（2）.to provide their readers with....此动词不定时为目的状语，provide sb.with sth,或provide sth for.sb.

Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president’s palace in a new African republic
（1）.had been instructed 受委托
（2）Write....on...就....写.....这里用介词on,表达“有关，关于”，相当于介词about的含义。

Eg :He has just written a book on animals.

When the article arrived ,the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it.
refuse to do sth 拒绝做某事。

The article began :Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president’s palace.’
(1).lead to 通向
(2).which surrounds the president’s palace
定语从句，环绕总统府的高墙。

The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
（1）.instructing him to现在分词短语作状语，对谓语动词sent作一部说明。

（2）.height 高度，宽度width
深度depth 长度length
(3).instructing him to....现在分词短语作状语，对谓语动词sent作进一步说明。

The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts,but he took a long time to send them （1）.主语为人
eg：I took three hours to get home last week
上一周我花三小时到家
（2）.主语为行为：
Eg:Painting the wall took me all day.

Meanwhile ,the editor was getting impatient ,for the magazine would soon go to press

(2)go to press 开印，复印
He sent the journalist two more faxes,but received no reply

When the journalist again failed to reply ,the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written

这个年轻人，不仅聪明，而且勤奋
However,he had at last been allowed to send a fox in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1,084 steps leading to the fifteen-foot wall which surrounded the president’s palace.
（1）.in which引导一定语从句，修饰a fax,此处in 不能省略，相当于in the fax.
（2）.while counting 为时间状语
（3）.leading to ,现在分词短语，作定语后置修饰steps.

Key to Composition
A possible answer
The journalist counted the number of steps as he wearily climbed up to the high wall surrounding the president’s palace.On arriving at the main gate,he sat down to get his breath back.He then produced a tape measure in order to measure the wall.While he was busy measuring the wall,a policeman approached him and asked him what he was doing. Though the journalist explained he was a reporter and his editor had asked him to find out the exact height of the wall,the policeman refused to believe him. He was arrested and sent to prison because the police thought that he might even want to assassinate the president. When the journalist insisted he was innocent, he made things worse for himself. This proved to the police that the man certainly was guilty and deserved to stay in prison indefinitely.
