Part A 模仿朗读
In the remote southwest corner of China a celebration is about to take place. Daipeople collect water for the most important festival of their year. The Dai callthemselves the people of the water. Yunnan's river valleys have been their home forover 2000 years. By bringing the river water to the temple, they honor the two thingsholiest to them, Buddhism and their home. The Dai give thanks for the rivers andfertile lands. Though to some, it might seem just an excuse for the biggest water fightof all time. Dai lives are changing as towns get bigger and modernised. But the WaterSplashing Festival is still celebrated by all.

M: Today on Viewpoints we’re going to discuss something that affects us all—themanners and behavior of today’s youth. Here with us in the studio is Monica Heller,a teacher, from East London. Monica, you’re fresh from the classroom, what areyour experiences?
W: Hello, John. Well, I happen to believe that most young people are well-behavedand polite, but we do tend to get confused with what they look like and thelanguage they use.
M: You mean they sound rude and look terrible but they’re all right really?
W: Not exactly. They look different because they have their own fashions andhairstyles, but perhaps more importantly they use different words and expressions.
M: Such as?
W: My pupils, for example, come out with such things as “All right, Miss, like whatwe’re doing today?” —which sounds very casual to us but they feel entirely naturalsaying it and I know they’re not being rude...
M: Now Monica is happy to answer some questions from the audience. Please.
M: Do you have a problem understanding the youth of today?
W: No, I think I understand them very well and I think they have to understand thatwe all need to be more sensitive to others. That includes young people talking to usin a way that shows respect for people, and that they realize that older people needto be spoken to in a different way from the way they speak to their friends. Also,why should they think it’s acceptable to wear torn, dirty clothes when those aroundthem are doing their best to look clean and tidy, probably with far less money?
M: Is wearing a particular style of clothes showing disrespect?
W: No, no, of course not. I believe that generations should respect each other andthat includes tolerating differences. I don’t expect my children to dress like me orsound like me—nor do they, I’m sure—but this doesn’t mean they don’t respect mefundamentally. Anyway, I have a feeling that the sort of clothes some of them wearshow how creative they are, even if they haven’t much to spend on clothes.
M: How do you see adults’ behavior?
W: Some adults should be ashamed of how they act in front of the youngergeneration. You know what I mean—getting drunk, swearing and so on.

Part C 短文复述
原文:
A man came home from work late again, tired and annoyed, to find his 5-year-old sonwaiting for him at the door. "Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?" theboy asked. "If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour." The man said impatiently.
"Oh," the little boy replied, "Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?" The father wasupset. "If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so youcan borrow some to buy a silly toy, then you march straight to your room and sleep.How selfish! I work hard hours everyday and don't have time for such childishgames." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour,the man had calmed down. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy withthat $10.00. The man knocked on his son’s room and the boy opened the door.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man. " Here's that$10.00 you asked for." "Oh, thank you, daddy," the boy said happily. Then, he pulledout some more folded bills from under his pillow and slowly counted them out .Theman, seeing this, started to get angry again. Looking up at the man, the boy saidjoyfully, "Daddy, with $20.00, can I buy an hour of your time?" For those working sohard for our living, let us not let time slip through our fingers without having spentsome quality time with those who really matter to us.
