Task 5

閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。

It was the swim season， but Elizabeth didn’t like swim meets. She got horribly nervous but not because she wanted to win. Her nerves came from the possibility that she would do something horribly wrong and let everyone down. On the day of a meet， she would be scared all day.

Recently， Elizabeth’s team announced a special swim night： Members 11 and older would swim a timed 50 meters in all four strokes and then have pizza. It wasn’t exactly a meet， because it would involve only team members. Elizabeth countered that it absolutely was a meet because there would be races， timers and so on. But her mother really wanted her to go. She fought back furiously but finally agreed.

When the day of the special swim night arrived， Elizabeth was nervous. When she got to the pool with her parents， she became even more nervous.

Her first race was the 50-meter freestyle. She swam her backstroke and breaststroke without incident. It wasn’t fun for Elizabeth. Her butterflies just kept flapping.

Then it was time for the T-shirt relay， which works like this： One person from each relay team puts on a T-shirt， a pair of socks， and a swim cap; swims 50 meters and gets out of the pool. She takes off the clothes and puts them on the next person， who then swims another 50 meters. This continues until everyone on the team has completed a lap.

For some unknown reason， Elizabeth’s relay team chose her to swim the anchor leg（最后一棒）. The team dressed her in socks and a T-shirt. And then she was off. She seemed to swim faster in the T-shirt and socks than she did when she wasn’t wearing them.

Approaching the halfway mark， she was still in the lead. Then somebody noticed that one of Elizabeth’s socks had fallen off and was floating in the pool. “She has to get that sock on before the end of the race，” a swimming official told Elizabeth’s team， “or you will be disqualified.”

注意：續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。

Paragraph 1：

Everybody on her team started screaming， “Elizabeth！ Elizabeth！ Stop！ Get the sock！”
