二、读后续写
July 1971, I was taking a summer class in Black-American literature on the campus of SUNY Oneonta in northern New York. Professor James walked into the classroom and announced that he had invited a special guest to class, but his guest was delayed. The class stirred with curiosity and anticipation.
“Who’s coming?” someone asked.
“All I will tell you is that he is the author of one of the books you have read for this class,” he said. “I need a volunteer to meet him in the hall of the administration building and take him here.”
To my amazement, my right hand shot up as though it had a mind of its own. “What am I doing?” I thought. I never volunteered for anything. I was shy and uncomfortable meeting new people. In fact, I was absolutely the wrong person for this job. Realizing my mistake, I pulled my hand down quickly, but it was too late.
“Thank you, David,” Professor James said. “You’d better leave now. He’ll be arriving any minute.”
Seeing no way to back out, I reluctantly got out of my seat and headed for the classroom door. When I reached it, I stopped.
“Umm,” I said. “If I don’t know who this person is, how will I recognize him? I’d hate to bring back the wrong guy.”
Professor James laughed. “Good point,” he said. He pulled me aside and whispered a name in my ear. “Alex Haley,” he said.
“Really?” I said. I gave a thumbs-up to the class and left the room.
As I entered the empty hallway, I criticized myself for volunteering. “Why didn’t you let someone else do this?” Alex Haley was the author of The Autobiography (自传) of Malcolm X. He was also famous for his diligence, perseverance and in-depth thinking.
As I walked across the campus, my anxiety grew. I feared that I was about to embarrass myself in front of this famous gentleman by asking stupid questions, or worse, accompanying him in painful silence. I reached the front steps and climbed them slowly.

As I pulled open the heavy glass door, I realized why I raised my hand to volunteer for this job.

参考答案

一、
Dear David,
Knowing that you are interested in Chinese cuisine, I would like to invite you to experience the “Chinese Food Festival” in our city and taste the traditional delicacies here.
The activity will be held from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on August 23 in the Food Street of our city. There will be lots of famous local food then, and you can have a taste of what you like. What’s more, we have invited some top chefs to demonstrate how to make various kinds of traditional food, so you will get a chance to learn some cooking skills as well.
I believe this will definitely be a unique experience for you. Looking forward to seeing you next week.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
As I pulled open the heavy glass door, I realized why I raised my hand to volunteer for this job. Deep down, I had wanted to meet Alex Haley, not just to complete a task, but to seek inspiration and direction for my own dream of becoming a writer. I paced back and forth across the polished hall floor until a black man with a briefcase entered the building. He stopped and scanned the hall. His gaze fell on me. With sweaty palms and a racing heart, I approached him and introduced myself. To my relief, he greeted me with a warm smile and friendly manner that immediately put me at ease. I decided to ask him the question that had long bothered me.
Paragraph 2:
“I’d like to become a writer, but I don’t know if I have the talent,” I said. Alex Haley turned to me with a knowing smile on his face and said, “Talent doesn’t count for much. What matters more is constant practice and perseverance.” My inspiration had never been so high. I didn’t know if I had the talent, but I was sure of one thing: I was ready to try, learn and write my own story. I started writing every day. Within two years, I published three stories in national children’s magazines. Had I not volunteered to meet this extraordinary man, I would never have benefited from his wise advice and the rewards that followed.
