In the cartoon, a young, well?dressed girl thew a banana peel onto the ground instead of the garbage bin. Afterwards an old, disabled man put it into the garbage bin. ?
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: don't judge a person by his appearance. One's 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.

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。

范文1：??
Groups of bees work together to produce honey. Their great efforts are not selfish, however, as the amount of honey they produce is for an entire group rather than a single individual. ?
The drawing above suggests that people should selflessly dedicate themselvesto their community as a whole. This spirit of dedication requires faith. Selfless hard work is an embodiment of responsibility and strength. ?
The health of nations requires a spirit of devotion. Chinese teachers, doctors and athletes who all work for the benefit of their country, for example, aredevoting themselves regardless of fame or fortune. They are dedicated to the society they live within. No matter what type of job one holds, one should work hard and in earnest to improve one's community. ?
The results of dedication, however, depend not only on ?one's? willingness to give but also on one's ability. If you are enthusiastic about devoting yourself to your country, but do not have the skills it takes to do so, you cannot effect much change. The more competent, one is, the greater one's contribution. Therefore, it is essential that students focus on their studies and enhance their skills in order to properly give back to society.

成群结队的蜜蜂在一起酿蜜，它们付出这样大的辛劳并不是为自己，而是因为它们酿出的蜜可以为整个群体而非个人所享用。?
上面的这幅画启发人们应该无私地把自己奉献给整个社会。奉献精神要求人们拥有信念，忘我的工作是责任和力量的化身。?
国家的兴旺需要奉献精神。例如我国的教师、医生或是运动员，他们都在为祖国利益而操劳，他们奉献出自己不是为了出名或得利。 他们献身于自己的社会。不管一个人从事什么样的工作，他都应该为了改善社会而努力积极地工作。?
但一个人的奉献所能取得的成效，并不仅仅只取决于他乐于奉献，还取决于他自身的能力。如果你满腔热忱地想献身于祖国，但却没有所需的技能，那你也不会做出大的贡献。一个人的能力越大，那他能做出的贡献就越大。所以，对学生来说最主要的是要把注意力集中到学习上，增强自己的技能，以待有朝一日能以适当的方式报效社会。

We can see from the drawing, a swarm of bees flying here and there busily working to produce honey, which will be enjoyed by human beings rather than themselves. ?
Human beings show more respect to bees than to other animals, not for their diligence, but for their dedication to others. We live in a materialistic society and are trained from our earliest years to be greedy. We are taught early on to be materialistic and taught to consider things, or to be exact, money, “mine” or “yours”. It seems impossible to live in the modern society without money. Money is even regarded as a symbol of wealth and social position. There is a saying that goes, “money makes a mare go.” People seem to look more highly upon ones' possession of money rather than one's dedication to society. ?
Some people pursue their own personal benefits at the cost of others. Some people always ask for payment after their “dedication”. Dedication and expecting nothing in return is the highest level of devotion. Lei Feng's spirit of dedication is such a typical example. Bees produce honey as a result of their hard work to the human beings without asking for any repayment. That is why we respect bees. Dedication can bring us happiness and a sense of fulfillment. One who devotes himself to society and people will have a lot of enjoyment from the process of dedication.

我们从这幅画中可以看到，一群蜜蜂飞来飞去忙着采蜜，它们不是为了自己享受，而是为了给人类酿造甜美的蜂蜜。比起其他动物人们更加尊重蜜蜂，不是因为它们的勤劳，而是因为它们的奉献精神。我们生活在一个物质社会，从小就受到了贪婪索取的训练。早期物质方面的教育使我们从小就对 “你的”和“我的”东西，或者具体一点，也就是金钱，泾渭分明。在当今社会，没有钱是不能生存的。金钱甚至被看作是财富和社会地位的象征。俗话说，“有钱能使鬼推磨。”人们似乎更看中一个人财富的多少，而不是这个人对社会贡献的大小。?
有些人为了追求自己的利益而不惜牺牲他人的利益。有些人在所谓的“奉献”过后总是索取回报。只奉献不求索取才是奉献的最高境界。雷锋的奉献精神就是一个典型的例子。蜜蜂用它们的辛勤劳动为人类酿造了甜美的蜂蜜，却从不求索取，不图回报。这正是人们尊重蜜蜂的原因。奉献能给我们带来幸福和成就感。奉献于社会和人民的那些人也一定会从奉献中得到极大的快乐。

