(50%) 1 Winners do not play “helpless”, nor do they play the blaming game. Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives. They do not give others a false authority over them. Winners are their own bosses and know it. A winners timing is right. Winners respond appropriately to the situation. Their responses are related to the message sent and preserve the significance, worth, well-being, and dignity of the people involved. Winners know that for everything there is a season and for every activity a time. 2 I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free. I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name, and that the individuals highest fulfillment, greatest happiness and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with His will.

He had just graduated from college as a human service major and seemed to have a bright future when his illness was discovered. About a year and a half ago, Jim developed a lump on his forehead and underwent surgery to have it removed. At that time, his doctors believed that it was not a cancer. Later, more tumors appeared, and more surgery followed. Several months ago, Jim found out that the tumors had spread throughout his body and that even with treatment, he would have a short life. Since that time he has steadily grown weaker and has been able to do less and less; yet he has shown remarkable courage in the way he has faced this loss and his dying. 二、 Translate the following Chinese paragraphs into English: (50%) 1. 吉姆一直不喜欢医院，所以他宁愿留在家里，留在更具人情味儿的环境里。只要 身体状况允许，他就广泛地读书，一如既往地在日记里写下他对生与死的想法和 感受。和朋友在一起时，他弹吉它，还唱他自己写的歌。他从不回避将不久于人 世这个事实，但对生活、对周围事物的热忱却一如既往。 2. 显然，远离城市的压力和污染，洁净的山区空气，艰苦的日常劳作，有节制的 饮食，良好的遗传基因，以及永葆青春的生活态度，所有这些都有助于这些人的 健康和长寿。 3. 政务、法庭、商务、银行等等，曾一直是男人的活动领域，真正从事实业的社会机构， 也是男人的活动范围。20 世纪初，妇女开始对男女职责的分配提出质疑。她们组成了 社会团体，开始要求拥有选举投票权。她们开始进入商界和知识职业界。男人将这场运 动的女性先驱视为男子气概十足的女性。 4. 在过去的几个月中，吉姆以实际行动向我展示了人的这种长期不断地做出决策的能力， 特别是在极端困难的情况下做出决策的能力。自从得知自己的病情以来，吉姆做出了许 许多多关键性的决定。由于他喜欢与大学的人接触，他决定继续在大学选一门课。他在 一个船坞打工来养活自己。他知道他的病
