閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
I was in New York City on a school trip. I called home from a pay phone, and my little sister, Alex, said four envelopes had arrived: Georgetown, Cornell, William and Mary and the University of Massachusetts. She then opened and read them to me in her ten-year-old voice: “We regret that we do not have a place for you...” Rejected from Georgetown. “You were one of many qualified candidates...” Rejected from Cornell. And number seventy-three on a waiting list of seventy-five at William and Mary. Accepted to U Mass, my safety school.
I didn’t digest the rejections immediately. I toured the United Nations, took train home and went back to school. Then I realized that other people had gotten into schools they really wanted to go to. Up to that point in my seventeen years, I hadn’t really failed at anything. I got good grades, made the school team and scored well on my SATs. I hadn’t experienced any major disappointments in my life, no deaths, no disease, no divorce, no cavities (齲齒) even. So being rejected seemed disastrous.
I had always assumed I’d go to one of the“good schools.”I really wanted to be chosen: This is the place for smart people, and we want you. U Mass, on the other hand, had the reputation of being a party school to which, come September, I’d be headed with the guy who sat next to me in tenth-grade history and who, during tests, left his book open on the floor and turned the pages with his feet.
I did not get active like my friend Heather, who, having been rejected by her first choice, made I Love Lucy-style plans to drive to the Duke campus with her soccer ball and her science-fair project to show the admissions board(招生委員會) exactly what they were rejecting. I simply said things like, “I’ve decided to give up the undergraduate degree and take a cake-decorating course.” The subtext in this was: I’m stupid. The world isn’t fair.

一、文章大意
文章講述了 “我” 在紐約參加學(xué)校旅行時(shí)，得知大學(xué)申請結(jié)果：被心儀的 Georgetown、Cornell 和 William and Mary 拒絕，僅被保底校 U Mass 錄取。一直順?biāo)斓?“我” 深受打擊，陷入痛苦與自我否定，覺得去 U Mass 如同與不那么上進(jìn)的同學(xué)為伍，是無奈之舉。與積極爭取的朋友 Heather 形成對比，“我” 消極對待，甚至想放棄本科去學(xué)蛋糕裝飾，認(rèn)為世界不公，自己不夠聰明。但父親的開導(dǎo)讓 “我” 重新審視這一困境，為故事轉(zhuǎn)折埋下伏筆。
二、伏筆及續(xù)寫回應(yīng)
伏筆：“我” 之前人生順?biāo)欤瑳]經(jīng)歷過重大挫折。
回應(yīng)：續(xù)寫中通過父親引導(dǎo) “我” 認(rèn)識到挫折是成長必經(jīng)，過往順?biāo)觳淮砦磥頍o挑戰(zhàn)，讓 “我” 從這次失敗汲取力量重新振作。
伏筆：U Mass 有 “派對學(xué)校” 的名聲，“我” 瞧不上。
回應(yīng)：后續(xù) “我” 重新審視時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)校課程、教授的亮點(diǎn)，轉(zhuǎn)變看法，意識到不能僅憑刻板印象評判學(xué)校。
伏筆：朋友 Heather 被拒后積極爭取。
回應(yīng)：與 “我” 的消極形成反差，促使 “我” 反思自身態(tài)度，學(xué)習(xí)她面對困境的勇氣，開始主動探尋 U Mass 的價(jià)值。
伏筆：“我” 打電話得知被多所學(xué)校拒絕的場景。
回應(yīng)：該場景奠定悲傷基調(diào)，續(xù)寫中以此為起點(diǎn)展現(xiàn)情緒轉(zhuǎn)變，從苦澀到受父親啟發(fā)后的釋然。
伏筆：“我” 對 “好學(xué)校” 的執(zhí)著向往。
回應(yīng)：后面領(lǐng)悟到學(xué)校名氣非衡量成功唯一標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，在 U Mass 同樣能追逐夢想，打破名校情結(jié)。
三、續(xù)寫要點(diǎn)
第一段：
情感線：從父親開導(dǎo)前的苦澀、自怨自艾，逐漸過渡到開始思考父親話語，內(nèi)心有所觸動，有一絲希望微光閃現(xiàn)。
故事線：父親與 “我” 促膝長談，列舉諸多名人失敗后逆襲的例子，如 J.K. 羅琳投稿多次被拒卻創(chuàng)作出《哈利 波特》，讓 “我” 明白失敗是成功墊腳石；同時(shí)回憶 “我” 過往克服困難經(jīng)歷，如學(xué)騎自行車摔倒無數(shù)次終能馳騁，使 “我” 意識到自身堅(jiān)韌。
第二段：
情感線：受觸動后徹底扭轉(zhuǎn)心態(tài)，變得積極、期待，充滿斗志迎接大學(xué)生活。
故事線：“我” 著手了解 U Mass 社團(tuán)、科研項(xiàng)目，主動聯(lián)系學(xué)長學(xué)姐咨詢經(jīng)驗(yàn)；報(bào)名參加新生交流活動，結(jié)識志同道合新朋友，還制定大學(xué)四年規(guī)劃，立志在專業(yè)領(lǐng)域發(fā)光發(fā)熱，向世界證明 U Mass 學(xué)子風(fēng)采。
四、主旨升華句
Failure is not the end but a new beginning, leading us to unexpected heights if we have the courage to embrace it.（失敗并非終點(diǎn)而是新起點(diǎn)，如果我們有勇氣接納它，將引領(lǐng)我們邁向意想不到的高度。）
Sometimes, the path less traveled by, like the one U Mass presents, can be the most rewarding, for it is where we truly find ourselves.（有時(shí)，像 U Mass 所代表的少有人走的路，可能最有收獲，因?yàn)樵谀抢镂覀儾拍苷嬲覍ぷ晕摇＃?br/>The rejections are not roadblocks but signposts, guiding us to a destination that might be even better than we initially dreamed.（被拒不是路障而是路標(biāo)，指引我們走向一個(gè)或許比最初夢想更好的目的地。）
