一、Translate the following English passage into Chinese:（15 分） 

The world-famous magazine the Economist recently commented on the TPP, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, tying together 12 countries, and praised it as the most important free-trade agreement in years. It will be the largest regional trade deal ever, with its members accounting for nearly 40% of the world economy. According to the Economist, the countries that lead the negotiations seek to set a new standard for what trade agreements must entail. They are taking on the morass of regulations, such as local-content rules determining how much a product must be made from local inputs. In addition, the Peterson Institute for International Economics also reckons the TPP will enlarge the economies of the twelve member states by $285 billion by 2025. Despite many challenges and potential flaws, if completed, the TPP, the biggest trade deal in years, benefits the new Pacific trade zone, and also a good news for the world.

三、Short Essay Writing:（20 分） 

Put into practice in July, 2015, Taiwan’s current basic wage, also known as minimum wage, is NT$20,008 per month or NT$120 per hour, increasing approximately 3.8% from the previous year. To preserve the interest of Taiwan’s laborers, labor representatives pledged to continue pushing for the establishment of formulas for future wage raise. Industry leaders, on the other hand, worried that the raise would cost businesses extra payroll expenses. Some experts believe that in the short term, companies, particularly small businesses will struggle, and jobs will very possibly be lost. In the long term, however, most of the additional wages will go straight back into consumption, and eventually other jobs can be created. Express your views on this issue in a short essay of 300 words.
