Pina did the only thing she could. She opened the window and dropped the children, one by one, into the arms of the firefighters’ about 15-20 feet below.

26、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。
My name’s Don Ball. I’m fifteen and I go to Blueway Comprehensive School, Mike is the same age and goes to the local grammar school, but we’ve been friends since junior school, We both live in the village of Saltley, which is in the Midlands. We’ve been birdwatching together since we were 11. I suppose we’re quite good at it now, because we do it regularly, read about it, use the Net to find out about birds, and we’re members of a club for birdwatchers, too.
We have a secret place, named RP, to watch birds. RP is the name we gave to a set of three small lakes surrounded by woods. They are called Redman’s Pools on large maps, but lots of people don’t know they are there because they are hidden by trees.
One day, Mike told me that he saw osprey(鱼鹰) there, which surprised me. There weren’t any in Britain because they’d been hunted too much. They were protected by the RSPB, because lots of people wanted the eggs for their collections.
By now the ospreys had finished building their nest at the top of one of the pine trees on the island in the middle of Big Pool, Of course, we still went to watch them every weekend, and a couple of nights after school, now that the days were getting longer.
One Saturday we were surprised to find a white car parked on the roadside near the track, and as we wheeled our bikes down the track to Redman’s Pools we saw a middle-aged man walking along the side of the pools with a large blue plastic bag over his shoulder.
He stopped at the point where the bank was closest to the island and started doing something with the bag. I was horrified by what I saw. The man had taken a small inflatable(可充气的) plastic boat out of his blue bag, and he was blowing it up.
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。
He was going to row over to the ospreys’ island!
