I.
A. 1. Kim. She was a fourth-grader. She felt it was hard having “Miss Perfect” for a sister and eagerly wanted to prove herself as good as her sister Amanda.
2. An essay contest on what it means to be Navajo.
3. She decided to enter the essay contest because she wanted to prove to everyone that she was as good as her sister Amanda.
B. ① her desire to win the contest and prove herself vs her sense of honesty and integrity (正直); ② her self-doubt and lack of confidence
C. 1. 1) What does being Navajo mean to me? / She (Grandmother) had taught Kim a lot about Navajo. / But those were complete lies! These sentences may foreshadow Kim’s staying true to herself and her values of honesty and integrity instead of telling lies.
2) Kim’s words flooded onto the page. ... Kim could have written 100 pages! These sentences may foreshadow Kim’s winning the contest because she poured her true feelings and deep understanding into the essay.
2. 1) “It was hard having ‘Miss Perfect’ for a sister.” → She gave Amanda a big hug, thinking it was actually not so hard having “Miss Perfect” for a sister.
2) “What does being Navajo mean to me?” → Being honest was actually the true meaning of being Navajo, thought Kim.
3) “But those were complete lies!” → Boring or not, this was the essay she would enter.
4) “Kim’s words flooded onto the page. ... Kim could have written 100 pages!” → Kim realized that it was her heartfelt words and the genuine connection to her roots that held the key to her victory.
II.
1. Para 1:
1) Why did Kim pick up her crumpled essay?
2) How would Kim deal with her crumpled essay?
3) How would Kim feel?
Para 2:
1) Why did students gather in the school auditorium?
2) Who would win the essay contest?
3) How would Kim feel?
4) What lesson would Kim learn?
2. 略
III.
1) Kim rushed to her room, pulled out her notebook, and began to write.
2) She tore the essay out of her notebook, crumpled it, and threw it on the floor.
Action chains are useful for creating a strong image. The first sentence creates a strong image that Kim was inspired and eager to write the essay. The second sentence creates a strong image that Kim was quite depressed and anxious.
IV.
Kim reached down and picked up her crumpled essay. She carefully smoothed out the wrinkles, picked up her pen with determination and began to recopy it neatly onto a new sheet of paper. Another thing Grandma had taught her was to be honest. Boring or not, this was the essay she would enter. Early Monday morning, Kim handed it in. Then it was just a matter of waiting. As the week went by, Kim could hardly focus on her schoolwork, feeling as if she might explode.
Finally, it was Friday afternoon and students gathered in the school auditorium. Holding her breath, Kim waited for the announcement. “The winner of the essay contest is ... Kim, Kim Longfellow!” Kim’s heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t believe she had finally won something! A surge of joy and pride swept over her, washing away all her self-doubt. Kim turned around and saw Amanda clapping enthusiastically, who seemed to be truly pleased for her. Feeling silly for being jealous, Kim gave “Miss Perfect” a big hug. She felt lucky to have stayed true to herself, which was the true meaning of being Navajo.
