Features of the mouth pars are very helpful in classifying the many kinds of insects. A majority of insects have biting mouth parts or mandibles as in grasshoppers and beetles. Behind the mandibles are the maxillae which serve to direct food into the mouth between the jaws. A labrum above and a labium below are similar to an upper and lower lip. In insects with sucking mouth parts, the mandibles, mandibles, maxillae, labrum, and labium are modified to provide a tube through which liquid can be drawn. In a butterfly or moth the coiled drinking tube is called the proboscis. Composed chiefly of modified maxillae fitted together, the proboscis can be extended to reach nectar deep in a flower. In a mosquito or an aphid, mandibles and maxillae are modified to sharp styles with which the insect can drill through surfaces to reach juice. In a housefly, the expanding labium forms a sponge-like mouth pad used to stamp over the surface of food.

There are two schools of thought on setting a mandatory curriculum for high school students. One group, which is composed primarily of parents and teachers, feels that students of high school age are incapable of knowing what they want to do with their lives and therefore of choosing their own subjects to study. They claim that adults should set the subjects to be studied due to their experience and knowledge. This group has proposed that high schools be changed to five-year program, one year being devoted entirely to mathematics and computers as those subjects are critical to a persons success these days. The second group is composed of students. Most students of high school age consider themselves adults, and feel capable of choosing their own subjects. They state that they are concerned that a standard curriculum would hurt the individuality of the students, and turn all students into scientists, rather than into humanists. The members of this group are adamantly opposed to changing the current three-year term of high school to a five-year term, stating that most students do not make the best use of their time in high school as it is now. This groups members claim that the best experience for students would be to go on to college, to get away from home, and to be able to choose their own subjects to study. The National Union of Educators has invited both groups to address its annual convention this summer. The chairwoman of NUE has also invited three "neutral" parties to speak. One of those parties is the Dean or Education of a small, Latin American country that has throughout its history allowed high school students to pick their own subjects to study. He will be discussing the follow-up surveys his students have participated in and show the results if giving the students such freedom of choice. A second "neutral" party is students unless they had a certain curriculum, which would take five full years to complete and which emphasized. mathematics.

  SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

  Translate the following text into English.

  完全入了冬天状态;山峦看见雪的日子多了。风也吹得厉害。但是大概说来,初冬得野景非常绕于趣味。霜的苍白比之雪更多浓意而带哀趣。与此相对的,是霜解后土色的深浓,比之初夏雨霁后土色还要潮湿。还有成了乾肤肤的绿苔沾润了霜水后照着朝阳的时候,大地色彩之美真的到了绝顶。这时候的绿苔比之什么绿还要鲜艳而有生气,恰象敲碎了的绿玉抛弃在那里一样。又好像看了印象派的画布一样。我在孤寂的冬天幻想中,能够见到这样美丽的景色,真是设想不到的。
