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

第61题简答 The one thing all children have in common is their rights. Every child has the fight to survive and thrive, to be educated, to be free from violence and abuse, to participate and to be heard. These are innate human rights, as inalienable as those held by adults. But until 1989, these fights were not formally articulated in a legally binding instrument, nor were governments fully accountable to advance these rights for every child. This all changed 25 years ago, on Universal Children's Day, when the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It rapidly became the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history.

参考答案：所有儿童共同拥有的东西就是他们的权利。每个儿童都有权利生存、茁壮成长、接受教育、免受暴力和虐待以及参与并发表意见。这些都是固有的人权，就像成年人拥有的那些权利一样不可剥夺。但直到l989年之前，这些权利没有得到一项具有法律约束力的文书正式阐明，各国政府也不为促进每个儿童的这些权利充分问责。这一切在25年前的国际儿童日发生了变化，当时联合国通过了《儿童权利公约》。《公约》迅速成为历史上获得广泛批准的人权条约。

Part Ⅵ Writing

第62题简答 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic "The lmpor-tang of Self-confidence". You should write in no less than 100 words, and base your composition onthe outline given in Chinese below:

1. 凡事均应有信心;

2.自信心的重要性;

3.有了正确的态度，建立信心是可能的。

参考答案：The Importance of Self-confidence Self-confidence is very important to our life.As a wise man once said，“If you have no confidence in yourself，you are twice defeated in the race of life.With confidence，you have won even before you have started.”

If you are full of self-confidence，your creativeness，your enthusiasm will all be aroused，and you will overcome difficulties.As a result，your dreams will come true.On the contrary，if you have no confidence in yourself，there is little possibility that you would ever achieve anything.Failure will be following you.But self-confidence comes only when you know yourself.You should know both your weaknesses and strengths.Only after this can you be well in doing great things.

Try something you’ve never done before.Just taking on a challenge，whether you succeed or not，can increase your confidence.In a word，self-confidence is greatly important to our success.
