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)

这幅图描绘了一个悲剧的场景：森林中，一只兔子正向幼兔讲述过去的事情，在它们周围到处都是刚被砍掉的大树留下的树桩，而且这些树桩仿佛也在悲叹失去的生活天堂。

这幅漫画的目的在于质问一个严重的森林环境破坏问题，这其中有许多原因。首先，没有人可以忽略这一事实，木材是工业生产和人们生活中不可或缺的一种原材料；其次，不断扩张的人口规模需要更多的生存空间，而森林往往是人类需求的第一个选择。因此，在全世界范围内，森林正在经历致命性的毁灭。

现在，越来越多的人开始意识到森林对于保持生态平衡所起的重要作用，而对森林的破坏将会对全球环境造成不可逆转的影响。因此，我们必须采取紧急和有效的措施来制止这一砍伐森林的趋势。例如，我们已经有一些被证明为有效的措施，如建立自然环境保护区，发明替代木材的产品等。另外，森林的保护和恢复是一项复杂的系统工程，需要全社会对环保问题的共同和全面的关注。

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.

漫画中生动地展示了一对老人带着失望与悲伤坐在椅子上，因为没人回来和他们一起庆祝节日。虽然他们收到了子女的许多礼物，但他们感到非常孤独，也没什么胃口，因为他们最需要的并非这些物质的东西，而是子女们的关爱。

在现代社会中，年轻人看起来如此忙碌，以至于无法抽空来陪伴父母。他们大多搬出去独自居住，每天忙于自己的事务。在平常的日子里，他们以忙为借口，不愿意花时间去探望父母。在一些节日，他们可能只留一点时间去看望父母或是如漫画中所示的仅仅送些礼物表示心意而无法与父母团聚。他们认为礼物可以代表他们的爱意，但是，对于含辛茹苦把他们养育大的父母来说，这些礼物远远不是他们所期望的。

随着经济的快速发展，年迈的父母们感到越来越孤独与不快。因此，作为子女，无论多忙，我们都应该花时间与父母聊天，陪伴他们，因为他们曾经给了我们无私的爱，我们应当以同样的爱回报父母。

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)

这幅漫画给人印象深刻：顽石夹缝中求生的小草。漫画寓意着任何伟人在到达成功之前，需要何等的耐心和坚毅的品质。小草象征一个坚强的人，其顽强的性格只有在危机和不幸中才能充分展现。很显然，不幸是人们成功与否的试金石，一个人的力量只有遭遇困境时才能被激发出来。

这幅图片让我想起了我的父亲，一位非常有决心和毅力的人。我的父亲出生在乡下一个贫穷的家庭里，他的父母都是农民，但是他从小就决心改变自己的命运。他学习极其刻苦，高中毕业以优异的成绩考入大学学习计算机科学。由于他学生时就能为超市、宾馆、公园和书店等单位设计计算机管理程序，以至于后来在计算机编程方面成为一名技术专家和教授。谁不认为这是一个坚强的人因拥有决心和毅力而取得成功的典型案例呢？

我认为，识别一个人坚强与否的最好方法是让其遭受挫折。要想测试一个人的性格品质，应看他是否能承受挫折，因为不幸和挫折可以展示一个人真实的性格品质。有些人在面对看似无法克服的困难时会中途放弃，这类人很难成功。要想取得成功必须采取步步为营的方法，认真完成每件事，坚持到底才能取得最后的成果。
