18、一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。In 1989, fresh out of high school, I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited choices: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree.
19、 I wasnt interested in engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business. I couldnt decide.My uncle suggested that I do a work placement (实习) to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a good
20、 idea.I was accepted for a months placement at a foreign bank in Karachi.

24、 rolled over. He lay still in the middle of the road as the bus sped away. None of the cars behind stopped. Thinking that he could die in a matter of minutes, I stopped my car and carefully examined the boy. With the help of some passersby, I lifted the unconscious boy into the car and raced back to
25、 the hospital. After his family was contacted, and he was wheeled into emergency surgery, I drove home, exhausted but happy.Paragraph 2：The next day, when I went to the hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces. What a feeling it was to help save the life of
26、 another person! I spent the rest of the day in a state of the most fabulous mood I had ever experienced. Driving home that evening, I decided on my career path. Two months of placements could not do what 30 minutes helping an accident victim had done for me. This experience taught me that at times, the decisions are made for youand that whatever happens is always for the best.
