Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:

1) describe the drawing briefly,

2) explain its intended meaning, and then 3) give your comments.

You should write on ANSWER SHEET 2. 范文：

This drawing depicts a typical “little emperor” of a contemporary Chinese family. The fat son sinks comfortably into a soft sofa watching TV, while his father and mother, who are strikingly thinner, are feeding him watermelon and cutting his nails. No doubt, the boy is very spoiled being the center.

Unfortunately, children who are brought up in such an environment may suffer hardships later. Because their life is always pampered, there is a great possibility that they would be unable to deal with any frustration or failure. Most of the children who are extremely pampered are arrogant and complacent, without the awareness of showing respect to others. This attitude can arouse others’ disfavor toward them. Furthermore, these children may find difficulty in sustaining themselves once detached from their families.

What I want to emphasize by the above analysis is that, though it is good to see much of parents’ attention is focused on children, it is more important to help children learn how to survive and how to be good citizens. They are ensured not only of a bright future but also a sound intellectual and mental foundation, and hence a healthy life. 译文：

这幅图刻画了一个当代中国家庭典型的“小皇帝”。这个胖男孩舒服地坐在柔软的沙发上看电视，他瘦弱的父母正分别喂他吃西瓜和帮他剪脚趾甲。毫无疑问，男孩在这种以他为中心的环境中受到了极度的溺爱。

不幸的是，在这种环境中成长起来的孩子们将来可能无法承受困难。首先，因为他们的生活总是一帆风顺，因此他们很有可能将来无法面对挫折和失败。一件不如意的小事对于他们来说可能就是致命的。第二，大多数受溺爱的孩子都非常自大和傲慢，不知道如何尊重别人。这种态度会招致他人的厌恶。第三，这些孩子可能会在脱离家庭独立生活以后发现自食其力是非常困难的。 通过以上分析我想强调的是，尽管父母把很大一部分精力放在孩子身上是一件好事，但是帮助孩子们学会如何生存、如何成为一个合格的公民对他们是更重要的。这样才能保证他们有一个美好的未来，而且也为他们的健康生活打下基础。 闪光词汇及词组：

This is a very thought-provoking picture. A young couple is marrying and they hold a decent wedding ceremony. While they are happily smiling for this important event, their parents, in contrast, sink into a

difficult financial situation because the huge expense for the marriage which imposes heavy loads on them. We can deduce that the artist is purposefully reminding us of a rather negative trend emerging in today’s society. That is to say, it is becoming a fashion for bridegrooms and brides to celebrate marriage in a very luxurious manner. Admittedly, marriage symbolizes a milestone in one’s life and should be given extreme emphasis. But importance should not be necessarily expressed by how much money is spent. In fact, a grand wedding has more negative effects. For one thing, the newlyweds usually cannot afford marriage expense, and transfer the load to parents. For another, new couples might be misled thinking that they can always rely on parents instead of being self-sufficient

I strongly contend that young people should not establish their own happiness on the basis of parents’ hardship. I think a simple wedding ceremony conveys true delight and significance. Thus the whole society should endeavor to promote a new fashion of simple weddings. 译文：

这是一张非常发人深省的图片。一对新婚夫妇正在举办一场盛大的婚礼。当他们正在为这场盛事微笑的时候，他们的父母却陷入了沉重的经济负担，因为婚礼的全部费用都落到了他们的肩上。

我们可以得出作画者的意图在于提醒我们社会上正在出现的一个不良风气，即新郎新娘们举办豪华的婚礼成为了一种流行的做法。虽然结婚是人生里程碑式的一步，应该给与足够的重视，但是重要性并不意味着要通过花很多钱来表现。相反，盛大的婚礼带来了更多的负面影响。一方面，新婚的人们一般都无法承担婚礼的费用，因此这个负担就转嫁到父母的身上。另一方面，新婚夫妇可能因此

受到误导，认为可以一直依赖父母而依靠自己。

我认为年轻人不应该把自己的幸福建立在父母的痛苦之上。同时，我也认为简单的婚礼更加能够表达喜悦和重要意义。因此，全社会都应该掀起简单婚礼的新时尚。

The cartoon reveals a very thought-provoking scene. A student is throwing money into a pool while enthusiastically encouraging his parents to work harder. But he seems blind of how diligently his parents are striving to supply him with living expenses. The artist purposefully exaggerates the student’s body to emphasize his prodigality, while dwarfing his parents to indicate their hardship.

We can deduce from the picture that its aim is to criticize the spreading extravagant behavior among students, especially college students. Many students become increasingly obsessed with leading a high-quality life. To make it worse, they become proud of boasting wealth and compare their financial status with each other. Because of their inexperienced knowledge about life, they fail to comprehend that money is never easily earned, nor should it be carelessly spent. Thus, I would say that such a behavior implies disrespect towards parents. This ingrate attitude and the unhealthy consumption negatively impact. In my opinion, it is the society’s responsibility to cultivate children with an independent outlook of life by various means. It is important for them to understand that a good life is created by oneself, not by others. 译文：

这幅图刻画一个非常发人深思的情景。一个学生正在朝池塘扔钱，并且热切

地鼓励他的父母加油干活。但是他却对于父母为了供给他的生活费而辛勤劳动这一事实视而不见。作画者故意夸张了学生的身体大小从而强调了他的铺张生活，同时缩小了他父母的身体大小来体现他们的辛苦。

我们从这幅图中可以推断其目的在于指责在学生中流行的奢侈行为，特别是在大学生中。一方面，许多学生越来越关心如何过上高质量的生活。更糟的是，他们喜欢炫耀财富、并且相互攀比。另一方面，因为他们对于生活的经验认识不足、对于父母的关心也不够，导致他们无法理解赚钱的不易，钱也不应该被随随便便地花掉。因此，我敢说这种行为是对父母的一种不尊敬。

这种对于父母的不孝态度和不健康的消费习惯对于学生们有很大的负面影响。我认为，全社会应该担负起教育孩子们形成独立生活观的责任。他们应该理解好的生活是由自己创造的，而不是别人给予的，这一点非常重要。 闪光词汇及词组： pool: 池塘

enthusiastic: adj. 热切的 exaggerate: v. 夸张

As is illustrated in the picture, a couple sleeps on the same bed but they seem to be rather isolated from each other. Their oral communication has been replaced by online chatting. This picture reveals the in-depth problem of modern people’s alienation from each other, even among family members.

The issue is attributed to two factors. In the first place, modern people are fully occupied by their work and business, which causes so much tension that there is little time left for communication with each other. Everybody is busy all the time because of the pressure of survival in the society, which deprives them of a casual way of life. In the second place, the prevailing use of the Internet makes it easier for people to contact each other. However, the convenience of sending instant messages to anybody around the world prevents people from the pleasure of the
