However, straight ahead lies a sign which indicates a new \［图画图 表描述段〕 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, competition 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 competitive world? As Deng Xiaoping, the great Chinese leader said, \only way： No matter how powerful a country is, no matter how successful a specific institution, it will definitely seek new development in high speed.

The painter wants to tell us that, just like running, whatever we are doing, we should never stop
making progress. The ending point just means a new starting point at which we should set new goals and continue to pursue them. This view is absolutely right in every sense* First and foremost, it applies to individuals as in such a competitive world everybody is trying to get ahead? Furthermore, corporation and organizations of any kind should also embrace this view, for they act as an independent person in the market and should always look ahead for new opening and possibilities to enhance business. Last but not least, the country on the whole should move forward in terms of politics, economy, and culture so that we China as a nation can gain sustained respect from other peoples?［意义阐释段］
Examples to prove the view are abundant The most persuasive are the cases of famous athletes like Fu Mingxia and Deng Yaping, whose success is gained through non-stop efforts. It goes without saying that if they had been content with being just a regional or national champion and stopped practicing, they would nt have accomplished so much and become world-famous. By contrast, a lot of people choose to take a rest to enjoy their small success and thus lose the motivation for further achievement. Similarly, plenty of companies are merged by bigger and more powerful ones just because they are oveijoyed with their small profits and unaware of the danger posed by more ambitious rivals. In sum, keeping making progress should be the right attitude towards life and work for everybody and even for a country?［举例论证段］

As is shown in the first cartoon, the flower is placed in a comfortable greenhouse which shelters it from the threatening lightening and storm. With proper temperature, moisture and fertilizer, the flower is growing in full bloom. On the contrary, when removed from the greenhouse and exposed to the driving rain, the flower soon fades and withers（木古萎），with the petals cast about on the grounds. ［S画图表描述段］
To begin with, the purpose of the drawings is to show us that the flower growing in the
greenhouse cannot withstand the test of the storm, yet the symbolic meanings subtly conveyed should be taken more seriously. The delicate flower is naturally associated with young people, to be specific, the only children in our current society; the greenhouse epitomizes（缩影）parents dotingG弱爱）care and abundant material supplies that can shield the children from the storms, or the harsh real ity. 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?［意义阐