范文1：??
In the black and white drawing above, a youth gravely contemplates a narrow winding path heading into a forest. Perhaps he thinks that his own future may be much like this path; full of bends and curves, thorns and traps. The road to success is never anything but uneven and difficult. ?
In fact, one could even say that the more successful one's life is, the more problems and hardships one must have overcome. The ability to work through difficult situations and unfortunate events only makes one stronger and more capable. Given that the road to happiness always contains obstacles and setbacks, we should be well prepared for the hardships that life inevitably brings, and abandon the idea that life is smooth or easy. We must accept the fact that failures are unavoidable, whether they are failures in examinations, in finding a job, or carrying out a task. People who accept that their life will not always be simple or calm are better able to handle problems when they arise. Those who are upset by each and every small setback — and there are many people with such attitudes— do not have much potential. Failure is mother to success as it can strengthen one's will. Those who can draw lessons from failure are destined for success.

在上面黑白的图画中，一个年轻人严肃地凝望着前方蜿蜒曲折通向森林的小路。也许他想到了自己的未来就像这条小路一样，充满曲折、荆棘和陷阱。通向成功之路从来都是艰辛和不平坦的。?
事实上，甚至可以说一个人的人生越成功，那他必须战胜的艰难和困苦就会越多。在困境和不幸中奋进的能力，只会让一个人更坚强，更有才干。既然通向幸福的道路总是会有障碍和挫折的话，那么我们就应该为生命中无法避免的艰难做好充分准备，而放弃认为生命意味着平稳和安逸的想法。我们必须接受这个事实——失败是不可避免的，而无论它是考试失利、求职受挫还是工作失败。人们如果承认他们的生活并不总是单纯和平静的，他们就会在问题出现的时候处理得更好，而那些出现一点挫折就心烦意乱的人——很多人持有这样的生活态度——没有太大的潜力。失败是成功之母在于它能增强一个人的意志。那些能从失败中吸取教训的人是注定会成功的。

It is everyone's wish to have things go their way. Yet the journey throughlife is not always the case and we should be prepared for the twists and turns it offers us. This is certainly the case as shown in the cartoon. ?
Twists and turns are a part of life and setbacks often happen. For many reasons, we often have to encounter failure in a complex society. No one can avoid or escape these unexpected changes in our daily lives; however, failure may be aroute toward success. This causes us to reflect about what happened and as a result we build up and accumulate experience. We are then more likely to come up with a possible solution, and so twists and turns can turn into treasures. Edison,for instance, the inventor of the electric light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he came up with the right one. In general it is failure that encourages us to work harder which eventually leads to success. ?
Twists and turns in life are unavoidable and are not always bad. We should have a more optimistic view on life and try to make the most of it and draw lessons from the bumps and turns ?along? the way.
译文：??
每个人都希望生活一帆风顺。但是，人生旅途并非永远如此，正像画中所描绘那样，我们应该对生活中的曲折和坎坷做好准备。这正是这幅图画所描述的。?挫折与坎坷也是生活中的一部分，逆境时有发生。出于许多原因，在复杂的社会中我们经常要面对失败。没有人能够避免和逃脱日常生活不期而遇的变故。然而，失败往往是通向成功之路。因为失败会引发我们更多的思考，我们也会因此而积累更多的经验。之后，我们就会更容易地找到解决问题的方法。因此,挫折与坎坷也是人生的财富。例如，电灯的发明者爱迪生在他成功之前曾经经历过成百上千次的失败。总的来说，正是失败才使我们加倍努力工作，最后取得成功。?
人生中的挫折与坎坷是不可避免的，但它们并非总是坏事。我们应该用更加乐观的态度对待生活，并充分加以利用，从挫折中吸取教训。
