Part V Translation Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWERSHEET.

第61题简答 No one gets out Of this world alive, and few people come through life without at least one serious illness. If we are given a serious diagnosis, it is useful to fry to remain free of panic and depression. Panic can constrict the blood vessels and impose an additional burden on the heart. Depression, as medical researchers all the way back to Galen have observed, can set the stage for other illnesses or intensify existing ones. It is no surprise that so many patients who learn that they have cancer or heart disease or any other catastrophic disease become worse at the time of diagnosis. The moment they have a label to attach to their symptoms the illness deepens.

参考答案：没有一个人能活着离开这个世界，极少有人一生一世没生过一次重病。如果医生诊断说你得了重病，避免恐慌和沮丧是大有益处的。恐慌会使血管收缩，增加心脏负担。而沮丧，正如自。古希腊名医盖伦以来的医学专家们所指出的，可诱发其他疾病或加重目前的疾病，难怪许多患者一听说自己得了癌症或心脏病——或其他什么灾难性疾病，病症立即就会恶化。一旦给自己的各种症状贴上某种标签，病情便随之加重。

Part Ⅵ Writing

第62题简答 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic "An In-creasing Number of People are Studying for Master Degrees". You should write in no less than 1 O0words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:

1. 越来越多的人在读硕士学位;

2.其中的原因;

3.你个人的看法。

参考答案：Need A Master Degree or Not Nowadays, most people want to enter graduate school. In fact, this desire has grown considerably in the past few years. Students struggle to pass the graduate school entrance exam, to survive the program, and find a job at the end of it. They read many exam preparation books. They may also attend special "exam preparation" seminars and courses. There are some reasons for such phenomenon.

First is the general perception that a graduate school diploma, a master' s degree, is needed for getting a better job. Second is that some students might not be sure what they want to do, and a few more years inside the courtyards of academic seems desirable.

In my opinion, this is not reasonable. I don't deny that a few passed and went on, but the majority failed and finally wiped away their valuable times. So we don' t have to study for the master degree. Never forget the old saying: every road leads to Rome!
