我接觸過不少老人，其中有的是我的好朋友，只要一見面，就會(huì)天南地北，無所不談。從這些老人的談話中，我感到他們常常為“閑得無聊”而發(fā)愁。這些老人的空閑時(shí)間特別多，同外邊接觸的機(jī)會(huì)又比較少，常常會(huì)被忙碌的晚輩忘記。不少年輕人，在家中可以同朋友和同事們興致勃勃的談個(gè)不休，卻把自己的長輩丟在一邊；有時(shí)老人偶兒插上幾句，就會(huì)受到很不禮貌的責(zé)備。我們不理解老人喜歡家里熱鬧的心情，更不理解這種冷漠的態(tài)度會(huì)使老人多么傷心。
SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.
American is presently going through the beginning of a national debate over various components of its international role, for example the proposition that the United States is the only remaining superpower. That may be true in the military sense. On the other hand, the issues susceptible to solution by military action are in decline. In many other areas, the world is becoming much more evenly balanced. Indeed, we are now living in a world composed of six or seven major global players with comparable capacities to shape events outside the field of nuclear arms. In such an international order, there are only two roads to stability: one is hegemony based on one countrys dominance; the other is equilibrium, which is another way of describing the notorious balance of power. Unfortunately, too many Americans tend to reject both approaches. The American public seems determined to reject the role of global policeman which hegemony implies, and which runs counter to the moral convictions of the American people. But balance of power or equilibrium has also been historically rejected as a source of endless tensions. At crucial periods such as in deciding to enter the two world wars to preserve the global balance of power, Americans have been prepared to overcome their prejudice. In other words, American is in the process of learning —— and it is not quite there yet —— that the emerging world order will have to be based on some concept of equilibrium.
