PART FOUR WRITING

SECTOIN A

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

For many Canadians, family means a mothers, a father and one or more children. However, in 13% of Canadian families, there is only one parent. Some families include grandparents, cousins or other relatives. Sometimes adult children continue to live in the family home, rather than starting households of their own.

Marriage is usually a major celebration for Canadian families. Family members fro all generations gather to celebrate and honor the newlyweds (新婚夫妇). However, more and more couples today choose to live together instead of marrying. In most provinces this type of relationship is given some legal recognition. Throughout Canada, you can see 14% of all marriages and about 25% in Quebec. As in most Western countries, divorce is accepted as a way of ending an unhappy marriage. Divorce creates new types of families, such as stepfamilies and single – parent families. Most single – parent families are headed by the mother.

In many families, both parents work outside the home. Although in general women do more housework than men, some Canadian fathers help look after children and do housework. In families where both parents work full – time outside the home, children are cared for during the day by grandparents, neighbors, nannies (保姆) or at daycare centers.

Today, 12% of Canada’s population is over 65 and the proportion of old people is expected to increase in the 21 st century. Canadian old people receive government benefits. Some move to retirement communities in Canada or the southern United States, but most old people live in their own homes. These are middle – aged parents. They have children still at home and elderly parents who need their help.

SECTOIN B

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend – the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e – book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.

But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, electronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using any device with the Barnes & Noble e – book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e – book readers.

The Nook offers other features too. You read in black an white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device there’s a color touch screen. It allows you to flip (翻页) through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using ti so that you save power.

Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi – Fi (无线上网服务), arguably (可论证地) a big advance on previous e – book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e – books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.

But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money – loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job – loser for barns and Noble’s employees. According to Marina Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it might take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.