Our worth is not determined by the names of the schools we attend, but by the efforts we put in and the growth we achieve.（我們的價(jià)值不由所讀學(xué)校的名氣決定，而由付出的努力與取得的成長衡量。）
In the face of setbacks, when we choose to rise with determination, we unlock the door to a future filled with infinite possibilities.（面對挫折，當(dāng)我們決心奮起時(shí)，就開啟了通往充滿無限可能未來的大門。）
五、兩篇寫作示范
第一篇
I remained bitter until one day, my father sat me down. He gently placed his hand on my shoulder and said, “Son, you know Thomas Edison He failed thousands of times before inventing the light bulb. Rejection is just life’s way of redirecting you.” As he spoke, memories of my own struggles, like learning to swim after swallowing gallons of pool water, flashed before me. I started to understand that failure was part of the process.
Deeply touched by his words, I began to reassess my situation. I dove into researching U Mass, finding a cutting-edge research program in my field of interest. I reached out to current students, who shared inspiring stories of transformation. I joined online forums, connecting with future classmates. Instead of dreading September, I now counted down the days, eager to embark on this new adventure, knowing that my journey at U Mass would be one of growth and discovery.
第二篇
I remained bitter until one day, my father sat me down. With a warm smile, he said, “Honey, you remember that play you were in You didn’t get the lead role at first, but you worked hard and stole the show in the end.” His words struck a chord. I thought about how determined I was back then. He then showed me articles about successful people who started from humble beginnings.
Deeply touched by his words, I began to reassess my situation. I visited the U Mass campus virtually and was amazed by the state-of-the-art facilities. I signed up for a pre-college orientation webinar and made friends with some prospective students. I even found a mentor among the alumni who promised to guide me. I realized that U Mass could be my springboard. I was no longer the defeated applicant; I was a future achiever ready to make my mark at U Mass.
【答案】
I remained bitter until one day, my father sat me down. Having noticed my sadness, he asked what was troubling me. I opened my heart to him, pouring out my frustrations about the rejections and my fears for the future. “I always thought I’d get into one of the good schools, Dad. Now I feel like a failure, like I’m not good enough.” After listening attentively for a while, my father gently reminded me of all my accomplishments — the countless projects I had excelled in, the teams I had led, and the awards I had earned. He concluded with a reassuring smile. “I understand how painful these rejections feel, but they are not a reflection of your worth. I know you have the strength to overcome this challenge, and I will he here to support you every step of the way.”
Deeply touched by his words. I began to assess my situation. My father helped me realize that dwelling on the rejections would only hinder me from reaching my full potential.True success is not defined by prestige, but by how we respond to life’s challenges. Changing my mindset from self-pity to determination, I decided to embrace the opportunities at the University of Massachusetts, knowing my journey would be shaped by my willingness to grow. With a renewed sense of purpose, I dived into my studies, joined campus organizations, and discovered new passions that enriched my life in ways I had never imagined. The initial disappointment soon gave way to anticipation and excitement. Looking back now, I am forever grateful to my father for his unwavering support and wisdom, which have been invaluable in shaping the person I am today.
