Directions:Study the following picture carefullyand write an essay in which you should
1) describe the picture,
2) interpret itsmeaning, and
3) support your view with examples.
One glance at a pyramid can leave the viewer in awe of its beauty and splend or. Uponcloser examination, however, one might be surprised to discover that such a grandiosestructure is composed entirely of ordinary stones.
Most people are familiar with the proverb: Rome was not built in a day. An object as grandas a pyramid is likewise not so quickly or easily constructed. Just as the greatness of the cityof Rome is due to the combination of its smaller parts, a pyramid is only as strong as thestones it is comprised of. The image of a pyramid reminds us that great success is in fact anaccumulation of small a chievements.
History proves that many famous artists and scientists are only successful because of theircontinued efforts, even after numerous failures. One might recall Leonardo DaVinci's drawing ofan egg, Wang Xi Zhi practicing handwriting, or Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb, forexample. The fable that tells us that even water can eventually pierce through stone alsopoints to the importance of patience and diligence. We should take such stories and historiesinto account and remember the importance of fundamentals; remember that one can build apyramid only if one is willing to work with small stones. People would be wise to abandonrash inclinations and instead try in earnest. Perseverance is sure to leadto success.

Most viewers can empathize with the sense of hesitation and uncertainty embodied insuch an image. Without exception, everyone has to make choices in life, whether they concernschool, career, or love. While some choices are simple, one cannot avoid the task of makingdifficult decisions.

2) stating its main idea, and

The images above are both meaningful and instructive: this man's hard work is not only forhis own benefit, but also for the benefit of future generations.
The pictures serve to remind us that the existence of our current happiness and valuablenational heritage is due to the struggles of our predecessors.
We, in turn, should also work hard in order to guarantee the comfort and safety ofgenerations to come. Sustainable development has become a topic of heated debate in recentyears. While it is justifiable to satisfy current demands, we cannot neglect the needs of ourdescendants in the process. Our children also depend on Earth's natural resources and weshould not deprive them of such necessities.
Unfortunately, many people only think of their short?term, personal interests. An entireforest might be clear?cut, in the interest of making a profit, without a single tree planted in itsplace. This inconsiderate attitude towards the welfare of our descendants, as well theindifference to the outcome of such reckless actions, can only turn Earth into a cold andlifeless planet. People must be taught to appreciate Earth as not only their home, but also thehome of our children and grandchildren, as well as all other plants and animals.
While making great efforts to increase our current quality of life, we must simultaneouslyconsider how our actions will affect future lives.

1)现在各种各样的电视选秀节目吸引了许多年轻人，

Attending TV PK Shows Does No Good toYoung People
Nowadays, TV PK shows are great hits in China and have attracted a large number ofadolescents. Some youngsters even give up their studies to attend these shows in the hope ofwinning their fame overnight. Some people argue that these shows provide young people morechance to show talents, while others assume that attending these shows does no good to thejuvenile. As for me, I prefer to the latter opinion.
It should be admitted that some young people like Li Yuchun has stood out from thenumerous attendants in the PK show, but that doesn’t mean attending the PK shows is agood way to become successful for teenagers. The following reasons can support my view. Firstand foremost, TV PK shows breed restlessness and induce young people to hunt after fameat whatever cost. Furthermore, TV PK shows can subvert the youngsters’ values. They clingto the idea that attending the PK shows is a shortcut to success, so they may despise the wayof achieving success by hard work. Finally, if the young fail in these shows, they will suffer apsychological unbalance.
In a word, entering for TV PK shows is not a good way for young people to achievesuccess. I hold the opinion that young people should think twice before deciding to attend PKshows.
