Assuming that the sun will never rise before you, along with the coming of the third night, how will you spend these three short but precious days? Where will your eyes most probably rest? T2:Perhaps, I could best describe by imagining what I should most like to see if I regained sight for just three days. Moreover, while I am imagining, I suppose if I were you, how you would use your eyes if you had only three days to see. If the third dark night was coming, and the sun would never rise for you again, how would you spend the three precious days? What would you most likely keep your eyes on? 答案： Marking guide: Please check whether the information in the Chinese paragraph is included in the students translation. The students may use different words in their expressions.

If with the on-coming darkness of the third night you knew that the sun would never rise for you again, how would you spend those three precious intervening days? What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon?3、 Translation of the Passage Translate the following passage into English, working out the correct tense to use for each of the verbs. Write your translation on the Answer Sheet. 习惯平等有生以来第一次请家庭保姆，她手脚不停地忙着，我手足无措地闲着，觉得很不习惯。一位一直用着保姆的朋友开导说：一开始我也如此，慢慢就习惯了。便想起，有位一夜之间走红的“星”说：最初接受那么多的鲜花，那么多的喝彩，那么多的注视，那么多的崇拜，觉得很不习惯，现在习惯了。还想起，有位沦为乞丐的大学生说：一开始对人家鄙夷的不屑的目光很不习惯，后来也就习惯了。我想天啊，这样的习惯，还是让它永远不习惯着吧。人和人的关系，一开始都是平等的，所以对于崇拜、专断、尊贵、卑贱等不平等的关系，一开始会感觉不习惯，问题出在慢慢地、不知不觉地习惯了。因为一旦习惯了不平等，他对平等就再也不习惯了。 T1:For the first time I hired a baby-sitter in my life. She was doing the chores incessantly while I was too free to have no idea to do things, which I made me feel strange. A friend who has been hiring the baby-sitter told me “So did I at first；however, I get used to it gradually.” It reminds me of a superstar who got popular over one night. She said: “I felt very uncomfortable when I got so many flowers and applauses, so much concern and worship at first, but now, I was used to these.It also reminds me of a college student who had come down to begging. He said:” I was unused to the passerbys looking down upon me at first, but I was used to this later on.Oh my God! Such kind of habituation- I prefer that it could always be unaccustomed. The interpersonal relationship is equal at first, so we do not feel at ease for the unequal relationship of worship, arbitrariness, dignity and ignobleness. The key point is that, gradually, we are accustomed to it unconsciously. Once he is accustomed to this inequality, he is unaccustomed to such equality. T2:Used to be on an EqualityI was hiring a nanny for the first time in my life, whereas I was not used to the situation where she kept her busy , while I was all at the sea at leisure. A friend of mine, who had been using nannies, recommended me: With the same things as yours in the beginning, I get used to that slowly.And, I remembered that star who rose to fame overnight said: “I did not used to accepting so many fresh flowers, and so much applause, attention and admiration, but now I get used to that.”And then, I remembered that a graduate who reduced himself to a beggar said: “I did not use to being in sight with disdainful and scornful at first, but then I get used to that.”I consider God does not let it to used to and get used to forever. What a custom! A relation between people and people is an equality at first, so that they did not use to face the relation about admiration, ambition, respect, humbleness and etc., but then they would get used to that slowly and unconsciously that is an issue. Thus they are used to facing the inequality, and they will not get used to facing the equality any more.答案： Marking guide: Please make sure that all the information in the Chinese passage should be accurately and completely included in the English translation.
