专题06 读后续写（第03期）-2023届浙江高考模拟试题分项汇编 【浙江省诸暨市2022-2023学年高三12月诊断性考试】阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 Mr. Beal’s Egg Drop Challenge was an institution (习俗) at my school.

All the kids carried their egg containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. If the egg broke, you were out. If the egg survived, you had to walk up three more steps and drop it again. This went on until the last egg broke. By the fourth launch, only Cassie and I were left. “OK,” Mr. Beal yelled. “Let them go on the count of three.” The class call
