【参考译文】

当发展中国家人们考虑移民时，他们通常关心的是到硅谷或发达国家的医院和大学里工作这样最美好最光明的前景。这些人正是英国、加拿大以及澳大利亚等国家试图通过对大学毕业生实施的优惠移民政策来吸引的人才。

诸多研究表明，发展中国家受过良好教育的人极有可能选择移居他国。2004年对印度家庭进行的一次广泛调查表明，移居国外的印度人中有约40％的人受过高中以上的教育，相比之下，在所有25岁以上的印度人中，这一比例仅为3.3%。这种“人才外流”现象长期困扰着贫穷国家的决策者。他们担心这会伤害本国经济的发展，使他们失去亟需的技术型人才，而这些人本应留在自己国家，在大学里任教，在医院里工作，以及研发新奇产品供工厂生产。

Section IV Writing 

Part A

【参考范文】

Dear Sir or Madame,

I am writing to make a complaint about the flaws in the electronic dictionary I bought from your online store the other day. 

I received the dictionary this morning. Unfortunately, there were several problems with it. Firstly, I noticed there were some scratches on its surface. In addition, what annoys me even more is that the pronunciation key on the keyboard does not work at all. I wondered if you had sent me a used one by mistake.

I strongly demand that you deal with my complaint seriously. Either a replacement or a refund will be acceptable to me. I am looking forward to your solution without delay. 

                                               Sincerely yours,

                                                         Zhang Wei

Part B

【参考范文】

This is a table showing the employee job satisfaction of three age groups in a company. As can be seen from the table, more than 80% of the staff aged 40 and under are dissatisfied with their jobs or unclear about their feelings, and 16.7% of them feel satisfied. The staff between the ages of 41 to 50 get the highest degree of dissatisfaction and none of them feel contented. In  comparison, the staff over 50 years old share the highest degree of satisfaction, with the percentage reaching up to 40%.   

From my perspective, the following reasons may explain the difference. Firstly, the people aged from 41 to 50 are under the greatest pressure from both work and family life, so they have higher expectations for the jobs, like more generous salaries and more opportunities for development. Besides, the people over 50 years old have basically achieved their career goals, therefore they may feel much more relaxed about their jobs and life.  

In a word, the people who are the most discontent with the work situation is the middle-age group, whose conditions deserve the attention from both the company and the whole society.
