Dear Mr．Zhang,
We have held a discussion about whether it is good or not for a top student to share a desk with a slower student．
阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的要求答题。
[1]We are told breakfast is the most important meal of the day，and dinner the most enjoyable．It is an occasion to socialize and spend time with the family．But what about lunch?
[2]In today's fast-paced society，few people take time to enjoy this midday meal．Most of us just rush right through it．We grab a quick salad，or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers．Sometimes，if there is a deadline around the corner，we just ．
[3]The development of technology hasn't done our eating habits much good either．We are constantly troubled by e-mail，social media，and 24-hour news．Even When we do sit down for lunch，we are more connected to our hand-held electronic devices than ourselves．
[4]Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems，and many developed countries have put in place labor laws specifically regarding the lunch break．These regulations give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift，but it's up to them whether they do so or not．
[5]Frank Partnoy，a former Wall Street trader，says that employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch．This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both individuals and society．Writing in The Guardian，Partnoy says that one obvious reason to take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some perspective．A break from work allows us to think strategically and outside the box．It also puts our daily tasks into a broader context．If we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues，we are more likely to slow down，something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and over-packed fast food chain．
[6]Despite these benefits，some employees might still be unwilling to take time off for lunch．Partnoy's suggestion? Make skipping lunch difficult：Employers could ask workers to fill out a form stating their reasons for skipping the meal．

5.Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese．
All parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life，but any parent can tell you that it’s hard to let go of your children．That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking．Years of experience means that parents often do know best，but on the other hand，the young，being less bound by tradition，are often more creative，more able to find new solutions to old problems．Revolutions are led by the young．
Good teachers make the growth of critical （批判性的） thinking easier in their students，only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers’ basic beliefs．Schools encourage parents to become involved，but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used．Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process．And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government．The rebellions （叛逆的）young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development．They are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands，but their voices must be heard．
Good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities．Indeed，sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting，just because it is not accepted by authority．Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts，know as much as possible about he lives of their children，provide a good example，encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don’t follow what is expected of them．But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go．
