Dictionary
The dictionary is living teacher. Whenever you come across a new word, just consult it and you will get a clear definition from it. Every student, no matter attending school or self-taught, should always have a dictionary at hand. As a study aid, it is convenient, inexpensive and allknowing.
Skills will develop with your constant use of various dictionaries The more you use them, the more familiar you will become with them. Sooner or later, you will be quite skilled in finding the page, scanning the entries and locating the exact meaning of the new words.
But you should have one thing mind. As a language student, you should never depend too much on dictionaries. Basic language skills do not come from dictionaries, but from your practice. For some extensive reading, for example, you need not account to a dictionary every time you encounter a new word, you could just guess the meaning and skip it. Learn the language by listening, speaking, reading and writing more, and that is the only way to the mastery of a language.

Help Children to Be Independent
Today in China, many families have only one child. So the children usually doted upon by all family members.
Gradually some of them get used to depending on their parents and lack the ability to solve problems independently.
There are some ways to help children to be independent. Firstly, the child should have a chance to see the world around him. He must understand that therere various competitions in this world, and everyone can find his right position in the society only by individual efforts. Secondly, the parents should give the child enough help to make him feel comfortable. Its impossible to ask a child not to depend on parents at once. A child needs help from the beginning. Without any help, the child may lose his faith. Thirdly, parents should let his child make decisions, which can temper his ability to deal with problems. A child should be praised when he is successful or when he fails.
To be independent is good for the children, because no parents can accompany the children for the whole life. It is the child himself who is responsible for her own fate. Only an independent person can live and succeed in this world.
譯文：幫助孩子獨立起來
現(xiàn)今的中國，很多家庭都是獨生子女家庭。所以孩子受到了所有家庭成員的寵愛。漸漸地他們習(xí)慣了依賴父母，缺乏了獨立解決問題的能力。
有一些方法可以幫助孩子獨立起來。第一，孩子應(yīng)該有機會認識身邊的世界。他必須知道世界上有各種各樣的競爭，只有通過個人的努力才能找到自己的位置。第二，父母應(yīng)該給他們提供幫助。開始的時候孩子都需要幫助，離開了父母的幫助他們會失去方向。第三，父母應(yīng)該讓孩子做決定，以此來鍛煉他們處理問題的能力。當(dāng)孩子成功或失敗時他們都需要鼓勵。
獨立對于孩子是有利的。因為父母不能陪伴他們一輩子。他們要對自己的命運負責(zé)。只有獨立的人才能夠在這世界生存并取得成功。

Only Stricter Traffic Laws Can Prevent Accidents
Though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we cites the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motorcar! It is a neverending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people in the world are killed or horribly mutilated each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motorcar often brings out a mans very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steeringwheel. They are illmannered and aggressive, willful as twoyear olds and utterly selfish.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.
It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate.

有一種說法我認為是對的，每當(dāng)人們手握方向盤的時候，他們的個性就顯露出來了。勿容置疑汽車將人們的惡性顯露出來。平時安靜的人一開車馬上變得讓人認不出。他們變得具有攻擊性，極度自私，像兩歲孩子一樣任性。
令人驚奇的是人們對于肇事者的態(tài)度十分縱容。為他們提供了各種便利條件。由于嚴(yán)重的交通擁擠，城市幾乎變得不適合認居住。鄉(xiāng)村也被各種公路網(wǎng)所污染。大量的交通死亡人數(shù)也只不過是一些數(shù)字，被人們所遺忘。

