    尊老愛幼的優(yōu)良傳統(tǒng)在海外華人中一直保持著。不論是單個兒的華人家庭,還是華人集中居住的區(qū)域,人們都把尊敬老人,愛護(hù)幼小看作自己民族的美德,并希望它世世代代發(fā)揚下去。根據(jù)1982年新加坡對5538民老人的調(diào)查,有88%的老人與親人同??;1983年新加坡對3000民婦女的調(diào)查,97%認(rèn)為子女有責(zé)任奉養(yǎng)年老體弱的父母,89%反對子女將父母送老人院照顧。這很好地說明了“父母養(yǎng)育子女,子女孝敬父母”這一優(yōu)良傳統(tǒng)觀念在海外華人中的深遠(yuǎn)影響。
    SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
    Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
    As we drove to New Yorks tenement district my mind went back to the years when I had known Benny Cremona. He had a one-chair barbershop in the neighborhood, where I was born and brought up. In that brawling neighborhood, a tough tenement jungle, a cockpit of different nationalities and customs and feuds, Mr. Cremonas barbershop was an oasis of beauty and good will.   He scorned the usual barbershop trappings of those days: the racy calendars, the crime-and-sex gazettes. "The way Im working," he would say, "Im always looking down at heads. A mans got to have something to look up to, too." When we youngsters had our hair cut we gazed on reproductions of the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory, the Adoration of the Magi, Michelangelos David. We learned who Dante was, and Shakespeare, by hearing for the first time the splendid, gleaming lines of poetry.   Mr. Cremona was a round butter-ball of a man with an enormous, flowing black mustache, and he acted our everything he told us. He was versatile with his scissors. They might be a conductors baton, the brush between Rembrandts fingers, or —— as he pirouetted in a Shakespearean duel —— a rapier.
