71. 你或许对闰年耳熟能详，但你有听过闰秒吗？就像闰年，闰秒是为了弥补地球自转每年不尽相同而被加进日历的。然而，不像每四年便会给二月多一天这个行之数百年的惯例，闰秒是日历上相对较新的特色。闰秒是从 1972 年才开始实施，之后共有二十七个闰秒被加入时钟。这个额外的时间增补在六月三十或十二月三十一日。至于这些增秒为何如此不规律，那是因为潮汐、地震和气候变迁都会影响地球自转，并使计时产生区区几毫秒的误差。

Dear Mr Smith,

I recently participated in your course for training travel representatives. The course exceeded my expectations and proved extremely useful to me, so I want to take the opportunity to thank you personally.

I had attended training courses in other places but had been rather disappointed by them. But this course was very well thought out and presented, and the enthusiasm of the two tutors was infectious. I would single out Sue Harper's module on administration for special praise—the part on how to do reports and keep accurate computer records was first class.

As someone who had no relevant experience, I was rather nervous about the prospect of having to give presentations to new guests. But the tutors reassured me that I could do it and gave me a lot of personal attention to boost my confidence. Recording what I did in front of the other students was a great idea, and I also learnt a lot about body language and voice control from seeing and hearing myself on screen. I recall also doing some challenging role plays to simulate what can happen with difficult guests! At the time this seemed a bit like“acting”, but it too turned out to be a very useful skill.

I'm happy to say that I've now completed my first full summer working in a company in China and have every intention of repeating the experience next year. The job was as varied as I'd been led to expect and I found it really enjoyable to assist all the guests and answer all their queries. Everything I've learnt has been thoroughly useful, so thank you again for your excellent training programme.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

Section B (20 marks)

参考范文：

In the past, clear handwriting was essential, as it was necessary for school and university work, as well as for many job -related duties. Many people believe handwriting will no longer be useful in the future. Although computers are replacing handwriting in many areas, I still believe it is important that children learn to write legibly.

People often talk about a paperless society. This means that all communication is carried out by electronic means. If this ever truly comes to pass, there will be no need to write by hand. Today, university and high school assignments have to be typed, so certainly handwriting is less important than it was before. This has made written communication simpler as material can be reorganised and edited without being rewritten from scratch.

Although there will be less need for handwriting in the future, it is still an important skill for children to learn. Learning to write helps children learn to read, spell and punctuate. These are skills that computers can help with, but they still need input from the computer user. Furthermore, many schools and universities still require examinations to be handwritten, and this is likely to continue, as there is considerable concern about the possibility of cheating in assignments produced at home on computer.

In conclusion, although handwriting is less important than it was, it is still an important part of young people’s education. This is because it is part of the learning process, and because there are still areas where handwritten responses are necessary.
