【正文】 either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work’s needs. However, it seems rather ironic to use a chain instead of normal wire to connect with the mouse in this picture. The exaggerative and impressive portrayal has subtly revealed the duality of the relationship between man and Inter. Discussion on the duality has bee very popular in newspapers or in people’s chats. On the one hand, no one denies that Inter is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life. As a college student, I get on line every day to learn the news, to study English by registering for web courses and to exchange information through s with my friends. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to Inter to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle. Consequently, many students just chat on line or play puter games immoderately every day, skipping many important classes. Such a waste of time inevitably leads to their failure in the exams. Therefore, it is necessary for us to use Inter in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. After all， Inter is invented to enrich our life, to connect you and me, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain. （ 248 words） 2 Directions: Study the following drawing carefully and write an essay in which you should first describe the drawing briefly。 注： Beckham（貝克漢姆）：英國足球明星。 the greenhouse epitomizes parents’ doting care and abundant material supplies that can shield the children from the storms, or the harsh reality. Once the young people begin to seek independence and accept challenges from the real world, they are found too spoiled to be strong enough in the face of difficulties. Accordingly, it is vital for us to derive positive implications from these thoughtprovoking drawings. On the one hand, we can frequently use them to enlighten the youth to be more independent in life. On the other hand, parents should be sensible enough to give their children more freedom to deal with troubles and problems. Only by undergoing more challenges and toils in adversity can young people cultivate strong personality and ability, and only in this way can they bee winners in this petitive world. （ 272） 14. It is vividly depicted in the cartoon that a boy is running along the racetrack with painstaking efforts, sweat pouring down his face. After a long journey, he is making the final spurt toward the finishing line, with strong determination to bee the champion. Undoubtedly the cartoon conveys the meaning that life is like the process of running in which one should make constant efforts and never stop making progress. Owing to the quickening pace of life, petition goes increasingly fierce in all walks of life, stimulating everyone to pursue one goal after another. Once a person stops making progress, he can hardly maintain his past glory and survive in this petitive world. Generally speaking, neither a country nor a person can remain stagnant. A case in point is the successful launching of “Shenzhou V Spacecraft” which sets china in a high position of aviation and space flight. Although it means a great achievement for us Chinese, we are facing new challenges in the future and need to do further research in space technology. Another illustration is closely related to us, the examinees. If we pass this test and are fortunately admitted by a university, we shall not stop making efforts. On the whole, these examples effectively clarify the saying that “destination is another starting point.” （ 216） 1 As is vividly depicted in the cartoon, four children are playing a “football match” of taking care of their aged father. Each of them stands in a different corner of a football field. The eldest son kicked out the father with the other three children guarding their goals. The purpose of the drawing is to show us that due attention has to be paid to the mistreatment of senior citizens. First and foremost, some people shirk their duty of financially
