Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.1. In many Western countries, a considerable number of parents have removed their children from school and are teaching them at home. Such children do all their normal lessons at home, often under the guidance of a parent. The first thing to consider is whether this is legal or not. In most countries it is, so long as parents can prove that their children are receiving an adequate education, equal to that provided by their state educational system. The next consideration is whether the parents have the time, self-discipline, intelligence and patience to teach their own child week after week, day in and day out, for hours on end. Then there is the problem of wh Nat will be taught, and how.
在很多西方国家,已有数量可观的家长把孩子从学校带回家自己教。这些孩子通常是在父亲或母亲的指导之下在家里进修所有的正规课程。让孩子在家上学首先需要考虑的是这样做是否合法。在多数国家是合法的,只要家长能证明自己的孩子在家里受到合格的、与国家教育体制提供的质量相当的教育即可。接下来要考虑的是家长是否有时间、有自制力、有学识、有耐心,可以周复一周、日复一日地一连几个小时教自己的孩子。然后的问题就是教什么、怎么教。

Part Ⅵ WritingDirections:
You are to write in no less than 120 words about the title "Do You Think Awards and Prizes can Serve a Useful Purpose?" You should base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:1. 1.你认为奖励和奖金重要吗?他们能起到激励人们努力工作的作用吗?
2.请举例说明你的观点。
Do you think awards and prizes can serve a useful purpose?
A prize or award, whether it's the Noble Prize, the Academy Award, or the Best Handwriting Award in an elementary school, is important. They can serve a useful purpose, because they can have economic, personal, and social effects that enrich the life of the winners.
Prizes like the Noble Prize are cash award. The winners are encouraged financially. They can use the money to improve their living and working conditions, and as we know that many of the winners use the money for their further research and studies. An award, like the Academy Award, gives people honors. This is also an encouragement to the recipients. For example, an actress who wins best actress with the Academy Award will be offered more roles and a higher pay than actresses who don't win. Even an elementary school boy who received the school's Best Handwriting Award will be proud of himself and may get a congratulation gift from his parents or grandparents.
The personal benefits of receiving any award are evident. Any award winner is pleased because he or she has been recognized as successful in his or her work. That's why when many people receive the Academy Award, they often cry because of happiness.
So we can say that awards and prizes serve a very useful purpose in encouraging people to work harder and to be more successful.
