americans in the postwar period were more eager than ever

to establish families. they quickly brought down the age

at marriage for both men and women and brought the birth

rate to a twentieth century height after more than a hundred (1)__ years of a steady decline, producing the

“baby boom.” these young (2)__ adults established a

trend of early marriage and relatively large families

that went for more than two decades and caused a major

patterns. from the 1940s through the early 1960s,

americans married at a high rate (4)__ and at a younger

age than their europe counterparts.(5)__ less noted but

equally more significant, the men and women on who (6)__

formed families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduced

the (7)__ divorce rate after a postwar peak; their

marriages remained intact to a greater extent than did

that of couples who married in earlier as well (8)__ as

later decades. since the united states maintained its

translate the following text into english. write your translation on answer sheet three. 得病以前，我受父母宠爱，在家中横行霸道，一旦隔离，拘禁在花园山坡上一幢小房子里，我顿觉打入冷宫，十分郁郁不得志起来。 一个春天的傍晚，园中百花怒放，父母在园中设宴，一时宾客云集，笑语四溢。我在山坡的小屋里，悄悄掀起窗帘，窥见园中大千世界，一片繁华，自己的哥姐，堂表弟兄，也穿插其间，个个喜气洋洋。一霎时，一阵被人摈弃，为世所遗的悲愤兜上心头，禁不住痛哭起来。

section b english to chinese translate the following text

into chinese. write your translation on answer sheet three.

in his classic novel, “the pioneers”, james fenimore

cooper has his hero, a land developer, take his cousin on a

tour of the city he is building. he describes the broad

streets, rows of houses, a teeming metropolis. but his

cousin looks around bewildered. all she sees is a forest.

“where are the beauties and improvements which you were to

show me?” she asks. he’s astonished she can’t see them.

“where! why everywhere,” he replies. for thought they are

not yet built on earth, he has built them in his mind, and

they are as concrete to him as if they were already

constructed and finished. cooper was illustrating a

distinctly american trait, future-mindedness: the ability to see the present from the vantage point of the future;

the freedom to feel unencumbered by the past and more

emotionally attached to things to e. as albert einstein

once said, “life for the american is always being, never

being.” part v writing (60 min) an english newspaper
