Part ⅠWriting
On Chinese Workers’Paid Holidays
In 2007, the Chinese government released a draft that all employees of government organs, civil organizations, enterprises, and public-service institutions are entitled to take paid vacation after serving the same employer for one year. Some have sufficient faith that the paid holidays will improve the current tourism pattern. The new holiday scheme will give people more choices to make their holiday plans and thus it will greatly alleviate the pressure of transportation departments, security bodies, shopping malls, ect. during the current holiday boom.
Other people wonder if the new system will be available. It is likely to be a dream to have a paid holiday. Because the problem is that many people don’t dare to take long vacations. Competition is fierce. Nobody can afford a long holiday and leave the boss with an impression of not working as hard as others.
For me, I think it is necessary for, in future, the state to issue a regulation concerning Chinese workers-paid holidays. Stregthen the employers’ sense of the paid holidays. If they did so voluntarily, it will attract and retain employees. With these measures, it is expected that more employees in China are entitled to receive holiday pay for time off.
Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
1. Y 細節題根據信號詞“BMI, 85%”尋讀到第二段第一句。題干說超重的孩子是指那些在他們年齡和性別范疇內BMI超過重量群85%的孩子。題干與原文相符。
2. N 細節題根據信號詞 “educational system”尋讀到文章第三段，作者指出媒體或教育體系都沒有采用強勢的項目來鼓勵健康的選擇，包括鍛煉和健康食物。題干說根據這篇文章，教育體系在促進鍛煉和健康飲食上是積極的，故題干是錯誤的。
3. Y 細節題本題的信號詞是 “watching television”。題干說據觀察孩子每天看電視一小時或更少將更有可能遠離肥胖。根據第四段最后一句：在一個研究中發現，每天看一個小時或更少電視的孩子肥胖率最低，但是每天看四個小時或更長時間電視的孩子肥胖率最高。故題干是正確的。
4. Y 細節題題干說糖的攝人是孩童期導致肥胖的重要原因。文中Lifestyle Factors下第二點中作者明確指出糖是導致孩子肥胖的重要原因。
5. Y 細節題本題的信號詞是 “environmental, genetic factors”。題干說在多數情況下，肥胖孩子的父母也常常承受肥胖的痛苦，因為環境或基因的因素也是孩童時期肥胖的主要原因。依據Lifestyle Factors下第三點中講到的父母肥胖對孩子的影響，可知題干與原文相符。
6. Y 細節題本題的信號詞是 “Infants, birth weight”。題干說出生分量輕的嬰兒當他們成長到孩童或青少年時期也許會面臨肥胖的危險。依據文章第二節 (Causes and Risk Factors for Obesity in Children)里Factors Surrounding Birth下第一點：體重輕的嬰兒長大以后可能會身體肥胖并患有糖尿病，可知題干與原文相符。
7. NG 綜合判斷題題干說隨著年齡的增長，肥胖的孩子獲得一個健康的重量會更難，因為存在生物學的慣性。在整篇文章中，作者沒有提及這點。
8. cholesterol levels and high blood pressure 細節題本題的信號詞是 “adolescents, unhealthy”。本題問肥胖的孩子和青少年身體更差，據報道，比如他們有哪些疾病。解題依據第二個小標題下第二句：Studies are reporting cholesterol levels and high blood pressure in obese children and adolescents。
9. by only 200 to 260 per day 細節題題干問減少多少卡路里能夠阻止大部分超重兒童增重。解題依據第三個小標題下第一段第二句：一些證據建議每天減少200至260的卡路里可以阻止重量獲取。
10. eating disorders 細節題作者在文章最后闡述了一些控制肥胖的技巧，其中第四項就是不要批評那些肥胖的孩子，這不但起不了幫助作用并且可能會增加兒童飲食紊亂的幾率。由此得出答案：eating disorders。 Part ⅢListening Comprehension

W: I’m sorry, but I’ll need it myself in a few minutes.
Q: What does the man ask the woman to do?
13. M: These watches aren’t made nowadays, are they?
W: No. If they were, they’d be too expensive for most people.
Q: What can you conclude about the conversation?
14. M: Hi, Susan. I hear that you walk all the way to the office these days.
W: Yes. I have found great pleasure in walking. That’s the type of exercise I enjoy very much.
Q: Why does the woman walk all the way to the office?

17. M: What’s the matter?

Conversation One
M: Do you think young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and that as a result they’ve lost respect for their parents and their elders generally?
W: I don’t thinks so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didn’t want to do. I was allowed to take up the career I wanted. I think I respect and love them more for this.
M: Are you quite independent of them now?
W: Yes. As soon as I left school and started my studies as a nurse I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know.
M: You seem very close to your parents.
W: I am. Many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents but I’m rather lucky because I get on very well with mine. What about you?
M: Well, we value family life very much in my country. I’m very fond of my family, but I don’t always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.
W: But they allow you to come to study in England on your own.
M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion! Your parents treat you as an adult; my parents treat me as a child.
W: As I said, I’m lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they just refuse to understand our generation.
