Dear Lynn,
I'm Li Hua, an exchange student from China.
I'm happy to know that I'll stay with your family in the next few months while I'm studying at the local high school. Thank you for having me! I'll arrive in Toronto on August 20th and get to your place late that afternoon. I wonder if you can give me some advice so that I can get myself better prepared for my stay in Canada.
Looking forward to seeing you!
Best wishes,
Li Hua
Ⅲ.读后续写(25分)()
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One morning this summer holiday, I was running on the road when I saw an elderly foreign lady waving her phone at me, speaking to me in a foreign language. Obviously, she didn't speak English at all. When I listened to her more carefully, I found she was speaking German. She was clearly lost and trying to walk to the house where she lived. She showed me screenshots of maps on her phone as if she wanted me to help her find her way home. Actually, I learned some German in my spare time because our school would have German classes the next term. However, I was so poor at it that it was almost useless in practice.
I studied nearby and I knew my classmate Lisa, who was good at speaking German. So I decided to telephone her. “Hi, Lisa. I came across a German lady. Do you have time to come and act as a translator now?” I said and then sent her my location. Unfortunately, Lisa answered, “Sorry, Belle, I'm shopping now. I can reach your place in about half an hour.” Hearing that, I had to tell her that I could manage myself.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind. I downloaded a translation app and used the voice function to translate what the lady said into English. Just in this way, I learned that she came here to visit her daughter who was new to the city to teach. And I also determined the address she needed to get to. It was not far from here to her house, so I offered to walk with her to her destination. She was greatly grateful to me and kept saying sorry for taking up my time.
When we got to the house, her daughter just came back. Florence, the name she told me, was as touched by my kindness as her mother. I kept reminding her that it was no trouble for me, and that I only intended to make sure her mother got there safely.
Walking with the lady was more rewarding than running alone. Despite having to rely on technology to communicate due to the language barrier, I felt lucky to have been able to help her. When I left, I couldn't wait to share the wonderful experience with Lisa.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
No sooner had I picked up my phone than Lisa called me.
_____________________________________________________________________________
When the German teacher entered the classroom in the new term, I felt I'd seen her somewhere before.

参考范文:
No sooner had I picked up my phone than Lisa called me. “Belle, how is it going? Do you still need my help?” Lisa asked. “Thanks, Lisa. Everything is OK. And I'd just like to tell you about it,” I said. I told her exactly what had happened, and specifically described how I had solved the problem. Lisa praised me for my quick wit. Then I asked her to teach me German in case I needed it later. She promised. By the end of the holiday, I could already communicate with her in simple German. So I was ready for the new term with confidence.
When the German teacher entered the classroom in the new term, I felt I'd seen her somewhere before. What amazed me was that she came over to me, saying, “Glad to see you again. I'm Florence.” I was surprised to find that she was the daughter of the old lady that I had helped during the holiday. What a fantastic fate! As our new foreign teacher, Florence was patient and considerate. We all respected her and took every lesson seriously. I even made friends with her mother, so I had more opportunities to practise speaking German. The wonderful experience not only proves good deeds bring rewards but also highlights the role language plays in building a bridge between people of different nationalities.
二、阅读拓展训练
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal.Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time on “small talks”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries — like the UK or France — people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than in the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and started a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
