　　排了近两个小时的队，玛丽终于把钱存进了海滨的一家银行。她走出银行，来到沙滩上，心理盘算着女儿教育的开销。她陷入深思，没有注意到天越来越暗。一只大海鸟俯冲下来在海滩上啄了个洞。狂风在海面上呼啸，把一棵树拔出地面。呼啸的海风和凶猛的海鸟要告诉她什么呢？女儿在国外能幸福生活吗？不能预见女儿在国外将怎样度过，她凝视这乌云，感到越来越担心。 答案：

　　Having queued for almost two hours and having had her money deposited in the bank near the beach，Mary walked out of the bank and went to sit on the beach，reckoning up in her mind the cost for her daughter's education. She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice it was getting dark and a large sea bird swooped down and pecked a hole in the sand. The wind was roaring across the sea，tearing a large tree off the ground. As she could not foresee what her daughter would go through in a foreign country，she stared at the dark clouds，feeling more and more worried.

　　China may include some traditional festivals as part of its official holidays，sources said. The Chinese government has formed a preliminary(初步的)plan on the new legal holiday arrangement and the plan will be released “in the near future”．After that，public opinion will be sought on the Internet.

　　As an ancient country with a civilized history of more than 5,000 years，some traditional festivals represent part of the China's cultural heritage. However，current legal holiday arrangements only include the Spring Festival，traditionally held in January or February. Last year，Cai Jiming，a Tsinghua University professor and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC中国人民政治协商会议)，proposed shortening the National Day and May Day holidays from three days to one day and distributing the days to celebrate four traditional festivals—the Dragon Boat Festival，Mid-Autumn Day，Tomb-Sweeping Day and New Year's Eve. This proposal

　　has caused a national concern since then and quite a few experts and scholars have voiced their opinions to support it.“ The new arrangement better respects people's right to rest，as there are now more holidays and they are spread through the year more reasonably，” said an official. 写作内容 1．以约30个词概括短文的要点； 2．然后以约120个词写一篇议论文，阐述你对“设定法定传统节日”的看法，并包括以下要点： (1)你认为是否应该把传统节日设定为法定节日？ (2)陈述你的理由。 写作要求 列举充分的理由支持你的论点。你可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文的句子。

　　答案：

　　As authorities advocate，some traditional festivals are likely to be established as national legal holidays，which can help to keep Chinese traditional culture and customs alive especially in a world of the increasing globalization.(34 words)

　　Personally，I agree to the proposal of making traditional festivals legal holidays. My reasons are as follows. Firstly，the legal holidays offer citizens good chances to relax themselves and get relieved from work pressure. Secondly，the holidays help to combine national culture and customs together as well as carry forward Chinese history and

　　culture. No doubt，maintaining our culture and traditions is absolutely necessary in today's growing multi-culture communication. Thirdly，the holiday will also help to spread Chinese culture all over the world，making more people outside know about our great history and splendid culture，which can quicken our steps toward a more powerful country.
