10．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The summers in my hometown of Desert Springs were exceptionally hot, and all that people wanted to do was nothing but swimming in the public pool. This also meant that the most coveted (令人垂涎的) summer job for a high school student was to be a swimming instructor. You got to spend the whole summer in the pool and it was really glamorous (有魅力的), too!
However, I did not get a job as a swimming instructor. I tried really hard—I’m a good swimmer and I practiced my interview answers for weeks beforehand, but the pool offered me a job as a lifeguard instead.
Being a lifeguard wasn’t nearly as fun or glamorous as being a swimming instructor. Mostly, being a lifeguard meant sitting next to the pool, sweating in the hot sun, and making sure everyone obeyed the rules. “Being a lifeguard is an important job,” my dad kept reminding me, “and you have to be one of the best swimmers in the whole town. If someone gets hurt or in distress in the pool, it’s your job to rescue them.” I knew that, and I wanted to do well at such an important job, but I was still disappointed. No one at school next year would be impressed with a story of how I sat in a chair all summer and got sunburnt.
But finally I took the job anyway. Once I began work, I quickly learned that being a lifeguard was much more involved than I thought. With half of the town at the pool at any given time, there were a lot of people to keep an eye on.
I was also still jealous of the swimming instructors, who I could see every day from my seat in the lifeguard chair, which was almost eight feet tall to give me a good view and right by the side of the pool. The swimming instructors always looked like they were having so much fun, giving their lessons and playing around during their breaks in the cool, inviting water.
One afternoon, midway through the summer, I was arguing with a group of elementary schoolers about the no running rule when the sound of a woman shouting caught my attention. “Carey! Carey!” I glanced around and saw a woman searching frantically (疯狂地) for something. Immediately, my eyes went to the pool.

【答案】One possible version:
Everything looked fine until I spotted the shape of a small child. He was floating, unmoving, with his head under the water in the deep end of the pool. Without thinking, I leaped off my chair and into the water with a tremendous splash. I swam as quickly as I could over to the spot. When I reached him, I grabbed him around the chest and pulled him to the surface before swimming, slowly now, to the side of the pool. As soon as we broke the surface of the water, the boy began shouting, which I took as a positive sign. By the time we reached the side of the pool, his mother was there along with a small crowd of onlookers. Seeing her boy safe and sound, she tottered forward and sank upon the bosom of her son, crying tears of joy. Then she clasped my hands tightly, expressing thanks again and again.
I was feeling a bit embarrassed now with all of the attention. So once the boy’s mother and the pool’s medic took over I gratefully slipped back over to my chair. The pool was relatively calm now after the commotion. Only a few people remained in the pool. I was surprisingly okay — I expected to be more frightened by the experience. As I combed my wet hair out of my face, one of the swimming instructors walked up and stood next to my chair. “That was really brave,” she complimented me. “You lifeguards do a really important job and I really appreciate all of your hard work.” That was nice to hear. And while I was definitely still jealous of how the swimming instructors got to swim in the pool all day, I could now better appreciate the value of my own role.
