In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is spontaneous and free in form. It bubbles with energy, 53 the moods, interests, and emotions of the people.

　　Part V Translation Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWERSHEET.

　　第 61 題簡答 The one thing all children have in common is their rights. Every child has the fight to survive and thrive, to be educated, to be free from violence and abuse, to participate and to be heard. These are innate human rights, as inalienable as those held by adults. But until 1989, these fights were not formally articulated in a legally binding instrument, nor were governments fully accountable to advance these rights for every child. This all changed 25 years ago, on Universal Children's Day, when the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It rapidly became the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history.

　　參考答案：所有兒童共同擁有的東西就是他們的權利。每個兒童都有權利生存、茁壯成長、接受教育、免受暴力和虐待以及參與并發(fā)表意見。這些都是固有的人權，就像成年人擁有的那些權利一樣不可剝奪。但直到 l989 年之前，這些權利沒有得到一項具有法律約束力的文書正式闡明，各國政府也不為促進每個兒童的這些權利充分問責。這一切在 25 年前的國際兒童日發(fā)生了變化，當時聯(lián)合國通過了《兒童權利公約》�！豆�約》迅速成為歷史上獲得最廣泛批準的人權條約。

　　參考答案：The Importance of Self-confidence Self-confidence is very important to our life.As a wise man once said，“If you have no confidence in yourself，you are twice defeated in the race of life.With confidence，you have won even before you have started.”

　　If you are full of self-confidence，your creativeness，your enthusiasm will all be aroused，and you will overcome difficulties.As a result，your dreams will come true.On the contrary，if you have no confidence in yourself， there is little possibility that you would ever achieve anything.Failure will be following you.But self-confidence comes only when you know yourself.You should know both your weaknesses and strengths.Only after this can you be well in doing great things.

　　Try something you’ve never done before.Just taking on a challenge，whether you succeed or not，can increase your confidence.In a word，self-confidence is greatly important to our success.