There is a heated discussion on airconditioner "price battle" in a newspaper.
Write an essay to the newspaper
1) giving a brief introduction to the issue.
2) stating your view about the "price battle", and
3) justifying your prediction.
You should write 160-200 words.
With the rapid advances in the living standard of the Chinese people in recent years, airconditioners have joined other household electrical appliances as items in great demand. However, output has far exceeded supply, as manufacturers have scrambled for sales in this profitable market. As a result, fierce competition has driven them to resort to all sorts of measures to pull ahead of their rivals and avoid going bankrupt.
These measures include aggressive advertising campaigns, offering a free gift with every purchase of an airconditioner, and most important of all, lowering prices. Price wars are a common phenomenon whenever supply outstrips demand in a freemarket economy, and Chinas newly liberalized economy is no exception. Nevertheless, I do not think we will see a repeat of the recent price war in the airconditioner market in the future
I have three reasons for my prediction. The first is that the earlier round of pricecutting eliminated the lessefficient manufacturers from the industry; so there are fewer companies supplying the market. The second is that the government has taken measures to regulate the airconditioner market, eliminating the chaos that price wars entail.
And the third is that with Chinas admission to the WTO, manufacturers will have to offer more attractive-not cheaper-products.
譯文
隨著近年來中國人民生活水平的快速提高，空調(diào)也同其他家用電器一樣有了廣大的市場。但是，產(chǎn)量遠遠超過了需求量，制造商只能在這一領(lǐng)域種掙扎。結(jié)果，激烈的競爭使得各個制造商采取了各種措施超過其競爭者而使自己免于破產(chǎn)。
這些措施包括大規(guī)模的廣告，提供免費禮物，當(dāng)然最重要的是降價。在供大于求的自由市場條件下，價格戰(zhàn)是非常普遍的。中國也不例外。然而，我認為將來這種空調(diào)價格戰(zhàn)不會再重演。
我有三個理由。第一，首輪的競爭已經(jīng)淘汰了那些效率低下的制造商。所以市場上的供應(yīng)將減少。第二，政府已經(jīng)采取了措施來規(guī)范空調(diào)市場，消除了價格戰(zhàn)的混亂。第三，中國加入WTO后，制造商只能靠提供更好的而不是的商品來贏得市場。

Directions: In the past people thought that education was only for young people. But now it is believed that education is for a lifelong progress. Do you agree or disagree?
You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.
You should write 160-200 words.
Education is an indispensable part in ones life. It illuminates human knowledge and culture, improving the development of science and technology. In my point of view, education is not only for young people, it should be proceeding in peoples whole life.
For one reason, our society is developing at an amazing speed along with the improvement of science and technology. If people stop studying after graduation from university, they can not keep pace with the steps of social development and easy to be eliminated in the fierce competition. Take the IT as an example. The amount of information is increasing in a speed dozens of times faster than before. If a person does not learn the latest knowledge they would not be able to develop new technology and products. Therefore, a person should take a lifelong learning.
As the saying goes, “never too old to learn.” To keep up with the development of world, a person must study during his whole life. Otherwise, he will lag far behind the others.
譯文
在人的一生中教育是不可分割的一部分。它承載了知識和文明，促進了科學(xué)技術(shù)的進步。在我看來，教育不盡屬于年經(jīng)人，而是一個一生的過程。
其中一個原因就是隨著科學(xué)技術(shù)的不斷進步，社會發(fā)展的速度也是驚人的。如果大學(xué)畢業(yè)后就停止學(xué)習(xí)，人們很難跟上社會發(fā)展的腳步，很容易在激烈的競爭中被淘汰。比如說IT技術(shù)。信息正在以以前幾倍的速度增長。如果人們不學(xué)習(xí)最新的知識他們就不能發(fā)展新技術(shù)和產(chǎn)品。因此，人們應(yīng)該終身學(xué)習(xí)。
正如諺語所說“活到老學(xué)到老“。為了跟隨世界的腳步，人們必須終生學(xué)習(xí)，否則他們將落于人后。

Directions: Nowadays, young people tend to rush into independence. Many of them leave home to study or work while still in their teens. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this. You should write 160-200 words.
It is very common for young people to rush into independence. Especially, many teenagers leave home to study or work on their own. I am of the opinion that this new trend has both advantages and disadvantages.
It goes without saying that earlier independence helps young people to better understand the people around them and the world as a whole. They can gather more valuable social experience for their future life and career. Moreover, living on their own enable the young people to face and overcome difficulties by themselves.
However, every coins has two sides, we cannot turn a blind eye to the unavoidable disadvantages of early independence. On one hand, people in their teens are still immature. They need proper protection to all the temptations and evils of society. On the other hand, they are inclined to allot their time and energy inappropriately, for they may have to spend the lions share of their time earning their own living.
To sum up, young people should think the advantages and disadvantages of early independence seriously before making the decision to leave home and face lifes challenges alone.
譯文
現(xiàn)在年經(jīng)人很早就開始追求獨立了。特別是許多十幾歲的青少年離開家獨自在外學(xué)習(xí)和工作。我認為這種新的趨勢既有利也有弊。
毫無疑問，早期的獨立有利于年經(jīng)人更好地理解周圍的人和事。他們可以積累更多未來生活和工作非常寶貴的經(jīng)驗。而且，獨立生活使得年經(jīng)人可以獨立面對和克服困難。
但是任何事情都有兩方面，我們不能忽視早期獨立不可避免的弊端。一方面，人在十幾歲的時候一般還不成熟。面對社會上的各種誘惑和邪惡，他們需要適當(dāng)?shù)谋Ｗo。另一方面，由于這些孩子年齡小，他們也不能合理地利用自己的時間。
總之，年經(jīng)在決定離開家獨自面對生活的挑戰(zhàn)時應(yīng)該慎重考慮早期獨立的利與弊。

