阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse still, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore.    

They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste. One weekend, Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.

That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened?” Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice, “It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.” Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted, “Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.” “Just two of us.” complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other. Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes, that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus.

【故事大意】

本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了住在沿海城市的玛丽亚和彼得发现塑料袋被扔在海滩上，对此很苦恼，决定要做点什么来阻止美丽的大海被浪费掉。

于是他们决定通过在网上制作视频、写文章来呼吁大家一起爱护环境。视频和文章得到了人们积极响应。在大家的共同和持续努力下，海岸恢复了美丽。

伏笔：

1.当Maria和Peter在清理海滩时，他们注意到一些塑料垃圾上有着特定的标记或品牌，这可能暗示着垃圾的来源，为之后的故事发展留下线索。

2.在他们与父母的晚餐对话中，父亲提到了一个当地工厂最近开始使用更多的塑料包装，这可能是海滩上塑料垃圾增多的一个原因。

3.在他们拍摄的视频和文章中，Maria和Peter提到了海滩上一些不寻常的塑料制品，这些可能是某个未被发现的污染源的标志。

4.在故事中提到了当地社区对环境保护的兴趣和参与度不高，这可能是之后社区意识觉醒和参与环保行动的一个对比点。

5.Maria和Peter在清理海滩时，偶然发现了一个被埋在沙下的旧箱子或瓶子，里面可能藏有关于海滩历史或某个故事的秘密，这个发现可以在故事后期揭晓。
