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。
Afel was only a very small boy when he first saw snow. But it wasn’t real snow that he saw. Actually, there was no real snow where he lived. He saw the snow in a picture book, which had lots of pictures of children playing in big white fields.
He dreamed about snow all the time, trying to imagine how it really was. He thought of big white fields. He thought of the big, heavy clothes the children playing in the snow wore. He thought about feeling cold. He dreamed of being able to fly across the white fields of snow.
Then, when Afel was twelve years old, the next thing happened. One day when he was watching TV at his uncle’s house. His uncle had a big new TV, with all the satellite channels. Afel was watching one of the satellite channels, and a program full of snow came on. And not only snow. There were people flying across the snow. They looked like fantastic birds. They had hats which covered all their heads and big goggles(护目镜) over their eyes. They wore brightly-colored clothes. And on their feet, they had things that looked like strange shoes.
＂What are those?＂ he asked his uncle excitedly.
＂They are skis,＂ replied his uncle. ＂And those people are called skiers.＂ Afel was in love. Here was the snow, and here were people who were flying across the snow. At that moment, he decided, he wanted to be a skier.
He asked his uncle what the program was. ＂The Winter Olympics,＂ said his uncle. ＂It’s like the normal Olympics, but for sports where you need snow — skiing, ice skating, bobsleigh, those sorts of things. They have it every four years.＂
＂Perfect,＂ he thought. ＂Enough time for me to become a brilliant skier. Then I’ll go to the next Winter Olympics, and win the gold medal for skiing.＂
＂But there’s no snow here!＂ people told him. ＂Where are you going to ski?＂

One possible version:
Paragraph 1：（第一段）
Afel didn’t care. He made himself a pair of skis from two pieces of wood. He tied them to his feet and practiced skiing holding two sticks in his hands as the professional skiers do. At first he couldn’t move, but he practiced and practiced and practiced until he could move quite quickly across the sand or the earth. He tried to fly down sand hills like the skiers on TV, but he couldn’t. He could only move slowly. But he told himself this was not the reason why he stopped making efforts.
Paragraph 2：（第二段）
So every night, out in the middle of the desert, Afel practiced skiing down sand hills. He dreamed that the yellow sand of the desert and brown earth were the white fields of snow he saw in the book and on the television. He dreamed that the yellow sand and brown earth were as gold as the medal he would bring home with him, when he was the world champion in the Winter Olympics.
前文概要：
Afel生活在一个见不到真正的雪的地方，但自他在一本图画书中见到雪之后，就对其充满好奇并爱上了这种神奇的东西。一天，Afel在他叔叔家的电视上看到了冬季奥运会的滑雪项目，并深深地被吸引了，他下定决心要成为一个出色的滑雪者，参加下一届冬季奥运会并获得金牌。但人们提醒他说他们所生活的地方没有雪。
思路导航：
Paragraph 1的开头是＂Afel并不在意＂，暗示接下来的内容会涉及Afel如何在没有雪的情况下自己制作滑雪用具，克服一切困难努力成为一个滑雪者，而Afel最初的尝试可能会遇到一些挫折。写作时可能会用到的画线词有skis， skiers， TV等。
Paragraph 2的开头是＂因此，每天晚上在外面的沙漠中间，Afel都会练习着从沙丘上滑下来＂，这表明下文讲的可能是Afel以一种特别的方式练习滑雪，把黄黄的沙漠想象成白白的雪场，并以奥运金牌来激励自己等。写作时可能会用到的画线词有the white fields of snow， Winter Olympics， medal等。

Nowadays_we_can_still_see_some_behaviors_against_public_morals.People often complain that they see some people jump in the queue，disturbing the harmony of society，and to be worse，chairs intended for children and seniors are occupied by the young.It is high time that we should take actions to improve public morals.
Firstly，government should make it a rule that people will get fined or punished if caught behaving against public morals.Additionally，it makes sense that schools should take on the duty to give students lessons on how to be a qualified citizen.
All in all，it owes to the majority’s support that we can live in a peaceful and harmonious neighborhood.Don’t hesitate to get rid of your own improper behaviors.
