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。

Imagine sitting at your breakfast table having a cup of coffee when all of a sudden you see someone about to die. What would you do? Last Christmas, John Gelinne found out.

On Dec. 26, Gelinne, 60, was watching out the back windows of his home in Edgewater, Maryland, at frozen Beards Creek (河流). Children and grandchildren were running around the house. That’s when Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small plane a few hundred yards away, losing altitude (海拔高度).

As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander, realized it was going to land in the creek. He flashed on a moment from more than20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., when terrorists (恐怖分子) crashed a plane into the building. He escaped but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and

“To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could have gone right, but I went left,” he recalled. “I always second-guessed myself about that decision.”

On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had slipped to a stop on the broad, frozen creek, far from the shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot.

Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John Ir., 37, pulled two kayaks(皮艇) out.

“I figured, if it can float on the water, it can slide on the ice,” Gelinne says. The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved easily broken, so the pair tried using shovels (铁铲) to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them moving in circles. But with some muscle, they made progress.

The two men set off, pushing their boats across the ice.

At the age of 18, we become adults and are given the right to vote, to travel the world and to pursue our dreams. At 60, we enter a new phase of life. It marks the start of retirement for most of us. There are 42 years between these two major phases. Interestingly, the number 42 is also associated with marathons, which cover42 km.1． Let’s explore.

It takes time to prepare.

To run a full marathon, you need to train hard for months and even years, slowly building your endurance(耐力). The same goes for building a savings pool for retirement. 2．   So, if you’re thinking about saving for retirement, don’t hesitate! Get started today.

3．

Preparing for a marathon requires a well-rounded approach. Similarly, individuals building a retirement fund need to build a file that is diversified across different property classes. By diversifying your investments, you can survive market unstability and safeguard your hard-earned savings.

Every runner runs his own race.

Just like marathon runners focus on running and completing their own race, retirement planning for every individual is a personal endeavour. Trying to keep pace with another runner can damage one’s performance. Similarly, each person’s financial situation is unique and as such, each person’s approach to retirement planning will be too. 4．

Are you serious about planning for your retirement? 5． With a little hard work and dedication, you can cross the finish line with flying colours.

A．It makes sense to cover every aspect.

B．Starting small and starting young is essential.

C．Preparing for the race requires more than just physical training.

D．Take your time to dream big and plan carefully your retirement.

E．The key is to find what works best for you and remain committed to it.

F．If so, take a page out of the marathon runner’s playbook and begin training.

G．Are there lessons in training and running a marathon- that can be applied to retirement planning?

The house had been cleaned and staged elegantly. The air smelt fresh. Little labels on all we saw around the house provided important details: date of purchase and the current selling price. We were at a garage sale. There was no talking or bargaining. Buyers could pick up at the listed price.

All efforts that release cash that is locked into stuff touch me deeply. If they break conventional ideas, I will like them even more. It is my view that people love to follow suit and end up with emotions they ought to feel, rather than being true to themselves. To say that one does not care for one’s grandmother’s necklace is considered rude, so one would simply keep it in the locker and pass on the keys to the next generation.

No longer so, I am guessing.

It’s not always about money, but perhaps about considering one’s choices. My argument always is to use stuff, if you like it so much. Wear those pieces of jewellery; use those pieces of furniture; take home those piles of old-time bedsheets. But if none of them fit into your current home, allow someone else to take them home. Turn those properties over instead of leaving them unused.

Hoarding is not a virtue. It is a waste of the money that is locked into the property you are hoarding. I may use it sometime in the future, say some. Give that a time frame. If you are holding something you haven’t used even once in five years, ask yourself if someone else may need it. Don’t sell if you don’t care for money; but do give it away.

All else needs to earn their place for their value and usefulness for you. Celebrate the liberation from hoarding and let there be light!

A．It illustrates family love.

B．It illustrates collection value.

A．Keeping things unused at home.	B．Giving away things to friends.

3．What may the author agree with?

A．Selling unused furniture.

B．Keeping old-time bedsheets locked.

C．Wearing as much jewellery as possible.

D．Visiting garages as frequently as possible.

4．What is the purpose of the text?

A．To advertise a product.	B．To report an event.
C．To organize an activity.	D．To advocate a lifestyle.
