英语 必修·第二册[S]作业与测评 Section Ⅵ　Viewing Workshop & Reading Club 课时作业(八) Ⅰ　阅读 Isabel Allende doesn't take anything for granted. The celebrated author grew up moving from place to place as the child of a diplomat; as an adult, she was forced out of her native Chile by political upheaval (动乱). Recently, Allende was honored by the National Book Foundation for her distinguished contribution to American letters—the first such award given to a Spanish­language writer. Allende's story is typically American: She came to the US for a new start after living for more than a decade for political shelter in Venezuela. By that time, Allende had already gained international fame for The House of the Spirits, a novel inspired by her family history. Actually, most of her writing comes from the “incurable desire to belong to a place”. Moving from place to place, and surrounded by people with varied lives, she realized that writers need not feel the pressure of making up stories. After all, Allende asks, “What is writing if it's not an attempt to sort out the confusion of life？” In her acceptance speech, she said, “As a stranger, I observe and listen carefully. I ask questions, and I question everything. For my writing, I don't need to invent much; I look around and take notes. I'm a collector of experiences.” All of this is hardly new advice, but it's advice that deserves repeating and listening to. Because in this way, writers and readers can turn weak and uncertain connections into strong and secure ones. “If we listen to another person's story, if we tell our own story, we realize that the similarities that bring us together are more than the differences that separate us.” 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了作家Isabel Allende(伊莎贝尔·阿连德)的人生经历和写作体会。 1．Where was Isabel Allende born?
