Section ATranslate the following into Chinese1. Man created language. It was man's way of communicating with his fellow man. The difference between oral and written language was that oral language could take the human voice to infuse it with the shades of deeper meaning. Mrs. Flowers was nearly singing when she read A Tale of Two Cities. It sounded beautiful. Her reading made me realize the wonder of language.
Mrs. Flowers gave me novels and poems. I learned value of life from these books and realized how beautiful the language of literature works was.
人类创造了语言,使语言成为人与人进行交流的工具。口头语言和书面语言一个不同之处在于口头语言能用声音表达细微的意义差别。弗劳尔斯朗太太读《双城记》时就像是在唱歌,好听极了。她的朗读使我认识到语言的神奇。
弗劳尔斯太太送给我小说和诗集。我从这些书中学到了人生的价值,认识到了文学作品的语言是多么美。
2. People have a short attention span. So in order to capture the viewers' attention, television must provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. The result of doing so is that news is too brief and results in inefficient communication. Many news programs are like "machine-gunning with scraps and fight coherence of mind. The appeal to the short attention will decivilize as well. To avoid complexity means to give up thinking. The "functionally illiterates" among adult Americans are continually increasing. They even do not know how to answer the want ad. Or understand the instructions on a medicine bottle. At least television should be responsible for part of it.
人们的注意力跨度很短,因此为抓住观众的注意力,电视必须通过多样化、新奇性和动作不断地提供刺激。这样做的结果是,新闻过于简短,不能提供有效的交流;很多新闻节目就像“机关枪发射碎片”,破坏了思维的连贯性。这种迎合注意力跨度短的做法,还会降低文化水平。避免了复杂性,也就牺牲了思考。成年美国人中“功能性文盲”人数不断增长,他们甚至不知道如何回答招聘广告或读懂药瓶上的说明,电视对此起码应负一部分责任。

Part Ⅳ Writing1. You are expected to write a composition of at least 200 words on the topic of "My Opinion on the Reformation of China's Medical Treatment System".
My Opinion on the Reformation of China's Medical Treatment System
In recent years, there were many pieces of news about the conflicts between patients and doctors. Some patients or their relatives even killed doctors to give vent to their personal spite. People in both urban and rural areas complain they cannot afford seeing a doctor. When they get sick, they buy some medicines from a small pharmacy or bear the sickness silently and wait time to cure it, instead of going to the hospital. From my perspective of view, I am in favor of the reformation of the medical treatment system. And I believe whether it will succeed or not depends on the government.
From the angle of the whole society, the goal of the health and medical sector is to guarantee the health of all the Chinese people with the minimum input. In China, only the government is powerful enough to regulate this sector and achieve this goal. If the medical system was marketized, the medical organizations and staff would desire to earn more money and neglect to shoulder the social responsibility. Unfortunately, such a phenomena does exist. Once my friend caught a cough. When he went to the private hospital, the doctor asked him to have his chest X-rayed and buy lots of medicines far beyond enough. According to the doctor's advice, he took more medicine for three time a day, and took more than ten pills each time. What's worse, he got worse. Then he went to a state-owned large hospital, and the doctor there advised him to stop taking medicine and have a good rest for several days. His case is not rare. The private hospital is not helpful to achieve the goal.
In my opinion, the government should issue more rigorous policies to regulate the medical sector and invest more revenue in improving it and subsiding the patients. Thus, we can have our expense covered and avoid being cheated by some private hospitals. And the relationship between patient and doctor can be more harmonious.
