Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing.In your essay, you should:

1)describe the drawing briefly，2)explain its intended meaning, and then

3)state your point of view.In the picture, a man is holding a huge bag which contains those he possesses.Meanwhile, a woman, probably his wife, is scolding him for abandoning another small bag, which symbolizes those he is not able to attain.The woman is quite representative of most of people, who tend to care too much about what they have lost, while ignoring what they have gained.For instance, most individuals realize the importance of health only when they get diseases, while in ordinary days they seldom cherish health.Another example would be those corrupted officials who fear losing any opportunity to make a fortune yet forgetting their own

大家网[] advantages.Napoleon’s failure is a more serious lesson in this case, because he refused to remain content of ruling such a strong country like France but craved for the whole world.As a Chinese saying goes, people can be happy if they constantly feel content.Life would be miserable and stressful if we always focus on the stuff that we lose or that is beyond our reach.If we carefully examine what we already have—health, job, love, parents—we will surely come to realize how fortunate we actually are.图中描绘了一个男人心满意足地抱着一个巨大的袋子，里面装着他已经得到的东西。同时，一个看起来可能是他妻子的女人正在责骂他丢弃了一个小包，这个包象征着他不能得到的东西。

女人代表着大多数人，他们总是关心自己失去的东西，而忽略了他们已经得到的。例如，大多数人只有在生病的时候才意识到健康的重要性，而在平时他们很少珍惜健康。另一个例子是那些生怕失去任何一个发财机会的贪官，但他们却忘了他们已有的很多优势。此外，拿破仑的失败是这方面一个更加严重的教训，因为他不满于统治一个强大的法国，而是觊觎统治整个世界。

中国古语有云，知足者常乐。如果我们太在乎所失去的或者得不到的东西，那么生活就会变得很悲惨而且压力也非常大。相反，如果我们仔细审视自己已经拥有的东西——健康、工作、爱、父母——我们一定能够意识到我们有多么幸运。

1)A third kind of thinking is stimulated when anyone questions our beliefs and opinions.We sometimes find ourselves changing our minds without any resistance or heavy emotion, but if we are told that we are wrong we resent the imputation and harden our hearts.We are incredibly heedless in the information of our beliefs, but find ourselves filled with an illicit passion for them when anyone proposes to rob us of their companionship.It is obvious not the ideas themselves that are dear to us, but our self－esteem, which is threatened.We are by nature stubbornly pledged to defend our own from attack, whether it be our person, our family, our property, or our opinion.We may surrender, but rarely confess ourselves vanquished.In the intellectual world at least, peace is without victory.Few of us take the pains to study the origin of our cherished convictions;indeed, we have a natural repugnance to so doing.We like to continue to believe what we have been accustomed to accept as true, and the resentment aroused when doubt is cast upon any of our assumptions leads us to seek every manner of excuse for clinging to them.The result is that most of our so-called reasoning consists in finding arguments for going on believing as we already do.2)A third kind of thinking occurs when we are told that our beliefs and opinions are wrong.We may have been heedless in their information, but our self-esteem will not permit us to change.We may have to give up, but we are not convinced.We do not study the origin of our beliefs;we believe as we have been accustomed to believe, and we seek arguments for continuing to believe as we already do.（75 words）公告 1.Directions: The Students’ Union of your department is planning an English Speaking Contest.Write an announcement which covers the following information: 1)the purpose of the contest, 2)time and place of the contest, 3)what is required of the candidates, 4)details of the judges and awards.You should write about 100 words.Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter.Use Department of English at the end of the announcement.English-Speaking Contest To improve students’ ability to speak English and enrich after-class activities, the Students’ Union of Department of English is organizing a school-wide English-speaking contest to be held on Tuesday next week(14 January)at the Students’ Recreational Center.Those who are interested in taking part in it may sign up with the monitor of their classes before Friday this week.Five overseas teachers will be invited to be judges.The first six winners will be given awards.Everybody is welcome to be present at the contest.(96 words)The Students’ Union Department of English
