　　As is illustrated in the picture, the two disabled persons whose crippled legs are bound together do a lot of traveling. Accordingly, this far-reaching picture reflects a common phenomenon in today’s society: the people who are in the dark want to turn the corner but they can not make it respectively and in turn they have to choose to pull together in times of trouble.
　　There are several reasons accounting for this. Since we have to live in an on-the-move lifestyle, we may encounter various plights, where we would be at a loss rather than to seek for others’ assistance. Further more, if we do not offer help to each other when we confront dilemma, we would not realize our dream. And no issue in China is as basic to build up the society in harmony as to conduct coordination in face of disasters.
　　Judging from what have been argued above, people have come to realize the value of mutual aid. It is, therefore, necessary that some effective steps be made to advocate spirit of supporting each other. To begin with, the government should make laws to encourage people to unite. In addition, people should enhance the awareness of caring each other especially when they are in trouble. Only in those ways, can we make people, even not being acquaintance, help each other.

 

正确答案：
本题漫画中，一个大圈被分成若干格，每个格里都有一个人在上网。人们通过网络联系起来，形成一张如同蜘蛛网的错综复杂的关系网。再由题目《网络的“近”与“远”》，可以想到漫画含义涉及网络的两个方面，一方面，网络拉近了人们之间的距离，足不出户便可进行交流;但另一方面，由于人们越来越依赖网络，面对面交流的机会越来越少了。
　　围绕这一主题，根据提纲要求，本文结构设计如下：
　　根据提纲中的信息1) describe the drawing briefly 第一段对漫画进行简单描述;
　　根据提纲中的信息2) explain its intended meaning 第二段揭示漫画的含义，从正反两方面论述，一方面，网络为人们提供了便利的条件，使人们的交流更加便捷和迅速;另一方面，人们的现实交流越来越少了，感情似乎也疏远了。
　　根据提纲中的信息3) give your comments 第三段表明作者的看法，即网络使社会成员的联系更加紧密，但在一定程度上也疏远了人们之间的关系。
　　SAMPLE
　　The above picture gives a vivid description of a huge spider web which symbolizes Internet. There’s no doubt that Internet, an entirely new way of communication, is becoming so popular nowadays that it’s difficult to imagine modern life without it. It has revolutionized the way of people’s living and thinking, and has exerted a profound effect on our daily life.
　　Definitely, the symbolic meaning of the picture subtly conveyed should be taken into deep consideration. First of all, with the Internet, it is convenient and fast for people to have access to a variety of information and what they need to do is just to press key buttons. What’s more, the great utility of the Internet allow people within a company, across a nation or even around the world to work together. Finally, we can do almost everything via Internet. Specifically, we can conduct E-business, advertise our products, book an air ticket, buy and sell stocks, even hunt a new job through clicking the mouse. Nevertheless, it is a two-edged sword as well and has its own negative effects. Some people tend to spend hours on Internet for the sake of relaxation and develop addictions. As a result, the public have an emotional distance sometimes and thus few face-to-face communications in reality due to Internet addiction without self-restriction.
From what have been discussed above, it is clear that with a personal computer and modem, any individual can call up information about almost anything from almost anywhere and almost anytime on the web. All in all, Internet, an indispensable part in modern life, has the power to connect people and, yet, to some extent, alienate people in reality.

A Helpless Father

The picture ironically shows that a pitiable old man in rags is being helplessly kicked off by his three sons and a daughter, who all wear decent clothes. The father’s negligent children are all guarding their home gates lest their old father “roll into” their households. In other words, they four ignore their moral sense of assuming the responsibility for their old father even though they may be all living a satisfying life. That is a painful scene we often encounter in our daily life.

Sad to say, the moral decline of the younger generations may be a rather explosive situation in our modern society. People definitely have their living conditions improved by wider and wider margins, as evidenced by the four children’s decent dressing, but their moral sense still remains sadly unchanged or in some cases becomes dramatically downgrading. Most people might have become too much self-centered, and even worse, they discard the tradition of giving respect to the elderly. They no longer care for their elders, let alone their neighbors or the disadvantaged; instead they try every means to avoid responsibility for other citizens. When one cares for others, one might even appear stupid or may even be distrusted.

