　　排了近兩個小時的隊，瑪麗終于把錢存進了海濱的一家銀行。她走出銀行，來到沙灘上，心理盤算著女兒教育的開銷。她陷入深思，沒有注意到天越來越暗。一只大海鳥俯沖下來在海灘上啄了個洞。狂風在海面上呼嘯，把一棵樹拔出地面。呼嘯的海風和兇猛的海鳥要告訴她什么呢？女兒在國外能幸福生活嗎？不能預見女兒在國外將怎樣度過，她凝視這烏云，感到越來越擔心。 答案：

　　Having queued for almost two hours and having had her money deposited in the bank near the beach，Mary walked out of the bank and went to sit on the beach，reckoning up in her mind the cost for her daughter's education. She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice it was getting dark and a large sea bird swooped down and pecked a hole in the sand. The wind was roaring across the sea，tearing a large tree off the ground. As she could not foresee what her daughter would go through in a foreign country，she stared at the dark clouds，feeling more and more worried.

　　China may include some traditional festivals as part of its official holidays，sources said. The Chinese government has formed a preliminary(初步的)plan on the new legal holiday arrangement and the plan will be released “in the near future”．After that，public opinion will be sought on the Internet.

　　As an ancient country with a civilized history of more than 5,000 years，some traditional festivals represent part of the China's cultural heritage. However，current legal holiday arrangements only include the Spring Festival，traditionally held in January or February. Last year，Cai Jiming，a Tsinghua University professor and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC中國人民政治協商會議)，proposed shortening the National Day and May Day holidays from three days to one day and distributing the days to celebrate four traditional festivals—the Dragon Boat Festival，Mid-Autumn Day，Tomb-Sweeping Day and New Year's Eve. This proposal

　　has caused a national concern since then and quite a few experts and scholars have voiced their opinions to support it.“ The new arrangement better respects people's right to rest，as there are now more holidays and they are spread through the year more reasonably，” said an official. 寫作內容 1．以約30個詞概括短文的要點； 2．然后以約120個詞寫一篇議論文，闡述你對“設定法定傳統節日”的看法，并包括以下要點： (1)你認為是否應該把傳統節日設定為法定節日？ (2)陳述你的理由。 寫作要求 列舉充分的理由支持你的論點。你可以參照閱讀材料的內容，但不得直接引用原文的句子。

　　答案：

　　As authorities advocate，some traditional festivals are likely to be established as national legal holidays，which can help to keep Chinese traditional culture and customs alive especially in a world of the increasing globalization.(34 words)

　　Personally，I agree to the proposal of making traditional festivals legal holidays. My reasons are as follows. Firstly，the legal holidays offer citizens good chances to relax themselves and get relieved from work pressure. Secondly，the holidays help to combine national culture and customs together as well as carry forward Chinese history and

　　culture. No doubt，maintaining our culture and traditions is absolutely necessary in today's growing multi-culture communication. Thirdly，the holiday will also help to spread Chinese culture all over the world，making more people outside know about our great history and splendid culture，which can quicken our steps toward a more powerful country.
