，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was our turn to open our presents this particular Christmas morning. The living room was already covered with torn wrapping paper. Obviously, the children could hardly wait to discover the hidden treasures, which they had expected for nearly a month. Now we adults sat around the room with our presents at our feet, slowly removing the paper, trying to maintain our dignity in front of the children.
My wife, Brenda, and her family have a tradition of getting each other gag （恶作居U） gifts. This always makes me a bit uneasy at Christmas or my birthday, never knowing what form of embarrassment lies waiting for me under the thin borders of the wrapping paper.
Recently, my six-year-old daughter Christy seemed to busy herself with something while I was playing computer video flight games. Now she was standing directly in front of me. The excitement of the moment just beamed across her face. It was everything she could do to keep herself from helping me rip the paper from each present. Finally, I came to the last gift and with my natural Sherlock Holmes ability, I concluded that this had to be the gag gift. With everyone looking on, I decided to go ahead and get it over with-just let them have their laugh—and I tore the paper and there it was a toy airplane about two inches long. Our holiday guests started giggling to themselves as I looked up to my wife with an unpleasant smile on my face and blurted out （月兑口而出）,“A toy airplane? Are you kidding me?”
Brenda gave me the look-that look that always tells me I have just said something wrong and should have given it a second thought. I had failed to look at the name tag before I opened the present to see who it was from. As T picked up the paper from the floor and read the name tag, my heart sank. 注意：
.续写词数应为150左右；
.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the tag were the letters that read, "To Dad, Love Christy”.
Staring at the gift, I suddenly thought of a way to cheer her up.

选项涂黑。
The bride is 97. The groom is 98. The couple has been married for 77 years, and thanks to some very special people, they were finally treated to some very special wedding memories they missed out on all those years ago.
The Kings are just like family to the staff of the St. Croix Hospice who serve as caretakers for the elderly pair in their Oelwein, Idaho home. With a big anniversary coming up, their caregivers wanted to do something special to celebrate the occasion and knowing something of the couple's history, they came up with a perfect plan.
When Frankie and Royce King took their vows（誓言）on September 16, 1944, the world was a very different place. The simple church ceremony was small and short. Rather than a lace gown （蕾丝长裙）,Frankie wore a suit.
There was no photographer on hand to record the vows.
While Frankie and Royce's wedding lacked splendor（壮观）,their life together has more than made up for it. Two kids, four grandkids, and several great-grandkids later, the Kings' marriage is still going strong.
On their anniversary, as one staff member played Big-Band era tunes on his saxophone and another took photos, Frankie, dressed in a lovely 1940s-era wedding gown, was led through a flower-covered archway to where Royce was waiting for her. By the time the big wedding cake was served, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Photographer Hilary Michelson said, "I work for St. Croix Hospice full-time while doing photography in my spare time. I am passionate about both of my jobs and it made my heart so incredibly full to see them embracing each other."
The Kings' daughter, Sue Bilodeau, is now putting together a photo album of cherished memories for them. "It was definitely one of the most special things ever,“ she said. "When Mom mentioned she didn't have time to plan a big wedding and didn't have a photographer, the St. Croix staff members worked together to make sure they could get their special day.”
What did the staff of the St. Croix Hospice decide to do for the Kings?
Help them recall their wedding memories.
Take good care of them as family members.
C Write something about the couple's history.
D. Celebrate their wedding anniversary like a real wedding.
What was the Kings' wedding ceremony in 1944 like?
It seemed to be the perfect plan.
It was simple and held in a small church.
It was followed by the couple's long separation.
It had only one photographer to record their vows.
What was everyone's response when the wedding cake was served?
They were all in tears.
They applauded loudly.
They were busy taking pictures of the couple.
They stopped doing everything and watched.
B
The slim, bushy-tailed Sierra Nevada red fox will be listed as an endangered species, federal wildlife officials announced last month. They said its population has decreased to just 40 animals in the area of California from Lake Tahoe to the south of Yosemite National Park.
The . Fish and Wildlife Service decided against listing a distinct population of the foxes in the southern Cascade Range of Oregon and near Lassen Peak in Northern California, however. "While the exact number remains unknown and is also subject to change with new births and deaths, it is well below the standard population levels?9 It provided no exact number of red foxes remaining in the Cascade Range.
As one of the rarest mammals （哺乳动物）in North America, the red foxes in the Sierra already are in danger due to threats of wildfire, drought, competition from coyotes （交防良）reductions in food and inbreeding （近亲繁殖）with non-native foxes. Additional future threats include climate change, continuing loss of snow fields and of the general habitat to which the Sierra Nevada population has adapted. This will likely lead to increased numbers of coyotes in high-altitude areas and to increased competition between coyotes and Sierra Nevada foxes for food, the service said.
The Sierra Nevada red fox has declined sharply because of poisoning and trapping, habitat destruction and disturbance from off-road vehicles and snowmobiles, said Jeff Miller, a senior conservation officer for the center. He said the animals face the same threats in the Cascade Mountains to Mount Hood, Oregon. "This is an important step, but the Fish and Wildlife Service should also protect these endangered animals in the Cascades/ he said.
The Fish and Wildlife Service noted it is not proposing designating critical habitat for the species at this time, however, because habitat “does not appear to be a limiting factor for the species.”
The agency estimates the 18 to 39 animals remaining in the Sierra can be found south of California State Highway 88 from just south of Lake Tahoe into the easternmost area of Yosemite Park in Tuolumne and Madera counties.
What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
The exact number of red foxes in California is still unknown.
The red fbxes in Yosemite National Park aren't endangered now.
The number of all endangered red foxes in the Cascade Range is certain.
The . Fish and Wildlife Service hasn't listed the fbxes in Oregon as endangered.
What are the main reasons for the population of this red fox to decrease so greatly?
a. Illegal hunting, b. The activities of humans. c. The attacks from coyotes. d. Damage to their habitat.
A. abc B. abd C. bed D. acd
What does the underlined word "designating“ in the fifth paragraph probably mean?
A. Taking up. B. Seeking out. C. Breaking up. D. Marking out.
What is the text mainly about?
An introduction to the Sierra Nevada red fox. B. The significance of saving endangered red foxes.
C. The decision to list red foxes as endangered animals. D. An analysis of the change in the number of red foxes.
C
The amount of sunlight that Earth reflects back into space has decreased significantly in recent years. Whether the decline is a short-term phenomenon or yet another bad sign for Earth*s climate still has to be proved, scientists suggest.
Our planet, on average, typically reflects about 30 percent of the sunlight that shines on it. But new research strengthens previous studies suggesting th
