PART FOUR　 WRITING

SECTION A

　　　　 Directions: Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage．

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．

　　　　 As a parent you may realize the importance education has in our lives, however, your child hates listening to any of your arguments, thoughts and ideas．A student uninterested in education will miss college lectures and perform extremely poorly in assessment tests．In the worst cases, students may stop attending the school or college and sit at home without any concern for career, education and life．In order to encourage the students back to their college life and career, parents should first find out what causes the lack of motivation in students．

　　　　 Low self-respect in students forces them to give up challenges．Even if these students try and complete some tasks, they’re clouded by many negative thinking patterns that block the flow of confidence in their personalities．

　　　　 Lack of love at home can also result in the lack of motivation in students．If the parents are away from the kids or students and they’re unaware of what their kid is doing in school, then the child feels neglected and steps back from taking responsibilities and challenges．

　　　　 Constant poor performance lowers the self-confidence of the student and the student will feel lost in the crowd of brilliant students．Such academic pressures can make students lose their motivation．

　　　　 Nothing can be a better motivation for students than their teachers and parents．Schools should organize motivation activities for students, like games, sports and competitions, which are important for the whole personality development of the students．Involve them in some activities like dancing, music etc．that they are interested in, so that they can learn new hobbies and increase their confidence．You should stop ignoring your child’s studies and do understand his need to be heard．In short, lack of motivation in students can be completely reduced if the parents and teachers understand the kid and support him / her to break any of his / her negative patterns of thought．

SECTION 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．

　　　　 People working in places where large quantities of chemicals are involved, are more likely to suffer from chemical burns．Other incidents may occur at home through accidental misuse of products such as those used for hair, nails, skin, etc．A chemical skin burn is usually caused by acids like battery acid, toilet bowel cleaner, etc．Alkalis(碱) like paint removers are also responsible for chemical burns, and oxidants(氧化剂) also cause chemical burns when they come into contact with skin．

　　　　 A chemical burn isn’t like an ordinary burn．No matter how harmless the burn is, it should be brought to a doctor’s attention．A chemical burn treatment has to be quick and isn’t something to be ignored as the burn may make the injury worse and cause undue damage to the skin．

　　　　 The first step to treat chemical burns is to remove the victim from the accident area and also get rid of any clothes that may come into contact with the chemical causing the burn．Take care not to come into contact with the chemical．

　　　　 Using large volumes of cool running water, wash the skin to get rid of the substance from the injured area．It is best to keep the injured area under cool, running water for about 20 minutes or more．

　　　　 Do not use ice-cold water as it may further damage the skin．Alternatively, it is best to apply the cold compress(敷布) wrapped in a soft cloth soaked in cold water．Using this method every one hour for the whole day proves beneficial for the chemical burn treatment．

　　　　 If you notice any sign of blisters(水泡) that has covered more than 3 inches in diameter of the skin, then it is time to call for immediate medical help．Any occurrence of unusual signs also requires medical help．

　　　　 In extreme cases, the blood pressure and the heart rate of the victim may be affected to a critical extent．So intravenous fluid is administered to normalize the disturbed functions of the body．Intravenous process may also be required to administer certain medicines so as to prevent any infection or to reduce pain．

　　　　 During the recuperation(康复) from the chemical burn, drinking plenty of water and fluids will help keep the body well hydrated．This helps a speedy recovery．

　　　　 Americans hope Two-Thousand-Two will be happier than Two-Thousand-One．New York suffered terrible losses in the terrorist attacks on September Eleventh．However, the city is continuing with its New Year's Eve traditions in Times Square for the ninety-seventh year．

　　　　 The tradition began in Nineteen-Oh-Four．That year, the owners of the building at Number One Times Square held a party on top of the building．Today, the New Year's Ball falls from the top of the same building．The ball contains thousands of pieces of lighted cut glass．It looks like burning stars as it falls through the darkness．When it reaches the ground, people in Times Square dance and sing．They throw tiny pieces of colorful paper into the air．Many people in the United States also watch this event on television．

　　　　 Other cities also have New Year celebrations．For example, Chicago has a fireworks show．The fireworks are launched from the Navy Pier, a land area that extends into Lake Michigan．Some people like to watch the fireworks from a boat on the lake．The boat serves a special meal on New Year's Eve．People drink a special wine called Champagne to celebrate the clock striking midnight．

　　　　 Many young people in Chicago celebrate New Year's Eve at the Lincoln Park Zoo．Children wear funny hats as they wish the animals a good New Year．

　　　　 Many other Americans celebrate New Year's Eve with parties at home．Or they celebrate at public eating and drinking places．These events are usually noisy．People shout and sing．They often blow on small noise-makers when the New Year arrives at midnight．They kiss their husband or wife or the person they are with．They dance to broadcast music, records or live bands．

　　　　 Some people drink too much alcohol at New Year's Eve celebrations．This can lead to tragic results if a person drinks too much and then drives a car．The National Safety Council says hundreds of people die in road accidents during the holiday．

　　　　 In recent years, the danger of accidents has resulted in a new tradition called the "designated driver．" One person among a group of friends drinks little or no alcohol during New Year's Eve celebrations．Then this designated driver can safely drive the other people home．Many American cities also offer free taxi service on New Year's Eve to take people home safely．

　　　　 Other Americans observe the coming of the New Year at events without alcohol．More than two-hundred American cities hold these First Night celebrations．Artists in Boston, Massachusetts, started the tradition of First Night celebrations in Nineteen-Seventy-Six．They wanted to observe the coming of a New Year．But they did not want to hold noisy drinking parties．So they organized music, art and other events to observe the holiday．
