The drawing portrays a tragic scene in which a rabbit is telling a story to her son, with numerous fresh tree stumps surrounding them. It seems that the tree stumps are lamenting the loss of their paradise as well。

The picture aims at assailing a serious environmental problem—deforestation, for which several factors are responsible. In the first place, no one can ignore the fact that wood is an indispensable raw material for industrial production and daily life. In the second place, the expanding human population requires more living space, and forests are always the first choice humans decide to sacrifice. As a result, forests have experienced, and are experiencing fatal destruction worldwide。

Currently, people in increasing numbers come to realize the forests’ fundamental role in sustaining ecological balance, and their damage will result in irreversible harm to the world’s environment. Therefore, urgent and effective measures should be implemented so as to prevent deforestation. For instance, there are already some steps that have proved useful, say, the establishment of reserves of natural lands, the creation of substitutes of wooden products. The preservation and restoration of forests is a complex project that calls for more concern from the human society. (203 words)

這幅圖描繪了一個悲劇的場景：森林中，一只兔子正向幼兔講述過去的事情，在它們周圍到處都是剛被砍掉的大樹留下的樹樁，而且這些樹樁仿佛也在悲嘆失去的生活天堂。

這幅漫畫的目的在于質問一個嚴重的森林環境破壞問題，這其中有許多原因。首先，沒有人可以忽略這一事實，木材是工業生產和人們生活中不可或缺的一種原材料；其次，不斷擴張的人口規模需要更多的生存空間，而森林往往是人類需求的第一個選擇。因此，在全世界范圍內，森林正在經歷致命性的毀滅。

現在，越來越多的人開始意識到森林對于保持生態平衡所起的重要作用，而對森林的破壞將會對全球環境造成不可逆轉的影響。因此，我們必須采取緊急和有效的措施來制止這一砍伐森林的趨勢。例如，我們已經有一些被證明為有效的措施，如建立自然環境保護區，發明替代木材的產品等。另外，森林的保護和恢復是一項復雜的系統工程，需要全社會對環保問題的共同和全面的關注。

A. Topic: Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay on the topic of loving our parents。

B. Word limit: about 200 words

C. Your essay should meet the requirements below:

1) Describe the cartoon and the message conveyed

2) Draw a conclusion and give your comment on the cartoon. Your essay must be written clearly。

As is vividly depicts in the cartoon, old parents are sitting on the coach with disappointment and sadness, because no one comes back to celebrate with them. Although they received a lot of presents from their children, they feel very miserable and have no appetite, since what they want most is not such material stuffs but the care and love from their children and grandchildren。

Nowadays, young men look so busy and independent in modern society that they will never feel free to live with their parents. They move out and mind their own business every day. On usual days, they would not like to take their time to visit their parents with the excuses of busyness. On some festival days, they probably share a little time to drop in their parents or even just send some presents but don’t show up personally like what the cartoon above illustrates. They think that presents can represent their love, however, to the parents, who overcame a lot of difficulties to bring them up, those stuff are far away from what they really hope for。

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 talking with them and accompanying them, because they once gave us so much selfless love that we should return them the same from the bottom of our heart.

漫畫中生動地展示了一對老人帶著失望與悲傷坐在椅子上，因為沒人回來和他們一起慶祝節日。雖然他們收到了子女的許多禮物，但他們感到非常孤獨，也沒什么胃口，因為他們最需要的并非這些物質的東西，而是子女們的關愛。

在現代社會中，年輕人看起來如此忙碌，以至于無法抽空來陪伴父母。他們大多搬出去獨自居住，每天忙于自己的事務。在平常的日子里，他們以忙為借口，不愿意花時間去探望父母。在一些節日，他們可能只留一點時間去看望父母或是如漫畫中所示的僅僅送些禮物表示心意而無法與父母團聚。他們認為禮物可以代表他們的愛意，但是，對于含辛茹苦把他們養育大的父母來說，這些禮物遠遠不是他們所期望的。

隨著經濟的快速發展，年邁的父母們感到越來越孤獨與不快。因此，作為子女，無論多忙，我們都應該花時間與父母聊天，陪伴他們，因為他們曾經給了我們無私的愛，我們應當以同樣的愛回報父母。

One glance at the cartoon can leave the viewer in awe of its beauty and splendor. One can only imagine the amount of patience that was required before any of this greatness was to be achieved. Here it is a symbol of strong man, whose character is revealed in crisis and adversity. It goes without saying that adversity is the touchstone of man—the harder the situation is, the more clearly a man’s strength is seen。

This picture reminds me of my father, a most determined and persistent man. He was born in a very poor family in the country, and both of my grandparents were farmers, but he was determined to change his own fate ever since he was a little boy. He studied extremely hard, graduated from high school with distinction and went to study computer sciences in the University. He later became a professor and art expert in computer programming—he could design large-scale programs for supermarkets, hotels, parks and bookstores all by himself. Who can deny that resulted from the determination and perseverance of a most strong person?

The best way to know a strong man, I think, is to let him go through a severe test. Whenever we want to test a man’s character, we should find out whether he could stand adversity, because adversity can always reveal the true character of a man. Some people would give up halfway in the face of what seems to be insurmountable. Men of such a type can hardly expect to succeed. We must take a step by step approach to accomplish everything until we get the final result. (268 words)

這幅漫畫給人印象深刻：頑石夾縫中求生的小草。漫畫寓意著任何偉人在到達成功之前，需要何等的耐心和堅毅的品質。小草象征一個堅強的人，其頑強的性格只有在危機和不幸中才能充分展現。很顯然，不幸是人們成功與否的試金石，一個人的力量只有遭遇困境時才能被激發出來。

這幅圖片讓我想起了我的父親，一位非常有決心和毅力的人。我的父親出生在鄉下一個貧窮的家庭里，他的父母都是農民，但是他從小就決心改變自己的命運。他學習極其刻苦，高中畢業以優異的成績考入大學學習計算機科學。由于他學生時就能為超市、賓館、公園和書店等單位設計計算機管理程序，以至于后來在計算機編程方面成為一名技術專家和教授。誰不認為這是一個堅強的人因擁有決心和毅力而取得成功的典型案例呢？

我認為，識別一個人堅強與否的最好方法是讓其遭受挫折。要想測試一個人的性格品質，應看他是否能承受挫折，因為不幸和挫折可以展示一個人真實的性格品質。有些人在面對看似無法克服的困難時會中途放棄，這類人很難成功。要想取得成功必須采取步步為營的方法，認真完成每件事，堅持到底才能取得最后的成果。
