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。
It was March 8, 1970. Henry, the paperboy, finished delivering his newspapers on Maple Street. He was to meet the chief editor of the newspaper The Gazette. “Maybe I’d get a longer route,” he smiled.
“Hello, Henry. Wow! Strong handshake!” The chief editor shook hands with Henry.
“Thanks. It's from rolling and delivering all those newspapers.”
“So, about the newspapers ……” the editor paused. Henry's smile faded.
“We’re closing shop. Last July, the whole world saw the moon landing on TV - live. Television is how people get their news today. Local newspapers are the first to close.” He shrugged.
“Um, no! It's sad. People won't get their neighborhood news anymore,” said Henry. The editor nodded and sighed. Then, they waved goodbye.
A week later, Henry wondered if his old customers on Maple Street missed The Gazette as much as he did. He started out in the morning on his old route with a notebook. First stop: No.26. Mr. Grady answered when asked, “I sure miss the days of reading the weeks’ happenings in The Gazette. By the way, I have a pile of comics(漫画) from The Gazette. Think someone would want them?”
“Maybe. I'll ask around.” Henry took a note in his notebook.
He stopped at No. 27. Mrs. Burke was busy feeding her three babies. Henry suggested, “You should hire a babysitter.”
“Definitely! I was going to put an ad in The Gazette, but …… Know any neighbor with experience?”
Mr. Simon was at No.28, carrying his guitar. “Hey, Henry. My band is having a concert in the park next Friday. Tell all your friends.”
As Henry made more notes, an idea flashed across his mind: maybe he could create a newsletter(简报) for the neighborhood. But how would he print it?
He headed to the library and found the librarian. Seconds later, in front of a mimeograph machine (滚筒油印机), the librarian turned a handle and a printed sheet rolled out. “Will mimeographed copies work?” she asked.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
"Perfect," Henry was confident to carry out his plan.

参考范文:
“Perfect," Henry was confident to carry out his plan. In the evening, he returned to the library with a sheet of carefully designed paper. With trembling hands, he fed the paper into the mimeograph machine, turned the handle and watched with anticipation as the first printed copy rolled out. His first newsletter featured Mr, Grady's collection of comics from The Gazette, Mrs. Burke's request for a babysitter, and details about Mr, Simon's upcoming band concert. He named the little new publication The Weekly Maple Street Newsletter, hoping it could truly keep the neighbors informed and connected. Early the next morning, Henry set off on his old route to deliver his newsletters, feeling a surge of excitement.
The neighbors on Maple Street were amazed at the newsletter. Never in their wildest dreams had they anticipated reading a newsletter so relevant to them, especially after the closure of The Gazette. They held the precious newsletter close to their chests, their eyes sparkling with excitement. Inspired by Henry's dedication and enthusiasm, more neighbors began contributing their own news, announcements and personal stories, some even volunteering to help with the printing or donating money. With each issue, the newsletter grew in popularity and was eagerly awaited. As Henry created and delivered more newsletters, his heart overflowed with a sense of purpose and fulfillment: the world may have been moving on to TV, but on Maple Street, a new kind of connection had begun.
