  Paper Two

  Part IV Reading and Answering Questions (25 minutes, 10 points)

  There is a difference between the state and the law, and I want to describe how, in one crucial sense, family law has" left us alone" too much in the last generation. Family law can regulate family life by answering two very different questions: (1) Should the law define the kinds of relationship and moral commitments that qualify to be protected as "families"? (2) Should the state be allowed to intervene in ongoing family life?

  Recent family law has been saying no to the first question and yes to the second. Thus the trend in most countries today is toward letting people decide for themselves how and when to form and dissolve marriages and child-care ties. The law imposes few moral commitments on these laissez-faire relationships, but then it encourages broad state intrusion when trying to bandage the wounds among the personal causalities within the family anarchy it has created. By giving higher priority to personal convenience than to family obligation, this legal approach undermines family member's entire sense of commitment and belonging to each other.

  As a result, we are seeing more single parents than ever before, more illegitimacy, more unmarried cohabitation, and fewer parents really committed to their children. Moreover, many family members now believe their most basic right is to be left alone not left alone by the state, but by each other, even in the family. Indeed, many are quite willing to invoke state power to protect themselves from other family members.

  Questions :

  What role should the family law play in protecting the family institution? Is the writer satisfied with the status quo of the family institution? Why or why not?

  Part V Translation ( 30 minutes, 20 points)

  Section A (15 minutes, 10 points)

  一个人的生命究竟有多大意义,这有什么标准可以衡量吗?提出一个绝对的标准当然很困难;但是,大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真,看他对待劳动、工作等等的态度如何,也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。

  古来一切有成就的人,都很严肃地对待自己的生命,当他活着一天,总要尽量多劳动、多工作、多学习,不肯虚度年华,不让时间白白地浪费掉。我国历代的劳动人民及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。

  Section B (15 minutes, 10 points)

  Directions: Put the following into English. Write your English version in the proper space on Answer Sheet II.

  For people who are fascinated with the lives of public figures there are some forms of media devoted exclusively to this topic. They can satisfy their curiosity by buying fan magazines and watching TV shows devoted to entertainment news. The general media should present all types of information because people have different interests. Furthermore, the practice of dwelling on the private lives of celebrities can lead people to pay more attention to these matters than they otherwise would. Perhaps most importantly, the media should respect the privacy of every individual, including public figures. They may have chosen to be in the public eye, but that does not give the public the right to know everything about them. Moreover, many stories about celebrities are untrue; they are only gossip reported to increase sales of magazines and other media. They are unfair to the famous and mislead the public.

  For all of these reasons, I believe that the media should pay more attention to matters other than the private lives of public figures. In this way, they can appeal to a wider audience and encourage people to develop other interests.
