1.F. Translate the following into EnglishRock music began in America in the late 1950' s. It was not only a new musical form, but a debating forum for the American youth to express their ideas of the world and life. In this forum, the stars sang out the attitudes of the youth towards civil rights, war arid peace, the disaffection of their society, and a range of emotions between love and hate. All in all, in this forum, the American youth redefined the beliefs and feelings of their society. The typical representatives of the early rock music were Elvis Presley, singer and poet Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and so on. They were the culture heroes whom the young people worshipped.G. Write a short passageI agree that rock is the music of the teenage rebellion.First, rock music turns out to be a great attraction mainly to the teenagers rather than to the adults. The super rock star, Elvis Presley was praised and applauded by the younger generation, while he was criticized by editorials, banned by TV networks and refused by the older generation.Second, the rock music was adored and even worshiped mainly by the teenagers rather than by adults. Alice Cooper’s ending of his act by pretending to end his life with a guillotine was considered marvelous by a young girl dressed in black. Fourteen-year-old Mike Perlie went to attend the rock concert, while his parents didn't, who thought Alice Cooper was sick and find it hard to bear his singing.According to one national opinion poll conducted in 1972, more than 10% of high school boys and 20% of the girls regarded a super rock Star as their hero.2.F. The American young people in the 1960's belonged to a rebellious generation. They saw that America, the affluent society was full of poverty, inequality and hypocrisy. They didn't believe in this adult world which did not belong to them, and refused to follow its beliefs and values. Many young people took active part in the wars against poverty, against racial discrimination and against Vietnam War. Some young people even attempted to overthrow the establishment by force. While many other young people expressed their disaffection in a passive way, and they. used drugs, lived a parasitic life without taking any responsibility in society, or escaped to the unspoiled country to live a rather primitive communal life.G. The fourth choice for young people to make is to try to change the world gradually, one clod at a time.I agree with the author that this alternative lacks attraction at first glance. It promises no quick results and has to rely on the annoying and uncertain persuasion from agents and democratic decision making. It requires patience, which people are always short of. But in a particular time and place it does work. It is more likely to overcome some of the social problems than any other available choice.As we know, one has to lead a rather undignified life, if he makes the choice to drop out to live a parasitic life. It's no longer practical if one chooses to flee and to have a more primitive way of life. And those in favor of armed revolution are destined to feel disappointed whether they succeed or not. Since revolution can not eventually bring forth a bright future they dreamed of.What I disagree with the author is that in a particular time and place —— only an armed revolution can work which has been evidenced by the May-Forth Movement against the feudal system in the 1920s. And it's also evidenced by the Anti-Japanese War in the 1940s.3.F. Mathilda had been; ill for, three days, Her mother gave her some medicine, but it did no good, so a doctor had to be sent for. Because there had. been, a number of cages of diphtheria in the school to which Mathilda went and two children died of it, the doctor wanted to look her throat over first after he arrived at the Olson's. She wouldn't open her mouth no matter how he coaxed her, then the doctor had to get the tongue depressor into her mouth, but Mathilda should reduced it to splinters. To protect Mathilda herself and other children, the doctor must find out whether she had caught diphtheria, so that he. could, give her timely treatment. Then he told Mathilda's father to hold both her wrists while he himself opened her mouth up with effort and found that she did catch diphtheria. The story reminds us of such a thing: some of the things in life can't be done by one's willingness and in some cases, using certain force seems essential.G. The doctor thought the symptom of the girl was like that of diphtheria, and it happened that there were a number of cases of diphtheria in the school where the girl was in. So the doctor tried to coax to open her mouth. He took many ways, e.g., telling her terrible result of diphtheria, requiring her to go to hospital, which she was very afraid of etc, but she did not cooperate with him. Finally, his social responsibility, his authority as a doctor and the strategy to his respect forced him to open her mouth to see her thro。
