2008年真題~ In your essay, you should 1) describe the drawing briefly 2) explain its intended meaning, and then 3) give your comments. 450)=450"> Hints: self-evident John Adams Greek Aesop's Fables
As is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon, supporting each other with their firm hands, two handicapped adolescents are continuing their new journey on the ground. Crutches left behind, they have successfully cracked the hard nut of lameness which might have confused the majority of the disabled. The caption indicates, "You have merely one leg and so do I. Helping each other, we can travel all around." Undoubtedly, we can deduce from the portrayal that the cartoonist is trying to attract our attention to the issue of cooperation. According to a survey conducted among a group of people who were in the same college class ten years ago, those who are ready to give their cooperation to others all became rich or managers of all fields, while not a single young man having difficulty in getting along with their classmates becomes an executive or a boss. Why those who are excellent in team work tend to be managers or run their own enterprise in their later life? The answer seems self-evident. On the one hand, if you are competent in profession but have difficulty in getting along with your colleagues and even your boss, you can hardly survive the corporation. On the other hand, your chances of success are much higher with wide circle of friends who are willing to corporate with you to provide information and resources. It is my view that, first and foremost, we can frequently use the drawing to enlighten the juvenile to learn to cooperate successfully with each other. Furthermore, whatever difficulty or situation we are confronted with, those who have the spirit of cooperation and team work are nearer to success. Just as John Adams, the second U.S. president quoted from the ancient Greek Aesop's Fables, "United we stand, divided we fall."
如漫畫(huà)中象征性所示,兩個(gè)殘疾的年輕人用有力的雙手互相攙扶,正在打的上開(kāi)始新的旅程。他們將拐杖拋在身后,成功的解決了可能困擾大多數(shù)殘疾人的難題。文字說(shuō)明顯示:“你一條腿,我一條腿。你我一起,走南闖北?!?毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),我們能從這幅漫畫(huà)中看出,作者正在吸引我們重視合作的問(wèn)題。根據(jù)針對(duì)十年前曾在同一大學(xué)班級(jí)中的一群人進(jìn)行的調(diào)查,那些樂(lè)于和他人合作的人都富裕起來(lái)或成為各行各業(yè)的經(jīng)理,而沒(méi)有一個(gè)難以與同班同學(xué)相處的人成為管理人員或老板。為什么那些擅長(zhǎng)團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的人后來(lái)能成為經(jīng)理或經(jīng)營(yíng)自己的企業(yè)呢?答案似乎不言自明。一方面,如果你只是勝任工作,但和你的同事甚至老板相處困難,你公司中就很難生存。另一方面,如果大批朋友愿意與你合作并愿意為你提供信息和資源,你成功的幾率就會(huì)大很多。 首先,我認(rèn)為我們可以經(jīng)常利用這幅漫畫(huà)來(lái)啟發(fā)青少年們學(xué)會(huì)成功地相互合作。其次,無(wú)論我們面臨何種困難或境地,那些具有合作與團(tuán)隊(duì)精神的人更容易成功。正如美國(guó)第二任總統(tǒng)約翰.亞當(dāng)斯所引用的古希臘《伊索寓言》中的名言:“合則存,分則敗。”
