Part A 参考答案
Dear editor,
I have been a devoted reader of your magazine Around the World ever since a friend recommended it do me three years ago. I enjoy reading particularly articles in your“Foreign Culture”series,which are both informative and entertaining. However,there is an error that I feel should not be ignored. In the article titled This Is Australia of the May 14th edition,the estimated economic cost caused by youth's crimes [这样的说明,要靠你自己联想和编写] is quoted as“$ 4 million”when it actually should be$ 4 billion.It might be only a typographic mistake,but it could nonetheless the misleading,especially to the serious readers who have a particular interest in the subject.
I hope your can check it as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
Part B 参考答案
Where Can I Sit Down with a Baby?
[启] As is vividly betrayed in the drawing above, a young man and a young lady are sitting calmly on the reserved seats for babies and their mothers while a mother holding a baby in her arm is standing beside the seats. The drawing exposes a prevailing phenomenon in China's public places, which makes every reader thinking about public morality and virtue.
[承] The implied meaning of the drawing is worth special concern. To begin with, good and polite manners should improve a lot in public places. Some of young people lack the necessary public awareness so that they disturb the normal order of public places. What's more, the traditional moral values should be enhanced. To respect the elderly and take care of the young is one of traditional virtues in China. [转折]However, some of young people are so selfish that they even neglect traditional virtues, which does no good to the healthy development of our society. In one word, we should make deep reflection on our own deeds.
[合] In my view, necessary measures should be immediately taken so as to create an ideal living environment. On the one hand, an education campaign should be launched to inform people of the acceptable and civilized manners in public places. On the other hand, “eight honors and eight disgraces”（八荣八耻）advanced in China should be publicized so as to enhance our sense of traditional virtues. Only in this way can we live in a harmonious society.
