MILESTONES
APPOINTED. MICHAEL NAZIR-ALI, 44, an assistant bishop in central London; as Bishop of Rochester, the first non-white diocesan bishop of the Church of England; in Kent. The general secretary of the church Missionary Society, Nazir-Ali, who was ordained in Karachi in 1976 and holds dual Pakistani and British citizenship, has written several books on Islamic-Christian relations. Of his appointment he said, "I think it reflects the way in which this country has changed."
RANSOMED. ALFREDO HARP HELU, 50. billionaire president and co-owner of one of Latin America's largest financial firms, Banamex-Accival; for about $30 million, paid by his family, after he was held 106 days by his kidnappers; in Mexico city. The release followed a dramatic TV appearance in which Harp's son.
accompanied by a family lawyer and a priest, accepted the kidnappers' terms unconditionally. At the family's request, the police did not intervene, giving rise to fears that the huge ransom will encourage more kidnappings and adding to concerns about Mexico's stability.
ARRESTED. BERNARD TAPIE. 51. flamboyant entrepreneur and one of France's fastest rising political stars; only 12 hours after being stripped of his parliamentary immunity: on fraud and tax-evasion charges involving the use of his yacht, Phocea, in Paris. The Marseilles Deputy and former Urban Affairs Minister was already under investigation in four other cases, which involved defamation, embezzlement, fraud and a bribery scandal connected to his Olympique de Marseilles soccer team. If convicted on the latest charges. Tapie risks heavy fines and up to five years in prison — yet his political support remains strong.
DIED. MA'MOUN EL-SHINNAWY, 80. master of the modern Arabic lyrical poetry who also wrote the words to more than 1 000 popular Egyptian songs; in Cairo. Originally a journalist noted for has lancing wit. El-Shinawy co-founded a political-humor magazine in 1950 called World and a Half. which was closed down during the 1952 revolution that brought Gamal Abdel Nasser to power. In the '60s El-Shinnawy penned the romantic verse that would bring him renown throughout the Arab world.
DIED. JOAN HASLIP, 82. popular biographer of such historical figures as France's Marie Antoinette and Emperor Maximilian of Mexico; in Bellosguardo, Italy. The British-born Haslip, who spent much of her life in Italy- made a precocious entrance into the world of letters, publishing two novels by the time she was 20. But after being called a "pretty, witty spendthrift writer" by V.S. Pritchett she turned to biography because she was "determined to be taken seriously". Critical and commercial success greeted her 1971 book on Maximilian. Imperial Adventurer, which became a best seller. Marie Antoinette • her 1987 portrait of the guillotined queen, was translated into 10 languages.

近期報紙,對國外名片和請柬的議論頗多,于是想起客居巴黎時經常見到的法國人手中的名片和請柬,隨筆記下來,似乎不無借鑒之處。
在巴黎,名目繁多的酒會,冷餐會是廣交朋友的好機會。在這種場合陌生人相識,如果是亞洲人,他們往往開口之前先畢恭畢敬地用雙手把自己的名片呈遞給對方,這好像是不可缺少的禮節。然而,法國人一般卻都不大主動遞送名片,雙方見面寒暄幾句,甚至海闊天空地聊一番也就各自走開,只有當雙方談話投機,希望繼續交往時,才會主動掏出名片。二話不說先遞名片反倒有些勉強。
法國人的名片講究樸素大方,印制精美,但很少有鑲金邊的、閃光多色的或帶香味的。名片上的字體纖細秀麗,本人的名字也不過分突出,整張紙片上空白很大,毫無擁擠不堪的感覺。

Four months before election day, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters and reviewed an oversize calendar that mark the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign. It was the last Saturday in June and at ten o'clock in the morning the rest of the office was practically deserted. Even so, the men kept the door shut and the drapes carefully drawn. The three principals and their two deputies had come from around the country for a critical meeting. Their aim was to devise a strategy that would guarantee Ronald Reagan's resounding reelection to a second term in the White House.
It should have been easy. These were battle-tested veterans with long ties to Reagan and even longer ones to the Republican party, men who understood presidential politics as well as any in the country. The backdrop of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with: America was at peace, and the nation's economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession. Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed, with plenty of money for a top-flight staff, travel, and television commercials. And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills. Reagan has succeeded more than any president since John F. Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America — a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller federal government.
PART V WRITING (60 MIN)
On a Chinese college campus, usually several college students share a dormitory. Unfortunately some college students do not pay enough attention to living in a shared environment. For instance, they may ignore the sanitation of their dormitory or they may suddenly start to play music while others are sound asleep. Hence the idea of making dormitory policies to curb these indecencies has become popular on campus.
You are in favor of this idea and have therefore decided to write to your university campus radio a passage entitled:
IN SUPPORT OF DORMITORY POLICIES

Section A
In Paris,a variety of drinking and buffet parties offer a good opportunity for making friends.On such occasion,strangers meet to know each other.If they are Asians,they,usually respectfully with two hands,present their calling cards to the other person before they speak,which seems to be an indispensable formality.However,Frenchmen usually do not present their cards initially.When they meet,they greet each other or even chat zealously about one topic and then excuse themselves.Only when they take interest in each other and hope to keep in further contact,will they exchange calling cards.It seems unnatural for them to present their calling cards before they speak to each other.

競選本應是容易的。這些人都是跟隨里根多年,而跟隨共和黨更久的久經沙場的老手。他們熟知總統的競選政治策略,不亞于任何人。競選的形勢非常有利,有許多好消息可以利用:美國國道太平,國內經濟——競選的關鍵因素——-在經歷了衰退后已開始強力回升。而且,競選經費非常充足,有足夠的錢組成一流的競選班子,支付巡回演說和電視宣傳的費用。最重要的是,他們的候選人是羅納德·里根。他是位極具個人魅力且交際本領極強的總統。自肯尼迪以后,沒有任何一位總統能像里根這樣提出更為廣闊的國家前景:美國將成為一個軍事力量得以恢復、個人創造力得以發揮、聯邦政府更為精簡的國家。
PART V
In Support of Dormitory Policies
In recent years, there arises a bad tendency on Chinese college campus. Some students ignore the sanitation and quiet environment of their dormitory. Many students are disturbed and annoyed by this. Due to such bad results, there is an upsurge of idea of making dormitory policies to curb these indecencies. This idea will be welcomed because it is for the sake of our health and the satisfactory study environment.
To make such policies is very important to maintaining our health. Frankly speaking, the dormitory on campus is a little bit small for seven or eight students. After one night's sleep, the air in the dormitory is very bad, especially in winter. Anyone who likes cleanness will not want to go back to his dormitory. If such a condition lasts, especially in summer, many kinds of disease will appear. Can we imagine a student always with illness will continue his studies or study well? Of course not. At this point, all of us should pay enough attention to the sanitation in order to complete our college studies and get good marks.
To make such policies is indispensable to create a peaceful study environment. Dormitories are for rest and sometimes for studies. When we come to our college, our primary purpose is to gain more knowledge to equip ourselves. However, some freshmen are disappointed at the environment of the dormitories, ignoring others, some students will play music or listen to music at any time, even at night. This seriously disturbs others. The result is that they cannot concentrate on their studies or feel sleepy. Music should not be prevented for young people, it should be listened to at proper time, considering the interest of other people.
For the sake of student's health and creating a satisfying environment for studies, some policies should be made to ensure their college studies. I believe such policies must be in everyone's favor.
