It was the first day of our new grade. Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily, excited to see each other again after the long holidays. When the door slid open, all of us stopped talking and turned to look. In came our teacher Ms. Sullivan, followed by an ordinary-looking boy,

“This boy’s name is Rafael.” Ms. Sullivan announced. “He’s a transfer student (转校生), and he’s going to be in our class starting from today. Make sure all of you welcome him warmly.”

The class clapped. But I didn't want to have a second look at the newcomer, for he had no outstanding qualities considering his small figure and casual T-shirt.

“Oh, I forgot to mention one thing.” Ms. Sullivan spoke up. “Rafael actually has hearing problems. Normally he would have hearing aids on, but his old ones have just been broken.

His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Rafael insisted on attending his first day of school. So if you want to communicate with him, you have to write it on a piece of paper.”

This single speech sent the whole class up into an uproar (嘈杂). Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Others voiced cries of concern out of pity.

Ms. Sullivan calmed everyone down. “I’d like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers?”

“How can a disabled person be intelligent?” I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom.

It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms. Sullivan's.

“How about you, James?” She asked me. “Is it okay for you to take care of Rafael just for today?”

It is difficult to refuse a request by someone, especially if that person is a teacher. I sighed and nodded slightly. Ms. Sullivan gestured for Rafael to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class.

Paragraph 1:

Immediately, the class became excited.

Answer

Paragraph 1:

Immediately, the class became excited. Some could hardly wait to tell their seatmates about their holiday trips, eyes shining and faces glowing with joy. Those who hadn’t been anywhere bombarded them with inquiring questions. Enormous joy welled up in every corner of the classroom. Obviously confused at the sudden noisy situation, Rafael turned to me for reasons in written words. Surprisingly, my explanation put a smile on his face. “Any volunteer to share your story?” asked Ms. Sullivan, whose words I set down on paper for Rafael.

Paragraph 2:

Then Rafael rose and walked onto the platform. Greeting us with a confident smile, Rafael shared his story in a magnetic voice, which left me stunned. I felt more ashamed to learn that he ran a website to help children with hearing problems than guilty about stupidly thinking disabled people couldn’t be intelligent. Then his voice was lost in a thunderous outburst of applause. Feeling a lump in the throat, I clapped my hands even more loudly, determined never to judge a book by its cover.

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公James开学第一天的遭遇：老师介绍新来的转校生，他长相普通而且听力有问题，由于助听器坏掉无法与同学们正常交流，老师希望能有同学帮助他，而James成为老师的人选并安排这位新同学坐在James旁边。

本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，老师介绍新来的转校生，他长相普通而且听力有问题，由于助听器坏掉无法与同学们正常交流，老师希望能有同学帮助他，而James成为老师的人选并安排这位新同学坐在James旁边。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：Immediately, the class became excited.(全班立刻变得兴奋起来)，所以应该写全班同学分享假期故事。要详细描述同学们在讲述假期故事时的神态表情和动作，但同时要描述新同学由于听力问题对着突然的反应的疑惑以及与James之间的交流等。第二段开头是：Then Rafael rose and walked onto the platform.(然后Rafeal站了起来，走上讲台) 本段应该写Rafeal走上讲台后分享的故事，且故事主题应是Rafeal并没有因为自己听力问题而自卑，反而因此做了更有意义的事情，才能呼应前文中提及的How can a disabled person be intelligent?而出现转折，从而在文章最后领悟到“不可以貌取人”。

续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
