(2024·福建厦门·统考三模)It was the longest heat wave anyone could remember,and Sebastian couldn't wait to cool off at the beach with his dad.Before heading out of town,they stopped at the library and dropped off a few books.
Sebastian noticed a crew working on the library roof.He asked Dad what they were doing.Dad explained that they were repairing the roof,a difficult job he had done himself for a few years.
It was then that an idea flashed into Sebastian's head:I bet they could use some water.But the idea disappeared just as quickly as the scenery passing by his window,and his thoughts turned to swimming.
The waves were perfect for bodyboarding,and a sea breeze cooled the air.But all too soon they were headed home,back to the heat.Sebastian was half listening to the radio when the DJ gave the weather report,“The recordbreaking heat will continue throughout the afternoon,” she said.“If you have to be outside,remember to hydrate (补水) and stay in the shade.”
When they drove by the library,the roofers were still working and the sun was beating down on them.Sebastian wondered whether they have enough water.Sebastian had just finished two weeks of soccer camp,and even with frequent water breaks,it had been miserably hot.It made him think again about taking some water to the roofers.So he shared the idea with his brother,Marcos.Marcos shrugged.“You don't even know those guys.They've probably gone home already anyway.”
Maybe Marcos was right.Sebastian walked to the end of his driveway,where he could get a view of the library.But the roofers were still there,and the sun was still broiling (酷热的).Sebastian didn't see any coolers or jugs anywhere.Then he told Dad,“I really think they need some water.” A look of concern came over Dad's face.He picked up his car keys,saying “I think you're right.It's only going to get hotter.”

[参考范文]
Sebastian stuffed a bag with water bottles and got into the car with his dad.As they drove to the library,Sebastian nervously approached the roofers and offered the water.A man got down the ladder and held the bag open for the others to see,signaling them to come into the shade for a water break.The roofers looked surprised but grateful.As they passed around the bottles and opened them,one crew member asked,“How do you guys know we have run out of water?”
“It was all his idea,” dad smiled,nodding at Sebastian. Sebastian didn't know how to respond.But the crew's smiles said it all.Having finished their water,the roofers put the empty bottles back into the bag.They thanked Sebastian and his dad again and waved them goodbye as they drove away.Arriving home,Dad praised Sebastian for his kindheartedness.A simple act made Sebastian feel good.He tossed the empties into the recycling bin.Then he poured two big glasses of cold water,one for himself and one for his dad.
