Ⅵ.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。

My adventure story took place in Nepal, where I did the Mohare Danda trek—which was no easy feat; however, in my opinion, it is truly one of the best hiking trails in the world.The Mohare Danda trek is one of Nepal's newest treks, opened in 2010 as an eco-trek to help support and develop the Parbat and Myagdi districts.

I've always enjoyed such kind of hikes as my friends and I conquer one destination after another.As you gaze upon the mountain peaks, interact with locals, and take in what surrounds you, it's hard not to feel immense gratitude for such adventures.This is particularly true when we reached the top of Mohare Danda at 3,313 meters and realized just how far we'd come.

It was a stunning hike, though my first day got off to a difficult start as I found myself violently ill.Ascending (登高) higher and higher, sweat pouring down my face and my backpack threatening to pull me to the ground, I stopped constantly to gasp for breath and throw up quite a bit—until we reached the high-altitude tea house where we'd be staying the night.The accommodation was rough, to say the least, which was a small family-run hotel with squat toilets,spiders,and no showers.

While the group went in for tea, I laid on the ground, nearly crying from the physical pain from the challenging hike and discomfort from the sickness.At that moment, I truly didn't think I could do it.But then I opened my eyes to the beauty that surrounded me—scattered wild flowers all over the mountains, feasting yaks and buffaloes, high-altitude villages and the stunning terrain of the Annapurna Himalayas, which were the type of beauty you truly can't find anywhere else—and realized that if I gave up now I'd never forgive myself.

The hotel owner was very kind, who brought me warm water and some medicine.He also suggested that I bring some oxygen just in case,and I did so.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

Paragraph 1:

After a good rest,the illness lessened and I felt eager to experience this hike.__________