What Jobs Do College Graduates Want To Do
College students have a clear idea about their future occupation and boys are to some extent different from girls in their choice as is seen from the graph.
The most striking contrast is in the occupation of teaching: 45% of girl students would like to become teachers after graduation whereas only 5% of boys want to do this job. What boys like to do most is to become managers (40%) and the second largest group is to be businessmen (30%). Girls also like to pursue these two professions, with a percentage of 15% and 25% respectively choosing these two jobs. 15% of boys want to become lawyers while 10% of girls preferring this profession.
Teaching is preferred by females as it provides a more regular and purer life. Womens patience also fits the job well. Boys consider working as scientists, managers, businessmen and lawyers more demanding and stimulating, so more boys want to show their talents in these fields. One thing worthy of note is that the numbers of girls wanting to do business is not small. This shows that girls also want to do the challenging and exciting jobs.

女生之所以選擇教師職業(yè)，是因為這一職業(yè)更加穩(wěn)定和單純。女性的耐心也非常適合這個職業(yè)。男生認為科學(xué)家、管理人員、生意人和律師更加高要求和刺激，所以更多男生愿意在這些方面展示他們的才華。值得一提的是女生選擇生意人的比例很高。這顯示了女生也愿意做有挑戰(zhàn)和刺激的工作。

The above table describes the situation regarding underground transportation in London, Paris, Tokyo, Washington, Los Angel, and Beijing. The major cities founded their subway system in the 20th century, which was in Tokyo, Washington, and Paris. London firstly completed its underground work and began to operate in 1863. The latest time that Los Angel had had its subway was after 139 years.
London has the longest underground railway distance, which is almost a time than Paris. Tokyo, Washington and Los Angel have similar datum which are 149, 114 and 123 kilometer respectively. Beijing only contains 50 kilometers of route length.
Though the longest route is London, the most carrying capacity is Tokyos subway system. It carried about 1434 million passengers each year, while 548 million people in London at the same time. The figures in Washington are not achieved 100, only 70 each year. Beijing only carries 45 million people which is the lowest carrying capacity in all cities.

How can we meet the needs of today without diminishing the capacity of future generations to meet theirs? Sustainable development implies a broad view of human welfare, a long term perspective about social development. Write an essay which should cover:

You should write about 160-200 words.
As can be seen from the above drawings, the father has planted a small tree that grows into a big one and is left to his son to enjoy. Years later, his son sits under the big tree enjoying its shade.
In social development, we should not over utilize our natural resources, as in the case of forests. A reasonable use of forests and reforestation are the best choices in the long run. Human beings should plan ahead when it comes to social development. Even though trees are in short demand today, we must still keep the deforestation under control, for we do not want to eliminate all of our forests, which are essential to our existence. Reforestation is another wise practice. We may not fully benefit from planting trees for the time being, but we must continue doing so, since it will benefit later generations.
From the point of view of sustainable development, we have the responsibility to ensure that future generations have enough natural resources to use and are not penalized for the shortsightedness of present day decision makers. In other words, we should not use up our natural resources just to meet our own present day needs, while ignoring the future of our planet.

從可持續(xù)發(fā)展的角度來看，我們有責(zé)任來保障后代有豐富的自然資源可利用，并且不會使他們因今天決策者的目光短淺而受到懲罰。換句話說，我們不應(yīng)該僅為滿足我們自己當(dāng)前的需要而用盡所有的自然資源，忽視我們后代的需求。

In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and casually discards the peels on the street, unaware of the fact that such actions not only pollute the environment but also pose a danger to others. In the next illustration a disabled man struggles to properly dispose of the trash she has left behind.
Being well dressed is of great importance in keeping a good appearance. The way a person is dressed helps him to have a good appearance, which conveys his confidence and attitudes towards life. However, we should always bear this in mind: dont judge a person by his appearance. Ones confidence and good impression on others does not usually develop from the way one dresses or looks, but the inner qualities one possesses. Because of this, the old man is displaying a more beautiful virtue even though he is disabled and somewhat ugly physically compared with the young girl.
No doubt beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eyes. A nice, pretty girl is regarded as beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked upon as beautiful. However, beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. The virtues of the Chinese people are regarded as beautiful, because they have helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. In a word, we should not only pay attention to our physical appearance, but also improve our heart and soul.

