Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 1 to 5. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. The structure of an essay includes four parts: title, opening paragraph, body and conclusion. Your title should reflect the thesis or central argument of your essay. Avoid repeating the topic as assigned (or selected). Begin with a statement about the general topic and proceed to your particular thesis (论文) and approach to it. This structure will orient (使确定方向) your reader. Avoid giving a summary of what is to follow. Avoid writing about your essay; write only about your subject. (In other words, avoid such statements as: "In this section I shall discuss x." Simply discuss x.) The middle section of the essay should be divided into carefully connected paragraphs, each consisting of four to eight sentences. Avoid overly long or short paragraphs. Each paragraph should contain one major point, and must be related logically and grammatically to the preceding and following ones. Use connecting words (such as: however, therefore, in addition, nevertheless, and so on) to ensure smooth and clear transitions (过渡) between points and paragraphs. Never apologize. Avoid too such statements as "in my opinion", since the entire essay is assumed to be your opinion—that is, an opinion based upon and supported by material from the texts. Since the argument has built up to your strongest point, your conclusion should begin with what your argument proved—your thesis. A brief and reworded summary of your main points could follow for emphasis, but a plodding (单调乏味的) repetition should be avoided. End with an "opening outwards" to the general implications of your findings, remembering that the reader should be left with a feeling of your conviction, not your doubt or hesitation.

Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 1 to 5. Youth is not a matter of time but a matter of self-improvement, both physically and morally. Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word "patriots" by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.
