2008年真题~ 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."
如漫画中象征性所示，两个残疾的年轻人用有力的双手互相搀扶，正在打的上开始新的旅程。他们将拐杖抛在身后，成功的解决了可能困扰大多数残疾人的难题。文字说明显示：“你一条腿，我一条腿。你我一起，走南闯北。” 毫无疑问，我们能从这幅漫画中看出，作者正在吸引我们重视合作的问题。根据针对十年前曾在同一大学班级中的一群人进行的调查，那些乐于和他人合作的人都富裕起来或成为各行各业的经理，而没有一个难以与同班同学相处的人成为管理人员或老板。为什么那些擅长团队合作的人后来能成为经理或经营自己的企业呢？答案似乎不言自明。一方面，如果你只是胜任工作，但和你的同事甚至老板相处困难，你公司中就很难生存。另一方面，如果大批朋友愿意与你合作并愿意为你提供信息和资源，你成功的几率就会大很多。 首先，我认为我们可以经常利用这幅漫画来启发青少年们学会成功地相互合作。其次，无论我们面临何种困难或境地，那些具有合作与团队精神的人更容易成功。正如美国第二任总统约翰.亚当斯所引用的古希腊《伊索寓言》中的名言：“合则存，分则败。”