毫無疑問，美麗是指那些吸引人們目光的東西。一個漂亮迷人的女孩是美麗，一束盛開的鮮花同樣是美麗，一個壯觀的瀑布從山上飛流直下也是美麗。然而，美麗還指那些能夠吸引人們思想的東西。中華民族的傳統(tǒng)美德是美麗，因為正是這樣的美德才孕育了世界上如此燦爛的文化。 一言以蔽之，我們不僅要只注意自己的外表，同時也要使我們的心靈得到升華。

These measures include aggressive advertising campaigns, offering a free gift with every purchase of an airconditioner, and most important of all, lowering prices. Price wars are a common phenomenon whenever supply outstrips demand in a freemarket economy, and Chinas newly liberalized economy is no exception. Nevertheless, I do not think we will see a repeat of the recent price war in the airconditioner market in the future
I have three reasons for my prediction. The first is that the earlier round of pricecutting eliminated the lessefficient manufacturers from the industry; so there are fewer companies supplying the market. The second is that the government has taken measures to regulate the airconditioner market, eliminating the chaos that price wars entail.
And the third is that with Chinas admission to the WTO, manufacturers will have to offer more attractive-not cheaper-products.

隨著近年來中國人民生活水平的快速提高，空調(diào)也同其他家用電器一樣有了廣大的市場。但是，產(chǎn)量遠遠超過了需求量，制造商只能在這一領(lǐng)域種掙扎。結(jié)果，激烈的競爭使得各個制造商采取了各種措施超過其競爭者而使自己免于破產(chǎn)。
這些措施包括大規(guī)模的廣告，提供免費禮物，當(dāng)然最重要的是降價。在供大于求的自由市場條件下，價格戰(zhàn)是非常普遍的。中國也不例外。然而，我認為將來這種空調(diào)價格戰(zhàn)不會再重演。
我有三個理由。第一，首輪的競爭已經(jīng)淘汰了那些效率低下的制造商。所以市場上的供應(yīng)將減少。第二，政府已經(jīng)采取了措施來規(guī)范空調(diào)市場，消除了價格戰(zhàn)的混亂。第三，中國加入WTO后，制造商只能靠提供更好的而不是的商品來贏得市場。

Directions: In the past people thought that education was only for young people. But now it is believed that education is for a lifelong progress. Do you agree or disagree?
You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.
You should write 160-200 words.
Education is an indispensable part in ones life. It illuminates human knowledge and culture, improving the development of science and technology. In my point of view, education is not only for young people, it should be proceeding in peoples whole life.
For one reason, our society is developing at an amazing speed along with the improvement of science and technology. If people stop studying after graduation from university, they can not keep pace with the steps of social development and easy to be eliminated in the fierce competition. Take the IT as an example. The amount of information is increasing in a speed dozens of times faster than before. If a person does not learn the latest knowledge they would not be able to develop new technology and products. Therefore, a person should take a lifelong learning.
As the saying goes, “never too old to learn.” To keep up with the development of world, a person must study during his whole life. Otherwise, he will lag far behind the others.
譯文
在人的一生中教育是不可分割的一部分。它承載了知識和文明，促進了科學(xué)技術(shù)的進步。在我看來，教育不盡屬于年經(jīng)人，而是一個一生的過程。
其中一個原因就是隨著科學(xué)技術(shù)的不斷進步，社會發(fā)展的速度也是驚人的。如果大學(xué)畢業(yè)后就停止學(xué)習(xí)，人們很難跟上社會發(fā)展的腳步，很容易在激烈的競爭中被淘汰。比如說IT技術(shù)。信息正在以以前幾倍的速度增長。如果人們不學(xué)習(xí)最新的知識他們就不能發(fā)展新技術(shù)和產(chǎn)品。因此，人們應(yīng)該終身學(xué)習(xí)。
正如諺語所說“活到老學(xué)到老“。為了跟隨世界的腳步，人們必須終生學(xué)習(xí)，否則他們將落于人后。

