Passage 1
Our first deep companionship is found in family relationships. If we are 1 , we bond to a parent (if we are even more fortunate, we bond to both parents) and siblings (兄弟、姐妹). We may also have the opportunity to find loving relationships with family outside our 2 one – with and uncle or aunt, 3 , and cousins.
As deeply loving as any of these bonds may be, however, they generally do not 4 loneliness as effectively as marriage and 5 do, because most family relationships are time-bound. When we become adults, most of us spend much 6 time with our parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunts than we did as 7 . Indeed, the nature of the child-parent relationship is such that if it is healthy, we do not spend as much time with our parents when we grow up. Family relationships are limited by 8 for another reason – as we get older, our older relatives begin to die.
Of course, neither of these reasons 9 to siblings, and many people do develop ongoing loving relationships with a sibling. This is not the rule, however. Brothers and sisters have not been known for the closeness of their relationships – even when they love each other.
If we start out life with loving family relationships, our chances for happiness are incalculably increased. It is almost impossible to overstate the importance of those 10 . But as we get older, other relationships usually provide greater opportunities for intimacy because they are not time-bound, and these are relationships with peers (同等的人).

Passage 1
In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words 1 which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we 2 , that is to say, from

the 3 of our won family and from our familiar associates, and 4 we should know and use 5_

we could not read or write. They 6 the common things of life, and

are the stock in trade of all who 7 the language. Such words may be called “popular”, since they belong to the people 8 and are not the

exclusive 9 of a limited class. On the other hand, our language 10 a multitude of words which are comparatively 11 used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little 12 to use them at home or in the

market-place. Our 13 acquaintance with them comes not from our mother’s 14 or from

the talk of our schoolmates, 15 from books that we read, lectures that we 16 , or the more 17

conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular 18 in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual 19 of everyday life. Such words are called “learned” words, and the 20 between them and the “popular” words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.

Passage 2
The Chinese New Year is a big traditional holiday in Singapore. On its Eve, while many will 1 for the reunion dinner, others will head for the airport or train station to “flee” 2 such festivities.
With a 3 number of Singaporeans going on overseas tours during this time, the Chinese New Year holiday has in recent years become a 4 season for

travel agents, 5 it used to be a lull period for them.
Isn’t Chinese New Year the 6 important traditional festival for the Chinese? Well, for those who choose to 7 a flight, it means an opportunity to enjoy a holiday out of the country. The concern is, if even Chinese New Year can be 8 , what other traditional festivals cannot be disregarded? Why do we need to 9 traditional festival?
Firstly, they are inseparable from our ethnic identity. The Chinese, Malays and Indians all have their own traditional festivals 10 which they derive “a sense of belonging to a particular community”. So if any Chinese does not see himself 11 one, there is no need for him to celebrate any Chinese festivals. True, everyone has the right to 12 traditions. The problem is: You cannot deny your ethnic origins or change your skin color. We are 13 with a certain skin color which cannot be “bleached” – if one has a “yellow face” and yet refuse to 14 with the Chinese, who else can he or she identify with?
Secondly, the 15 spirit of the more than 2000-year-old Chinese New Year is closely intertwined with the traditional culture and values of the Chinese. 16 its core is the Confucian value of good interpersonal relationships. Traditional Chinese festivals 17 center on maintaining and improving human relations.
Reunion dinner helps to 18 family ties while the exchange of gifts and greetings enhance relations among friends. To skip the reunion dinner and stay 19 from Chinese New Year means losing many great opportunities to forge stronger kinship and friendship ties.
A tradition must be capable of being 20 down from one generation to another. Yet this does not mean traditions cannot be changed.
