　　A： Study the following table carefully and write an essay of at least 150 words. B： Your essay must be written on Answer Sheet？ C： Your essay should meet the requirements below. 1. Changes in peoples daily expenses in the past five years 2. Give possible reasons for the changes. 3. Draw my own conclusions Item Year 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 Food 65% 60% 48% 42% 35% Clothing 8% 9% 12% 15% 17% Recreation 3% 5% 7% 8% 10% Others 24% 26% 33% 36% 38% Total 100% 100% 100% 100% 100%

　　In the past five years， there have been great changes in peoples daily expenses in XX city. According to the figures given in the table， the amount of money spent on food decreased gradually， accounting for 35 per cent in 1998. However， there was a rapid increase in clothing expenses， which made up 17% in 1998. In addition， the table shows an upward tendency in recreation expenses. The same was the case with other expenses.

　　What caused these remarkable changes？ In my opinion， there are at least three good reasons. To begin with， with the rapid development of agriculture in China， the output of grain， fruit，

　　vegetables， and milk has sharply increased， which contributes to the decline in their prices. Secondly， the family incomes of people both in the city and in the country have greatly risen so that people now can afford expensive clothing and some of them even want to dress in the latest fashion. Finally， as the living conditions improve， the demand for a variety of recreations is growing steadily， too.

　　In short， with the incomes rising continuously， people are no longer reconciled to living a simple， monotonous life. They are eager to make their life interesting and exciting. Therefore， I am sure that people will spend more money on clothing and recreations. （215 words）

　　Directions： Migrant workers （ 外地民工） have made a great contribution to be prosperity of cities. In this part， you are to write within 10 minutes a composition of no less than 150 words about “The Role of Migrant Workers”。 You can agree and or disagree， completely or partially to above statement. But no matter which position you take， you should give sound supporting reasons.

　　The role of Migrant Workers

　　As is known to all， migrant workers have made a great contribution to the prosperity of cities. They are an indispensable part of our workforce. Most of them work on construction sites. There is no doubt that without migrant workers many of the construction projects would have to be held up for lack of manpower. In addition， a large number of migrant workers is a factor which stimulates the consumption of food and daily items. This helps to develop food industry and service trades in cities. All these are positive aspects of migrant workers in cities.

　　However， as a popular saying goes， “Everything was two sides”。 The same is the case with migrant workers. First， they have trouble getting their children into child care centers and schools because they are unregistered residents in the city. As you know， illiterate people， who are usually ignorant of laws， tend to make trouble concerning law and order. Second， most of the migrant workers swarm into big cities just to make money. Being ignorant and incompetent， some of them would stop at nothing to get what they want. Therefore， they are a potential threat to the peace and stability of the society.

　　In my opinion， in the appraisal of migrant workers， it is one-sided to affirm everything or to negate everything. We should appreciate the great contribution made by them， and at the same time pay enough attention to the problems caused by them. （240 words）
