Directions:
How can we meet the needs of today without diminishing the capacity of future generations to meet theirs? Sustainable development implies a broad view of human welfare, a long term perspective about social development. Write an essay which should cover:
1) describing the set of drawings below,
2) stating its main idea, and
3) giving your comment.
You should write about 160-200 words.
As can be seen from the above drawings, the father has planted a small tree that grows into a big one and is left to his son to enjoy. Years later, his son sits under the big tree enjoying its shade.
In social development, we should not over utilize our natural resources, as in the case of forests. A reasonable use of forests and reforestation are the best choices in the long run. Human beings should plan ahead when it comes to social development. Even though trees are in short demand today, we must still keep the deforestation under control, for we do not want to eliminate all of our forests, which are essential to our existence. Reforestation is another wise practice. We may not fully benefit from planting trees for the time being, but we must continue doing so, since it will benefit later generations.
From the point of view of sustainable development, we have the responsibility to ensure that future generations have enough natural resources to use and are not penalized for the shortsightedness of present day decision makers. In other words, we should not use up our natural resources just to meet our own present day needs, while ignoring the future of our planet.

画中可见，一位父亲种了一棵小树，这棵小树将长成参天大树，他的儿子将会从中受益。多年以后，他的儿子坐在树下享受着大树带来的阴凉。
在社会发展中，我们不能过度使用自然资源，比如说森林资源。从长远来说对森林的合理利用和植树造林是最好的选择。人类应当为社会发展做长远的打算。尽管木材在当今社会十分短缺，我们也必须控制滥砍滥伐，因为我们不愿看到森林这一人类赖以生存的基础被彻底用尽。植树造林无疑是又一项英明的举措。我们也许暂时不能够充分享受植树给我们带来的益处，但是我们必须继续将这一举措坚持下去，因为它会使我们的后代受益。
从可持续发展的角度来看，我们有责任来保障后代有丰富的自然资源可利用，并且不会使他们因今天决策者的目光短浅而受到惩罚。换句话说，我们不应该仅为满足我们自己当前的需要而用尽所有的自然资源，忽视我们后代的需求。医学 全在.线提供

Directions: Study the following set of cartoons carefully and write an essay in which you should
1) describe the cartoons,
2) interpret its meaning, and
3) point out its implications in our life.
You should write about 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and casually discards the peels on the street, unaware of the fact that such actions not only pollute the environment but also pose a danger to others. In the next illustration a disabled man struggles to properly dispose of the trash she has left behind.
Being well dressed is of great importance in keeping a good appearance. The way a person is dressed helps him to have a good appearance, which conveys his confidence and attitudes towards life. However, we should always bear this in mind: dont judge a person by his appearance. Ones confidence and good impression on others does not usually develop from the way one dresses or looks, but the inner qualities one possesses. Because of this, the old man is displaying a more beautiful virtue even though he is disabled and somewhat ugly physically compared with the young girl.
No doubt beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eyes. A nice, pretty girl is regarded as beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked upon as beautiful. However, beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. The virtues of the Chinese people are regarded as beautiful, because they have helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. In a word, we should not only pay attention to our physical appearance, but also improve our heart and soul.
译文
漫画中描绘了一个穿着入时的女孩把香蕉皮随手丢弃在地上，而不是把它放入垃圾桶内。之后，一位年长的残疾人把它拾起放入了垃圾桶。穿着漂亮固然能够展现美丽的外表。一个人的穿着方式有助于其拥有漂亮的外表，这体现了一个人对生活的信心和态度。然而，我们应该始终记住这样的原则：不以貌取人。一个人的自信和良好的形象往往不只在于她的长相和穿着，而在于她的内在品质。正因如此，这位拥有高尚道德的长者看起来要比这位时髦女孩更加美丽，尽管他有残疾而他的外表也比不上这位年轻的女孩。
毫无疑问，美丽是指那些吸引人们目光的东西。一个漂亮迷人的女孩是美丽，一束盛开的鲜花同样是美丽，一个壮观的瀑布从山上飞流直下也是美丽。然而，美丽还指那些能够吸引人们思想的东西。中华民族的传统美德是美丽，因为正是这样的美德才孕育了世界上如此灿烂的文化。 一言以蔽之，我们不仅要只注意自己的外表，同时也要使我们的心灵得到升华。