Directions: Nowadays, young people tend to rush into independence. Many of them leave home to study or work while still in their teens. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this. You should write 160-200 words.
It is very common for young people to rush into independence. Especially, many teenagers leave home to study or work on their own. I am of the opinion that this new trend has both advantages and disadvantages.
It goes without saying that earlier independence helps young people to better understand the people around them and the world as a whole. They can gather more valuable social experience for their future life and career. Moreover, living on their own enable the young people to face and overcome difficulties by themselves.
However, every coins has two sides, we cannot turn a blind eye to the unavoidable disadvantages of early independence. On one hand, people in their teens are still immature. They need proper protection to all the temptations and evils of society. On the other hand, they are inclined to allot their time and energy inappropriately, for they may have to spend the lions share of their time earning their own living.
To sum up, young people should think the advantages and disadvantages of early independence seriously before making the decision to leave home and face lifes challenges alone.
譯文
現(xiàn)在年經(jīng)人很早就開始追求獨立了。特別是許多十幾歲的青少年離開家獨自在外學(xué)習(xí)和工作。我認為這種新的趨勢既有利也有弊。
毫無疑問，早期的獨立有利于年經(jīng)人更好地理解周圍的人和事。他們可以積累更多未來生活和工作非常寶貴的經(jīng)驗。而且，獨立生活使得年經(jīng)人可以獨立面對和克服困難。
但是任何事情都有兩方面，我們不能忽視早期獨立不可避免的弊端。一方面，人在十幾歲的時候一般還不成熟。面對社會上的各種誘惑和邪惡，他們需要適當(dāng)?shù)谋Ｗo。另一方面，由于這些孩子年齡小，他們也不能合理地利用自己的時間。
總之，年經(jīng)在決定離開家獨自面對生活的挑戰(zhàn)時應(yīng)該慎重考慮早期獨立的利與弊。

What Jobs Do College Graduates Want To Do
College students have a clear idea about their future occupation and boys are to some extent different from girls in their choice as is seen from the graph.
The most striking contrast is in the occupation of teaching: 45% of girl students would like to become teachers after graduation whereas only 5% of boys want to do this job. What boys like to do most is to become managers (40%) and the second largest group is to be businessmen (30%). Girls also like to pursue these two professions, with a percentage of 15% and 25% respectively choosing these two jobs. 15% of boys want to become lawyers while 10% of girls preferring this profession.
Teaching is preferred by females as it provides a more regular and purer life. Womens patience also fits the job well. Boys consider working as scientists, managers, businessmen and lawyers more demanding and stimulating, so more boys want to show their talents in these fields. One thing worthy of note is that the numbers of girls wanting to do business is not small. This shows that girls also want to do the challenging and exciting jobs.
譯文
大學(xué)生對于未來職業(yè)有很清楚的想法，從上表中可以看出男生和女生在一定程度上有所不同。
的區(qū)別是在對教師職業(yè)的選擇：45％的女生愿意在畢業(yè)后從事教師職業(yè)，而只有5％的男生愿意從事這一職業(yè)。男生最喜歡的職業(yè)是管理人員（40％），其次是生意人（30％）。女生也非常喜歡這兩種職業(yè)，比例分別為為管理人員（15%），生意人（25％）。有15％男生和10％女生畢業(yè)后愿意從事律師職業(yè)。
女生之所以選擇教師職業(yè)，是因為這一職業(yè)更加穩(wěn)定和單純。女性的耐心也非常適合這個職業(yè)。男生認為科學(xué)家、管理人員、生意人和律師更加高要求和刺激，所以更多男生愿意在這些方面展示他們的才華。值得一提的是女生選擇生意人的比例很高。這顯示了女生也愿意做有挑戰(zhàn)和刺激的工作。

上面的表格描述了倫敦、巴黎、東京、華盛頓、洛杉磯和北京這六個城市的地下鐵交通情況。東京、華盛頓、倫敦這些大城市在20世紀(jì)就完成了地鐵的建造。倫敦的地鐵最早完工，并于1863年開始運行。最近的洛杉磯是在139年后才有了地鐵。
倫敦的地鐵線最長，幾乎是巴黎的2倍。東京、華盛頓和洛杉磯的地鐵長度差不多，分別為149公里、114公里和123公里。北京的地鐵的長度只有50公里。
盡管倫敦的地鐵線最長，但是東京地鐵的載客量卻是的。東京地鐵每年的載客量為1434億人，而倫敦僅548億。華盛頓的載客量還沒有達到100億，只有70億。北京地鐵的載客量只有45億，在所有城市中最低。