Therefore, we have to take some useful measures to avoid the scene that is mentioned above. We must launch a variety of campaigns about the return to the good tradition of giving help and love the elderly. Moreover, we must appeal to our government to establish some relevant laws to punish those who avoid their duties. The last but not the least, our respect for age is an indication of the progress of human society, as imperatives of traditions require. We sincerely wish that the old man could be welcome to any of the four households, elegantly dressed, and a smile on the face.

参考答案：Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice，which is truly a tough choice.Students'' opinions differ greatly on this issue.Some hold that priority should be given to start a business of your own, but others take the attitude that finding a job is the best choice influencing their future.
As to myself, I prefer the latter view.An opportunity to start a business exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me.In my view, With the competition in the job market becoming increasingly fierce for college graduates， some ambitious students have tried their hands at launching their own businesses.Over the years，there have been many successful cases of student entrepreneurship and such attempts should be encouraged and promoted by both the universities and the society at large.What’s more ,College students who start businesses are pioneers，among whom will be born China’s future business leaders.Faced with unknown challenges， they are audacious enough to embark on a perilous journey while most of their peers enjoy stable salaries by working as white-collars at high-end office buildings.
All in all, the essential difference between the students who find a job or those students who create their own businesses is that the former are docile followers whereas the latter are aggressive trailblazers.For this reason， business-launching college graduates are more admirable， and thus they command our deep respect.

Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice，which is truly a tough choice.Students'' opinions differ greatly on this issue.Some hold that priority should be given to take a job, but others take the attitude that going to a graduate school is the most critical factor influencing their future career choices.
As to myself, I prefer the latter view.A higher educational background exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me.This phenomenon that the graduates have difficulties in finding job after their graduation can easily be found anywhere in our daily life, especially on campus.On the one hand, with the improved high education of Chinese college students which directly brought the result that there are more and more graduates every year.On the contrary, job vacancies don’t increase that fast.More people, less food, which is the exact deion of the hard condition.On the other hand, more and more people go on to pursue their master and doctor degree; more and more Chinese oversea students come back to China to hunt better working chances.It is sure that the competition is more and more fierce.
Therefore, it is high time that we took effective measures to improve our own competitiveness.That is the secret of success in the future employment market after our graduation.

正确答案：Computer The twentieth century witnessed great changes in the whole world: economic boom industrial development and raise in people's living standards to which technological evolution contributed a lot. Among all those inventions which was the greatest one? Different people have different views. Some think the greatest invention was television while others believe it should be atom energy. But as far as I am concerned in terms of the depth of influence no other inventions can be compared with computers which would remain unrivalled even for another one hundred years. First of all computers save a great deal of effort people spend on calculating. Before computers were invented people had to calculate manually. Sometimes it took scientists weeks even months to work out a result daring the course of which they might make mistakes and the accuracy of data was in turn affected. But with the help of computers people are freed from heavy calculation. It only takes seconds to have a result which used to take weeks in the past. Moreover not only the speed but also the accuracy is improved to a large extent. Computers can also simulate different environments that can't be created in real life. In the science research sometimes scientists need to have a simulation environment to improve their theories or as a basis of further research. Without computers it would be difficult to have accurate and reliable results. But computers can make everything easy. Just input programs and data everything will be done. With computers the storage of information has become easier which in turn has increased the whole world's efficiency. At banks post offices and supermarkets people no longer need to queue for a long time because computers help the working staff increase their work efficiency — files and data stored in computers can be located in a very short time and their chances of getting lost are lowered to a large extent. Computers' influence has been further reinforced with the appearance of Internet which was developed based on the local area network (LAN) of computers. Today Internet has become the fastest developing medium in the world and you can do almost everything you need on it: communicating with friends reading news watching movies listening to music etc. But you must do all the above things on a computer. Although many other inventions of the 20th century brought great convenience to human or changed people's lives computers have the most valuable contribution to human and it will have much more contribution in the future.

  文章本身并不难写，首先要确定自己的观点，就是20世纪最重要的发明是什么。所谓“最应该记住”，就是说它对整个世界的变化影响最大。写作时，可以有两种方法：一种是一一列举该发明的重要性，对社会的发展、人们的生活有什么重大的影响，论证时还可以用反证法说如果没有这种发明世界会怎么样；另外一种就是在列举该发明重要性的同时，将它和其他较为重要的发明进行对比，从而更加凸显其重要性。
