SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese.
Gentlemen do not just prefer blondes, but lighter-skinned women in general, a study has suggested.
Scientists looking into attractiveness in men and women suggest that men from all races find fairer-skinned woman most alluring, while women are the polar opposite and favor darker, brooding men.
They said the attraction is driven by preferences based on moral assumptions. Men are subconsciously attracted to fairer-skinned icons because of the skin tone's association with innocence, purity, modesty, virginity, vulnerability and goodness. Women, on the other hand, pick men with darker complexions because these are associated with sex, virility, mystery, villainy and danger.
Academics at the University of Toronto in Canada say their study proves the fair maiden of myth has a basis in scientific reality. They studied more than 2,000 advertising photographs and found that the skin of white women was 15.2 per cent lighter than the skin of white males, and the skin of black women 11.1 per cent lighter than the skin of black men.

SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH
Directions: Translate the following text into English.
有些男人还在怀念昔日以男子为中心的年代。那时，他们下了班回家，热腾腾的晚餐巳摆好在桌上，妻子儿女围上来问寒问暖；家中大事小事多由自己作主，因为男人作为一家之主承担了全家经济生活的来源。妇女走出家门就业后，男人的供养职责相对减小，在家庭的地位也变得不像从前那么举足轻重了。夫妻双方都有职业，在社会服务并不发达的中国，繁重的家务事自然应落在夫妻二人身上。

听力原文：Interviewer: In the studio this week we have Anna Stephens who returned last July after a non-stop voyage round the world alone. Anna, welcome to the programme. Tell me, how did you get interested in sailing？
Anna: Well, although I was a teacher of sports in a school for a while, it wasn't until I started working for a travel agency that I first went sailing. A colleague invited me and I loved it straightaway. After that I went on several sailing holidays with friends in the Mediterranean.
Interviewer: So, where did you get the idea to sail round the world alone？
Anna: Well, I read a book, 'High Adventure' was the title, which was about a woman sailing alone, and it really impressed me. I suddenly knew what I wanted to do with my life. So I gave up my job and talked a friend into lending me his boat. It was a bit old and rusty, but basically fine. I then spent the next few months mending the boat.
Interviewer: Did you take the boat out to sea to test it？
Anna: Well, that was the problem -- I had planned to spend three weeks seeing how the boat performed at sea, but after six days I had to return because it got damaged in bad weather. That was good really because if I'd had three weeks of good weather, I wouldn't have realised what problems I needed to sort out.
Interviewer: What did people say when you had to turn back？
Anna: Oh, some of them thought this proved I wasn't ready for the trip. I would have preferred to carry on with my preparations without telling anybody, but because I relied on money from a number of local companies, they all had to be kept informed of my progress.
Interviewer: Right. Once you finally set out and you were out there alone, did you never feel lonely？
Anna: Well, yes I did, but that wasn't my main problem. The trip was ruined for me by the boat making such slow progress that I got bored. I wanted to be doing something all the time. The only time I really felt busy was in the Southern Ocean, where there were enormous storms and I had plenty to think about all the time.
Interviewer: Were the storms really frightening？
Anna: No, they were the really exciting part. My main difficulty was when I got back home and people didn't believe I'd really done it.
Interviewer: Why did that happen？
Anna: Well, as soon as I returned, I got on the phone to the World Sailing Club to say that I had successfully completed the trip and what did I have to do to get my certificate. They told me to fill in all the forms, etc. Then, on television, people began to say that it was strange although I claimed to have sailed around the world, I had not been in touch with any ships along the way. That's what started it. After that the newspapers were saying I hadn't made the trip at alii
Interviewer: So how did you manage to convince people？
Anna: Well, I showed the sailing club my diaries, which I'd been very careful to keep up-to-date throughout the trip, and they checked them and gave me a certificate. I even got an apology from the newspapers in the end.
Interviewer: And what will your next challenge be？
Anna: I haven't got any firm plans as yet, but rm writing a book about the trip.
Interviewer: Well, thank you, Anna. We look forward to reading all about it ...
