Nature does the same favour to every human being, whether rich or poor. So all the humans put on the nature deep dependence, especially in the countryside, where the people have been living the same life for thousands of years. They plant crops and grapes, make wine to drink, feed the cattle and milk the cows, weed and plant flowers. They go to church at weekends, and play music instruments on the plaza in the festivals, dancing and singing. The previous rural farms remain today’s sweet home. In this way each area has legends of its own and the customs pass down.

Translate the underlined part of the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
The word "winner" and "loser" have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who makes someone else lose. To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society.
Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence and manipulating others. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.
Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions and don t pretend to have all the answers. They listen to others; evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions. Although winners can admire and respect other people, they are not totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them.
Winners do not play "helpless", nor do they play the blaming game. Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives.

想象中自己应该是什么样的，成功者没将生命消耗在这种信念上。相反，他们活得有自我，因此不绞尽脑汁矫揉造作，不试图将他人玩弄于股掌之中。他们知道，真心关爱和虚情假意之间、真傻和装傻之间、真才实学和佯装有才之间界线分明。成功者无需面具掩藏自我。
成功者勇于独立思考，敢于展示才华。他们能将事实和观点区分开来，不假装全懂。他们听人进言，并权衡利弊，从而得出自己的结论。尽管会钦佩他人，但他们从不为其所羁绊。
成功者不会表现出无助，也不怨天尤人。相反，他们对生活尽职尽责。

The Most Important Personal Quality of a University Student
Everyone has one or more dreams. But it is much easier to set an aim than to realise it. In the course of obtaining success, we need a number of helps, either external or internal, and the personal qualities are of superior importance. Among the qualifies, such as smartness, honesty, confidence, the most important one, in my opinion, is diligence.
We are sure to encounter a number of difficulties on the way to success. On one hand, we must hold on. On the other hand, we should make efforts to find the best solutions as soon as possible. We have to force ourselves to know more, do more, and sweat more. Only working industriously can assure us of a good result.
Being industrious means more work and less relaxation. So diligent people will complete their tasks in a shorter time than others. They will get more information and experience in their work. In the long run they will do their job better and better. Diligence also means broad knowledge and good public relationship. No one will look down upon an industrious person, and no employer will promote an idle one.
In addition, industry is a merit of our Chinese people; it is also a stimulus to Japan’s recovery from the disaster of World War II. It is needed to realize our aims and to make our country more prosperous.
