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。

As the sun shone through Poltu’s window, he was already wide awake in his bed. He got up and ran straight to his study table. There, in an empty jam bottle, was the treasure. A colorful little butterfly. How difficult it had been to catch it in the backyard of his house. It had kept flying away from his grasp. But catch it he did. And now it was going to be part of his biology project in school.

The biology project required Poltu to submit the study of a living creature every month. Most of his classmates drew diagrams from their books as part of this exercise. But Poltu was going to do something different. He was going to present a live creature—this butterfly.

Poltu loved the different colours on the wings of the butterfly. Red, green and blue. How beautiful it looked when it fluttered the wings. Poltu had made a few holes on the cap of the bottle to let air pass through, and added tender leaves for the butterfly to nibble (小口的咬) on. He might have trapped the creature, but he cared for it.

Excited about displaying his exhibit to the biology teacher, Poltu dressed hurriedly, and left for school. His school was walking distance from his house. He took a short cut and when he arrived, the gate wasn’t wholly open yet.

He walked straight into his class, opened the bench window and placed the bottle on the windowsill. The golden rays of the sun streamed through the glass, on the delicate wings of the butterfly. Poltu’s butterfly looked simply gorgeous. In a few minutes, the area was full of boys, even from other classes, gazing fondly at it.

That day’s biology class was the most interesting in a long time. Pleased with Poltu’s initiative (主动性), the teacher asked everyone in the class to thank him as he made it possible for them to study a butterfly so closely. Poltu felt like a star for being treated like royalty.

On the way home, whatever small creature Poltu came across, he felt like putting into the bottle. But he checked himself as he wanted to give breathing space to his butterfly.

It was the summer of 1936. The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin. I had trained, sweated and disciplined myself for 6 years on the running broad jump. A year before, as a college student at the Ohio State, I'd set the world's record of 26 feet 8 1/4 inches. Nearly everyone expected me to win.

I was in for a surprise. When the time came for the broad-jump trials (选拔赛), I was shocked to see a tall boy hitting the pit (坑) at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps. He turned out to be a German named Luz Long. He had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt.

A nervous athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes. I fouled (犯规) twice on my qualifying jumps. Walking a few yards from the pit, I kicked at the dirt disgustedly. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of Luz Long. "Hi, I'm Luz Long. I don't think we've met." "Glad to meet you," I said. Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, "How are you?" "I'm fine. Something must be eating you. You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed." He said.

He seemed to understand my nervousness, and took pains to reassure me. Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he said, "What does it matter if you're not the first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts." All the tension left my body as the truth of what he said hit me. Confidently I qualified with almost a foot to spare.

Luz broke his own record and pushed me on to a peak performance. The instant I landed from my final jump — the one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 5 1/16 inches — he was at my side, congratulating me.

1.The author said "I was in for a surprise" because he _____.

A.beat Luz Long B.met a great competitor

C.qualified for the final D.joined in the Olympic Games

2.What can we learn about the author from the passage?

A.He remained confident in the Olympic Games.

B.He had qualified for the finals on his first attempt.

C.He broke the world record of the running broad jump.

D.He had prepared for Berlin Olympics in Ohio State.

3.What is the passage mainly about?

A.A memorable experience in the Olympics.

B.A reliable man in the Olympic Games.

C.A surprising result in the Olympic Games.

D.A good suggestion on how to win in the Olympics
