8　　翻译题二：反应在艺术和文学中的乡村生活理想是中国文明的重要特征。这在很大程度上归功于道家对自然的感情。传统中国画有两个最受青睐的主题，一是家庭生活的各种幸福场景，画中往往有老人在下棋饮茶，男人在耕耘收割，妇女在织布缝衣，小孩在户外玩耍。另一个则是乡村生活的种种乐趣，画有渔夫在湖上打渔，农夫在山上砍柴采药，或是书生坐在松树下吟诗作画。这两个主题可以分别代表儒家和道家的生活理想。　　翻译题三：中国将努力确保到2015年就业者接受过平均13.3年的教育。如果这一目标得以实现，今后大部分进入劳动力市场的人都需获得大学文凭。　　在未来几年，中国将着力增加职业学院的招生人数：除了关注高等教育外，还将寻找新的突破以确保教育制度更加公平。中国正在努力最佳地利用教育资源，这样农村和欠发达地区将获得更多的支持。　　教育部还决定改善欠发达地区学生的营养，并为外来务工人员的子女提供在城市接受教育的同等机会。参考答案作文部分：　　【学历歧视：参考范文】　　Inthemodernsociety,withcompetitionbecomesincreasinglyfierce,tofindajobistoodifficultfortheyounggeneration.Academicqualification,asajobastepping-stone,isanessentialfactorduringthejobhunting.　　Somepeoplethinkthatthehighlyeducatedmustbeabletofindagoodjob,becauseeducationcanprovethatapersonhasagoodcapacity.Therefore,itiscommonlybelievethatajobseekerwithamasterdegreemustbeeasiertofindapromisingjobthanaundergraduate.However,nowthecompanyinterviewersgenerallyprefertorequiredaevenhigheracademicqualification,likeadoctordegree.Otherwise,theapplicants,eventhoughheorshehastremendouspotential,willberefusedrelentlessly.　　AsfarasIamconcerned,educationshouldnotbethesinglestandardinaninterview.Asforthecompanies,itisnotnecessarilyagoodprincipleaswell.Nowthewholecommunityoftentalkaboutworkingabilityandefficiency.Forexample,somepeoplemayhavehighacademicqualification,butactuallyhisabilityisverylimited.Soboththeindividualandthecommunityoughttochangetheirattitudeonacademicqualification.Weshouldrealizethatitistheoperational　　【科技与学习：参考范文】　　Thepicturevividlydepictsthatateachingisaskingapupiltoanswerasimplemath-relatedquestion——what’stwoplustwo?Unfortunately,thechildcannotanswersuchaneasyquestionwithouttechhelp.Infact,thephenomenonconveyedinthepicturedoesnotsurpriseus,becauseasthescienceandtechnologydevelops,thetopicconcerningthesideeffectsoftechnologicaladvancementincreasinglyarousespeople’sattention.　　Undoubtedly,thedrawerofthepictureaimsatremindingusthatweshouldusetechnologyinaproperwayandnotbetootech-dependenttosolvethesimpleproblemindependently.Itiswellknownthatthankstothedevelopmentofhumancivilization,manyformerlyunimaginablethingscomeintoreality.But,whileenjoyingtheconvenienceproducedbytech,wemustalertitsharm.Beingover-addictedtotechnologywillcostourhealth,independence,wisdom，creativityandevenourabilitytolive.　　Weighingtheprosandconsofthetechnology,perhapsthebestpolicyistoapplyitproperly.Atthesametime,wemustavoiditsharmfulpart.Furthermore,youngpeopleshouldbeadvisedthatdependingtoomuch
