5、lative far off is less help than a neighbor close by. “ And the picture gives a perfect illustration of neighborhood: two housewives who live opposite the corridor in the same building are warmly inviting each other to taste their food. At first sight, the drawing seems to praise the harmonious rela
6、tionship between neighbors, but by a careful consideration it is most likely that the drawer means to insinuate a common phenomenon in todays society: people living in the same building do not know or never speak to each other. It goes without saying that its symbolic message that indifference among
7、 people should be cleared up, has gone beyond the picture itself.Why do we lay much emphasis upon this? For one thing, the great mobility of people makes it difficult to sustain long intimate relationships. For another, people today are too busy and exhausted to start and keep serious long-term rela
8、tionships. And a-bove all, modern means of entertainment and communication, such as TV, the internet, and mobile phones, etc. make people spend for less time actually interacting with people around them.It is, therefore, imperative that effective steps should be made to narrow and bridge the gap amo

On one hand, personal w
12、eaknesses, including underachievement, prejudice against physical labor and the lack of independence, play a role. Moreover, with great expectation in minds the parents wont see their only kid toil like beasts of burden in sweatshops, mushroomed everywhere in China. On the other hand, since no state
13、-assigned jobs are availabe, college graduates must hunt for jobs in the overcrowed job-market, where nepotism, corruption and laborer abuse are all but common. Worse still, employers are fussy about experience that NEETs dont have. Life is tough and they cannot afford housing or get jobs that allow
14、 them to lead independent lives. So they have to live with their parents help for some time.To solve the problem, we may adopt the following measures. To begin with, we should teach the youth to establish a correct outlook on life. Besides, the youth should be given some necessary career advice and
15、encouragement. Last but not least, the government should take strict measures to protect a healthy job-market. Only in this way, can we halt the phenomenon that the picture depicts.【知识模块】 短文写作3 【正确答案】 Water is vital to human beings. Medical experts say that people can survive 30 days without food, b

As it is shown in the picture, many people are dying of thirst as there will be all dry land and no drops of water available, even if Death is powerless for he also longs for water dreadfully.The drawer of the cartoon raises a serious environmental problem in
17、the 21th century, namely, the water shortage. There are two major reasons for the problem.

21、作4 【正确答案】 As a popular saying goes, you win some and lose some. What the saying implies seems to be that content is happiness, which, however, not all can understand. The picture above depicts the situation; when a man is holding a large package to leave, he was detained by his angry wife because of
22、 a tiny package he had lost. The moral that words on the picture reveal is that people feel unhappy because they always care about the loss but ignore what they win. In other word, people are never satisfied with what they already have had both physically and mentally.Someone may argue that the sens
23、e of dissatisfaction stimulates people to greater efforts. People of different ages, different sexes, and different professions have their own dreams, and they always have high levels of aspiration and want to make more achievements. The ever-emerging desires of various kinds promote people to seek
24、challenges and strive for excellence in everything they do. But others hold that the sense of dissatisfaction might bring undesirable effects to oneself or the society. Unsatisfied people who are not capable of realizing their life dreams might lose self-respect and invite self-destruction, or make
25、troubles to society and commit crimes.As far as I am concerned, content is the root of happiness which is the source of our physical and mental health. If we ignore what we have won in pursuit of what lost, and make us always be in a state of unhealthy anxiety because of worrying a-bout personal gains and losses, this would be tantamount to picking the sesame seeds but overlooking the watermelons, which is not worth the candle!【知识模块】 短文写作
