　　Just like the traditional ones，these capsules also have two pieces and they offer several benefits over the traditional soft surface capsules.The benefits are discussed below：

　　Production

　　benefits.The

　　process

　　of manufacturing (制造) of these hard surface capsules is simple.Another significant benefit of these capsules is that they are manufactured into standard sizes which are scientifically designed and ruled.This makes the packaging process easy.Besides，the liquid filling of the capsules totally avoids the risk of dust and chemical outflow，which means capsules of this kind are easy to handle and environmentally friendly.

　　Drug formulation (配方) benefits.The capsules that have liquid contain less number of excipients(賦形劑) as compared to other Healthcare Products.It is better for the users too as the liquid filling makes the process of absorbing easy and quick.These capsules are a kind of improvement for formulations that can hardly be mixed in the water.There are many highly powerful chemicals in the formulation.With liquid filling the capsules could last for a long time.Additionally，there is more uniformity (均勻性)in content filling.Liquid filling is best suited for making capsules that have formulations which should be kept away from being damp.

　　“To Anna and James: have a fantastic night and wonderful future together.You put a smile on a lot of people's faces tonight，” he added.

　　Ⅱ.根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

　　There are many problems in the world everywhere we go.There is a big problem in schools，especially in high schools.__9__ Teens have figured that it is okay to cheat because everyone does it.Dishonesty has become a big factor in today's society.Cheating affects everyone in some way.

　　Cheating occurs every day in every school.Cheating occurs even in the nicest schools，including private schools.This usually occurs when someone does not study for a test or just does not feel like thinking.__10__

　　There is a wide range of cheating that can go on in schools.It can be as simple as copying one word，or copying the whole test.Whatever the extent of the cheating，that does not make it right.In today's society，teens just assume that cheating is an acceptable way of getting through test.__11__

　　Cheating affects me because when I study very hard for a test，someone else may do better than me because of their cheating.This may ruin the curve for the class.__12__ With that，sometimes I feel taken advantage of when someone glances over at my paper.I don't always cover it up，but sometimes I do.

　　This effects my motivation to learn because I figure that studying is not worth it anymore if everyone is cheating and I might as well not study as hard.This can be frustrating.Cheating widely affects others too.__13__ It ruins the learning environment in the classroom.

　　In conclusion，no matter what the motivation is，it is wrong to cheat.But today，so many do it that teachers have to watch even more carefully.

　　What shall we do about it？We have to face the problem of cheating.If everyone would guard themselves against cheaters，they might give it up.

　　A．They don't care even though they know the consequences.

　　B．It seems as if teachers don't care，and you can get away with it.

　　C．Cheating is a big problem and a headache for teachers to watch out for.

　　D．Cheating only sends a negative message to everyone.

　　E．Also，one might do it because he knows he can get away with it.

　　F．I used to get mad at cheaters for not playing fair，but I think it more fun to battle with them.

　　G．And that is not fair because I could have got a better score.

　　答案　

　　9．C　[文中的“a big problem in schools，especially in high schools”與C項中的“a big problem”“a headache”相呼應。]

　　10．E　[文中的“This usually occurs when someone does not study for a test or just does not feel like thinking”說明了作弊的一些原因，E項說明了作弊的另外的原因，故選E項。]

　　11．A　[文中提到當學生作弊時，他們只是考慮能夠通過考試，與選項A“他們即使知道后果，也毫不在乎”一致。]

　　12．G　[文中提到別的同學可能會由于作弊而得到更高的分，故可推測下文應為：這是不公平的，因為自己努力學習本可以得到比作弊者更高的分數的，故G項符合語境。]

　　13．D　[由本段內容可D項。]

　　【參考范文】

　　Dear__Mike，

　　I'm__very__glad__to__have__received__the__letter__you__sent__me__last__week.I have been thinking about the question you asked me.From my point of view，you can choose to come to China after finishing your studies.

　　For one reason，China's development over the past 30 years offers quantities of job opportunities for the young.What's more，what you are studying is badly needed in China nowadays.In fact，many big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you.

　　For another reason，China is a country with so different cultures and traditions from the West that many foreigners enjoy living and working here.Why not come and join them？I'm sure you'll adapt to the environment quickly.If you come，I will do what I can to help you.So what are you waiting for?

　　Best__wishes.

　　Yours，

　　Li__Hua
