The Prevalence of Western Holidays
It is noticeable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day， while Chinese traditional holidays are being somewhat neglected. Old people often complain that Chinese New Year has lost its real meaning. To their astonishment， young people in China， ignorant about Chinese traditional holidays， are crazy about Christmas or Valentine‘s Day. There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon. First， western nations， such as the United States and Britain， are powerful and dominant in every aspect. Everything in these countries is assumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people. Second， the prevalence of English as a world language and the development of globalization enable western culture to flood in China. Overwhelmed by such a trend， Chinese unconsciously get involved in western culture. Last but not least， some Chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while dismiss our own possessions with contempt. I am critical of this trend.
China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. In modern times， Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. But it seems that young people no longer treasure the tradition. On the contrary， they turn to pursue enthusiastically a supposedly more modern culture. If this trend is allowed to continue， the priceless heritage of our ancestors will be replaced by western traditions. Nobody expects such a consequence. So let s join hand in hand to protect Chinese tradition.

Internet in China
According to the above chart， the number of the people who go on the Internet has increased from 3.04 million in 1999 to 118 million in 2004. This indicates that Internet has gained its popularity in China at a very high speed. There are many reasons for Internet‘s rapid development in China. First， as a convenient source of information as well as an efficient means of communi
cation， Internet becomes more and more useful to our study and work. Second， due to fierce competition computer companies have lowered the price of their products. The cheaper computers become， the more users there are.
With computer， they can easily have access to the Internet. In addition， with the development of our society and the improvement of our living standard， people in China pursue a more colorful life with Internet. Some people download music and movies from the Internet， some join various clubs and make friends on the Internet， and some even often do some shopping through the Internet. Internet is also a sword with two edges. It brings about troubles for us. One common problem is computer viruses. They spread very quickly through the Internet and cause great damage to computer users. Another is crime committed through the Internet. As a result， we feel happy about the rapid development of Internet in China but at the same time we should guard against its negative effects.

How to Deal with Cheating?
Many students tend to cheat in the exams. Some will copy the answers from their books. Some will talk with each other to share the right answers. Besides， some even write down the information on their skin. There are several causes leading to cheating. Some students want to get high scores without efforts. Secondly， some are under great pressure and they fear to fail the exams. Once the students are found cheating， the teachers should punish them severely and explain the harm of cheating to them. There are at least two ways to eliminate cheating. On the one hand， we should explain the harm of cheating to our students. On the other hand， strict measures should be taken against cheating. As a result， the fair play in the exams can be achieved and students can pay attention to study instead of cheating.
继续教育问题
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Boom in Continuing Education. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:
1)上图为某城市2002-2008年参加继续教育的人数情况，请描述其中的变化;
2)分析导致该变化的原因;
3)谈谈你对继续教育的看法。
【范文】
A Boom in Continuing Education
From the graph, we can learn the number of continuing education participants has kept increasing from 2002 to 2008 in X city. In 2002 there were only 20 thousand people taking part in the
continuing education, but in 2004 the number grew to 70 thousand, and in 2006 150, and by 2008, the number has reached 230 thousand. It can be seen easily that continuing education is gaining more and more popularity。
The following reasons are responsible for this boom in continuing education. Firstly, during the work many people begin to realize what they have learned in schools is far from enough. So they turn to continuing education to gain more knowledge and skills. Moreover, as the science and technology in China are developing very fast, adults after graduation have to refresh themselves. In addition, in modern society, those without bachelor's degrees or above are less competitive。
As far as I am concerned, the boom in continuing education is a necessity. It provides those on-the-job people with chances to get advanced degrees and gain more knowledge. As our society develops, more and more people will receive continuing education in the future。

Directions： For this part， suppose you are Zhang Hong， you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter to the department concerned to complain about having missed an important appointment because the train was delayed. You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestions given below in Chinese：
1. 讲述这次约会的重要性

「范文」
To whom it may concern，
I‘m writing to complain about a train delay. I took the T435 train from Beijing to Tianjin on January 14th for an important business appointment in Tianjin. I was supposed to negotiate a business contract with a German company. But due to the train delay I was an hour late and the negotiators from the German company had already left when I finally arrived. As a result， my company suffered great loss and I received punishment consequently. Train delay is a common phenomenon in our country and has caused many losses and inconveniences. I think the railroad company first of all should take effective measures to reduce the occurrence of train delay. In addition， the railroad company should compensate the passengers in case of a train delay. I am looking forward to a satisfying reply soon.
Yours sincerely，
Zhang Hong

Dear John，
I‘m very glad to hear that you have passed the entrance examination and been accepted by a very famous university. I feel very proud of you and I believe you really deserve the honor since you have been working so hard. As you have mentioned in the letter， there are both some similarities and differences between the college life and the life in high school. On the one hand， you have to go on working hard as there are a lot of subjects for you to learn.
On the other hand， in high school， teachers will probably tell you what to learn and how to
learn in details and will also monitor your learning performance， while in college， teachers work like tour guides and you have to find out your own way to acquire knowledge and solve problems. For you， I think to be optimistic is very important. If you hope to adapt yourself to the new environment， you‘d better be positive no matter what difficulties you will experience in your college life. May you adapt yourself to the college life as soon as possible!
Truly Yours，
Carl
大学生村官问题
Directions：For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic College Graduates Work as Village Officials. You should write at least 150 words， and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below：
1. 你是否认为大学生当村官是个好主意;
2. 大学生能给乡村提供些什么;

「范文」
College Graduates Work as Village Officials
Nowadays many college graduates choose to work as village officials in the remote areas. To this， people‘s attitudes differ sharply. Some hold the positive view while others are against it. As far as I am concerned， I believe that it is a wise choice. Above all， college graduates can contribute a lot to the development of the countryside. First， they can apply their professional knowledge there. Secondly， they can introduce new concepts to the countryside and speed the development of rural culture. As a result， the gap between the city and the countryside can well be bridged. In addition， these graduates can benefit a lot from working as village officials. While too many college graduates are fighting for the handful of positions in big cities， these graduates can find themselves a wider stage of development and realize their value. Therefore， college graduates working as village officials are a win-win choice and more graduates should be encouraged to work in the countryside.

Media and Shopping
With numerous technological advances， various kinds of media have been well developed. As a result， an increasing number of people are fond of purchasing goods with the help of media， such as newspapers， radio stations， TV stations and the Internet. As we know， there are always two sides to everything and shopping via media is no exception. On the one hand， it saves much time， money and effort to purchase goods through medi
a since you don‘t have to go to the shops in person. Besides， you can choose what you want from an enormous variety of goods on display. On the other hand， you may be cheated sometimes by the false information and suffer a considerable loss. As far as I am concerned， shopping via media brings great benefits to our life and our economy on the whole. At the same time， we need strengthened supervision over the information released via media. In this way， we can gain more benefits from shopping via media and reduce the possible harm to a minimum
