Dear Jack,
I am more than happy to introduce to you my favourite scientist,whose name is Tu Youyou.
Tu Youyou,a great scientist,has devoted most of her time to finding the cure for malaria. In 2015,she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering artemisinin,which is the key to the treatment of malaria. And in 2019,she was elected as one of “the Greatest Persons of the 20th Century” by BBC.So great is her contribution to the world that she has become an idol of many people,including me. Inspired by her story,I am determined to study harder so as to realize my dream.
I hope her story can also have a positive effect on you.
Yours,
Li Hua
Ⅲ.读后续写
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。
Jackson,now a successful architect in New York City,comes back to his father’s small wooden house that is on an island in the middle of a lake in New Hampshire. Jackson is fond of fishing. And he often takes his son and daughters fishing in the same place,where he used to fish when he was a child. His children are addicted to the fishing joy,which reminds him of the day 34 years ago.
34 years ago,Jackson was 11 years old and lived with his family on this island. On the day before the bass season opened,Jackson and his father were fishing early in the evening,catching sunfish. When his fishing rod doubled over,he knew something huge was on the other end.
He very carefully lifted the fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen,but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish,its gills playing back and forth in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm—two hours before the season opened. He looked at the huge fish,then at the boy.
“You’ll have to put the fish back,son,” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy.
“There will be other fish,” said his father.
“Not as big as this one,” the boy cried and shouted.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them,nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish,the boy could tell from his father’s voice clearly that the decision couldn’t be changed.
The father patted him slightly on his shoulder and sincerely taught him,“My boy,rules are simple matters of right and wrong. It is the practice of rules that is difficult,but it’s your choice.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:

[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
Jackson found himself in a difficult situation. He really wanted to keep this largest bass in the depth of his heart. However,his father was so determined that he had no choice but to give up. Tears welling up in his eyes,he tried to hold them back but it was useless. He took a final look at the fish as if he were saying goodbye,and then he slowly put the huge bass back into the lake.
Paragraph 2:
Do we do right when no one is looking? I think that if we had been taught to put the fish back when we were young,we would have learned the truth. The decision to do right remains fresh and pleasant in our memory. It’s nothing about others but only about ourselves,as well as our honesty. It’s not about how we have a chance to break the rules when nobody is watching,but about how we do the right thing and make the right choice.
