As a child,Rob Stewart loved the natural world.“He loved everything in the sea,but sharks the most,”said his mother,Sandy Stewart.

Stewart spent his life studying and photographing sharks and other sea creatures,and creating films.Sadly,he died in 2017 at the age of 37 in a diving accident.The accident happened while Stewart was filming Sharkwater Extinction,which members of his crew completed after his death.

Knowing that about 25% of shark species were endangered and sharks might soon be extinct,Stewart worked hard to raise awareness of sharks and their key role in nature.Stewart believed that they should be protected against humans and other enemies.He studied how illegally shark finning has led to a great fall in the shark population.

When Stewart found out about the finning,he tried to end it.As an experienced diver and skilled cinematographer,he was able to raise awareness of the problem by filming sharks in their natural environment. “His films,” said Sandy Stewart,“show people how beautiful the underwater creatures are.People would fall in love with them and work to protect them.”

As of 2013,55 countries had banned shark finning.Stewart lived and died a hero in pursuit of saving sharks and the sea.He is believed to have saved one-third of the world's sharks.

Stewart's parents hope kids will continue his story by supporting shark-friendly actions.They encourage kids to buy or ask their parents to buy shark-free products.Another thing that young people can do is learn more about sharks.A good place to start is “Shark Database”,an online resource that was created by Rob Stewart's friends.

“It's your generation that we want to make sure see the world that Rob saw and do whatever you can to protect the big fish,”said Stewart's father. “One person can make a big difference.”

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。

I walked to Mrs Windsor's house and waited outside.She was working with another student,and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell.I stood against the wall and daydreamed about what I'd rather be doing.I had been tutored enough to read,understand,and even write some musical compositions,but I just didn't have a gift for it.Mrs Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free,so I felt my duty to try.

The door opened and Wendy Barton came out.I walked in,sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music.Today Mrs Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me.

With a smile,Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench,opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play.I arranged my fingers on the keys.Then I frowned(皱眉)and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements.I had to admit I was a rather mechanical(呆板的)pianist.

After about a page or two,Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers.There was a long pause.“What are you hearing in the music?”I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn't know what she meant.“Like a story.Here,let me try and you listen,”Pasha advised.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath,letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys.Then,she began to play.“See,it begins here beside some kind of river.Hear the water flowing beside you?”Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys.“Now a princess appears and she's picking flowers from the water's edge.”A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha's dancing fingers.