Directions:
How can we meet the needs of today without diminishing the capacity of future generations to meet theirs? Sustainable development implies a broad view of human welfare, a long term perspective about social development. Write an essay which should cover:
1) describing the set of drawings below,
2) stating its main idea, and
3) giving your comment.
You should write about 160-200 words.
As can be seen from the above drawings, the father has planted a small tree that grows into a big one and is left to his son to enjoy. Years later, his son sits under the big tree enjoying its shade.
In social development, we should not over utilize our natural resources, as in the case of forests. A reasonable use of forests and reforestation are the best choices in the long run. Human beings should plan ahead when it comes to social development. Even though trees are in short demand today, we must still keep the deforestation under control, for we do not want to eliminate all of our forests, which are essential to our existence. Reforestation is another wise practice. We may not fully benefit from planting trees for the time being, but we must continue doing so, since it will benefit later generations.
From the point of view of sustainable development, we have the responsibility to ensure that future generations have enough natural resources to use and are not penalized for the shortsightedness of present day decision makers. In other words, we should not use up our natural resources just to meet our own present day needs, while ignoring the future of our planet.
譯文
畫中可見，一位父親種了一棵小樹，這棵小樹將長成參天大樹，他的兒子將會從中受益。多年以后，他的兒子坐在樹下享受著大樹帶來的陰涼。
在社會發(fā)展中，我們不能過度使用自然資源，比如說森林資源。從長遠來說對森林的合理利用和植樹造林是的選擇。人類應(yīng)當(dāng)為社會發(fā)展做長遠的打算。盡管木材在當(dāng)今社會十分短缺，我們也必須控制濫砍濫伐，因為我們不愿看到森林這一人類賴以生存的基礎(chǔ)被徹底用盡。植樹造林無疑是又一項英明的舉措。我們也許暫時不能夠充分享受植樹給我們帶來的益處，但是我們必須繼續(xù)將這一舉措堅持下去，因為它會使我們的后代受益。
從可持續(xù)發(fā)展的角度來看，我們有責(zé)任來保障后代有豐富的自然資源可利用，并且不會使他們因今天決策者的目光短淺而受到懲罰。換句話說，我們不應(yīng)該僅為滿足我們自己當(dāng)前的需要而用盡所有的自然資源，忽視我們后代的需求。

Directions: Study the following set of cartoons carefully and write an essay in which you should
1) describe the cartoons,
2) interpret its meaning, and
3) point out its implications in our life.
You should write about 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and casually discards the peels on the street, unaware of the fact that such actions not only pollute the environment but also pose a danger to others. In the next illustration a disabled man struggles to properly dispose of the trash she has left behind.
Being well dressed is of great importance in keeping a good appearance. The way a person is dressed helps him to have a good appearance, which conveys his confidence and attitudes towards life. However, we should always bear this in mind: dont judge a person by his appearance. Ones confidence and good impression on others does not usually develop from the way one dresses or looks, but the inner qualities one possesses. Because of this, the old man is displaying a more beautiful virtue even though he is disabled and somewhat ugly physically compared with the young girl.
No doubt beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eyes. A nice, pretty girl is regarded as beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked upon as beautiful. However, beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. The virtues of the Chinese people are regarded as beautiful, because they have helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. In a word, we should not only pay attention to our physical appearance, but also improve our heart and soul.
譯文
漫畫中描繪了一個穿著入時的女孩把香蕉皮隨手丟棄在地上，而不是把它放入垃圾桶內(nèi)。之后，一位年長的殘疾人把它拾起放入了垃圾桶。穿著漂亮固然能夠展現(xiàn)美麗的外表。一個人的穿著方式有助于其擁有漂亮的外表，這體現(xiàn)了一個人對生活的信心和態(tài)度。然而，我們應(yīng)該始終記住這樣的原則：不以貌取人。一個人的自信和良好的形象往往不只在于她的長相和穿著，而在于她的內(nèi)在品質(zhì)。正因如此，這位擁有高尚道德的長者看起來要比這位時髦女孩更加美麗，盡管他有殘疾而他的外表也比不上這位年輕的女孩。
毫無疑問，美麗是指那些吸引人們目光的東西。一個漂亮迷人的女孩是美麗，一束盛開的鮮花同樣是美麗，一個壯觀的瀑布從山上飛流直下也是美麗。然而，美麗還指那些能夠吸引人們思想的東西。中華民族的傳統(tǒng)美德是美麗，因為正是這樣的美德才孕育了世界上如此燦爛的文化。 一言以蔽之，我們不僅要只注意自己的外表，同時也要使我們的心靈得到升華。
