where to plant. He thought and thought. Finally, at night he planted the tree in his wood where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon

died. Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. \"What's the difference?\" the farmer said angrily. \"If I had planted it near the

第四部分 写作技能（计30分）

第一节 翻译语篇 阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。（10分）

From Shy Girl to Pop Star

For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, (66) she dared to sing in front to her class, and then for the whole school. (67)现在她不再害羞and loves singing in front of crowds.

I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, bu t now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” (68)However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. (69)Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”

What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “well,” she begins slowly, “You have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. (70)很多次我都想到了放弃but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.” 第二节 补全对话,根据上下文把对话补充完整。（ 10分）

B: Yes. (73)_______________________ A: Which bus should I take?
