      Luckily，I knew it was happening and pushed myself out of the way of the falling ATV.Had I not，I probably would have broken my leg beneath the weight of the ATV or even lost it.I might have even broken my neck.It ended up turning out fine，apart from some pains in my chest for a week or so.This was a pleasant surprise for my friend.After seeing the accident，he said to me，"Dude，I thought you were dead."Perhaps I could have very well died，if I hadn't been lucky that day.
      That event was one I'll always remember for the adventure and the near-death experience.It's good to be adventurous，but it 's will really important to be wise and careful too.So，go on adventures—but he smart while you're on them!

• 9．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
     I put one last box into the back seat and closed the car door.It felt as if I were closing the door on my whole life.At first，I was excited when Mom told me she'd gotten a fantastic new job at an animal hospital.Then，because she always saves the bad news for last，she told me the really terrible part.The hospital wasn't in our city；it was miles away in the middle of nowhere.And I'm definitely not a country girl.
     I stood beside the car，taking a last look at our building.To most people，it probably just looked like any other old apartment house，but I loved every brick.Just then，I saw my best friends，Hana and Leo，come to see me off.While Hana played a cool riff（重復(fù)樂段）on her trumpet（小號），Leo sang， "We will miss you，Celia." I hugged them tightly and jumped into the car fast so no one could see me tear up.As Mom drove away，I waved goodbye to my friends，my neighborhood，and my life.
     We rode a while in silence，and I held my violin case for comfort.Leo，Hana，and I had been writing songs for our band，but that was all over now. "Don't think of this as an ending，" Mom said，with her knack（技能）for reading my mind. "It's an exciting beginning.It's normal to be a bit anxious about unfamiliar things，but you don't need to be afraid of them." I kept silent and looked out the window as crowded，exciting city streets turned first into tasteless suburban shopping strips（商業(yè)街）and then into endless，boring trees and fields of corn.We finally arrived at our new home，a two-floored wooden farmhouse.Mom said I could go explore.Mom never let me go out alone in the city，so maybe a bit more freedom would be one consolation（慰藉）of living here.
  
  注意：
  （1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  （2）請按如下格式在相應(yīng)位置作答。
     Feeling that country life might turn out okay，I wondered off，taking my violin with me.
                       
     I couldn't resist，so I took out my violin and began to play along.
