6、ho is almost overwhelmed by the heavy burden of supporting a whole family on his back. What is strikingly noticeable is the expectant faces of his family members, while the pressure is beyond his ability and he is trembling. The difficult situation of the man discloses a prevalent phenomenon that ha
7、s long existed in China. For one thing, nowadays, there is only one child in most Chinese families. So when the only one child gets married and when the parents get old, the young couple has to support both their four parents and their child with their limited income and energy. For another, as the
8、pace of modern life continues to increase, the living costs, together with the price of house and the tuition fees keep rising. As a result, young people today have to be faced with more stresses. To solve this problem, I think there should be a succession of government policies to control the livin
9、g costs and to increase the income of the public. At the same time, the government should pass some laws to guarantee and improve the welfare of the society. Thus the pressure on the modern people will be reduced greatly, which will also contribute to the construction of a harmonious society. 2 【正确答
10、案】 Caring About Parents The cartoon shows a father who is waiting for his children before a bridge, disappointed and sad. The bridge is the symbol of the law on the protection of the seniors rights and interests. The purpose of the law is to encourage us to care about our lonely parents disregarding
11、 all kinds of excuses. Ignoring parents is unforgivable in many ways. Firstly, parents devote their most valuable life to bring us up, which in return deserves our concern for them. Secondly, its out of doubt that young people are buried with their own business and daily chores, however, these can n
12、ever be the reasons why they cannot visit their parents. Finally, we are responsible for the inheritance of traditional virtue to care for parents. With the rapid pace of economic development, our old parents feel more and more lonely and unhappy. However busy we may be, we should spend more time ta
13、lking with them and accompanying them, because it is our legal obligation to take care of them physically and mentally. 3 【正确答案】 On Predecessors Experience As is vividly illustrated in the cartoon, a man has fallen into a well pit, while another man is still following his path hastily and cheerfully
14、. Many people doubt whether the roads which our predecessors walk are correct or not. The central point of this cartoon is that we should hold a right attitude towards the pioneers experience. Some persons believe that the experience which our predecessors have left is wholly right, but I do not tot
15、ally agree. On the one hand, experience accumulated by great persons can guide the direction for us and the general rule of thumb does often save time and money. On the other hand, the predecessors experience is not correct all the time; sometimes it will lead us to the blind area. We should learn t
16、he lesson and accumulate experience by ourselves. I maintain again that we should have a rational opinion of previous generations experience. Experience accumulated by great persons can guide us. Meanwhile we must learn to be flexible and innovative. Then we could make better use of the existing exp
17、erience and continue to move forward. 4 【正确答案】 Spam Messages This picture depicts a social phenomenon that mobile phone users are being flooded with spam messages. Why are spam messages so popular nowadays? This phenomenon, for my part, can be attributed to three reasons. Firstly, the telecommunicat
18、ions companies have obtained great benefits from the senders of spam messages. Secondly, compared with radio, television or e-mail, the cellphone sends advertising information more quickly, conveniently and economically. Thirdly, regulatory authorities fail to bring spam messages under control. Howe
19、ver, spam messages have great harm, because they not only affect peoples life, but also disturb the normal social order and corrupt social morality. Based on the above discussions, we have enough reasons to call for a stop of spam messages. Besides, workers of telecommunications companies should be
20、more vigilant about suspicious mass messages sent by one person, and regulatory authorities should tighten their supervision. 5 【正确答案】 Foreign Products vs. Domestic Products This picture clearly reflects a national worship of foreign products. Most people seem to be rooted in the consciousness that
21、products coming from foreign countries should be much more expensive than those made in our own country and they live to purchase foreign products. Obviously, this kind of consciousness is not right. In the first place, China is still a developing country. Our economy needs the support of consumers,
22、 especially domestic consumers, to propel domestic demand and stimulate consumption. In the second place, foreign products dont necessarily mean higher quality or more excellent design. Sometimes, these products are popular among Chinese just because of the culture behind the products. In the third place, we have an obligation to support domestic industry. We need to strengthen our domestic enterprises to reinforce our national force. To sum up, we should not worship foreign products blindly. Instead, we are supposed to keep a rational mind towards foreign products.
