2 . Just then, Senora Ines arrived and asked Rosaura if she wouldn't mind helping serve out the hot dogs, as she knew the house so much better than the others.

“See?” said Rosaura to the girl with a bow, and when no one was looking she kicked her in the shin (胫骨).

Apart from the girl with a bow, all the others were delightful. The one she liked best was Luciana, with her golden birthday crown, and then the boys. Rosaura won the sack race, and nobody managed to catch her when they played tag. When they split into two teams to play charades, all the boys wanted her for their side. Rosaura felt she had never been so happy in her life.

The best came after Luciana blew out the candles. First the cake. Senora Ines had asked her to help pass the cake around, and Rosaura had enjoyed the task very much because everyone called out to her, shouting ^“Me, me!” Rosaura remembered a story in which there was a queen who had the power of life or death over her subjects. She had always loved that, having the power of life or death. To Luciana and the boys she gave the largest pieces_，and to the girl with a bow she gave a piece so thin one could see through it.

After the cake came the magician. A true magician, he could untie handkerchiefs by blowing on them and make a chain with links that had no openings. He could guess what cards were pulled out from a pack and a monkey was his assistant. He called the monkey "partner".

The final trick was wonderful. One of the children had to hold the monkey in his arms and the magician said he would make the monkey disappear.

Rosaura thought that this was truly the most amusing party in the whole world.

9 . In the early decades of the People’s Republic of China founded in 1949, due to the underdeveloped transportation and communication system, it was hard for people living and working far away from their hometown to visit their families or stay in touch regularly. So to enable people to get together with their near and dear ones at least once a year,     1    .

It was decided that every year, a married couple could have family leave for 30 days to see each other     2    ; if they lived together, they could have 20 days to visit their parents every four years.     3    . A regulation was issued in 1958 and the system was improved through more regulation in the early 1980s.

However, nowadays, thanks to the rapid development of transport and communication means, it’s much easier for people to either contact their dear ones frequently or visit them,     4    . Besides, as the family leave scheme covers only those who work in government departments and state-owned enterprises, it is increasingly being regarded as an outdated practice and a privilege enjoyed by a small group of people.

    5    . While this is backed by those who don’t have family leave, it is strongly opposed by those who do. Also, some say that the issue is not whether family leave should be canceled; instead China’s current holiday and leave system should be reformed in entirely.

A．they choose to live together

B．if they lived in different places

C．the family leave was introduced

D．no matter how far away they are

E．Single people could enjoy 20 days’ leave annually to visit their parents

F．There are suggestions that the system should be canceled to keep up with the times

G．For employees with children regular use of family leave was to increase life satisfaction.
