　　On the Relationship between Environment and Economy

　　The two pictures above are both about the relationship between the environment and the economic development. In the first picture， GDP is on the rise while the environment is drastically polluted. In the second picture， economic efficiency progresses with environmental protection. It‘s easy to get the conclusion that development according to the second picture is more reasonable than that in the first one.

　　In the early development of socialism， our country didn‘t pay much attention to the issue of environmental protection and savored the bitterness. Now， the government has taken many measures and is implementing the strategy of“sustainable development”。 One aspect of the strategy is to develop the economy and take measures to protect the environment at the same time. In this way， we can develop our country in a sustainable manner and our offspring can have enough resources to develop society. If we don’t put much emphasis on the environment issue and excavate the natural resources blindly， our country will become a barren land sooner or later.

　　In a word， sustainable development is a reasonable strategy which should be implemented for a long time. The nature is providing us with plentiful resources generously， but it may punish us severely if we don‘t care her.

　　The two pictures look so similar at one glance， but they are totally different. In the first picture， a peasant boy， carrying a heavy bundle of rice straw is out of breath under the great pressure. His hope is to have a school to attend. In the second picture， a student is on his way home from school， a heavy bag of books on his back. What he wishes is that he didn‘t have to go to school any more. How can the two boys at the same age have such different ideas about attending school？

　　The two pictures show some problems in the present education system in China. In the poor countryside， especially in some western parts of China， the education is also poor. There are no buildings for classrooms， let alone good teachers. Children there cannot have regular education. They are sometimes forced to leave their studies because their families cannot afford the necessary fees. However， the situation is totally different in the cities. Almost all the children in the cities can have regular education. They can enjoy the bright classrooms and adequate facilities. But they have their own problems. What they face is the endless homework， which puts so much pressure on them that some students don‘t want to continue their studies.

　　Given the problems above， our government has taken some measures.“The Hope Project”has been in operation to ensure that children in the poor areas can achieve education. Some strategies have also been put into force to reduce the pressure on the students. Teachers are asked not to give too much homework. Emphasis should be put on the improvement of the quality of the students. However， there is a long way to go in the improvement of our education conditions. The whole society should be mobilized to make some contributions to our education.

　　Study the picture above carefully and write an essay entitled“On the Interpersonal Relationship in the Modern World”In the essay， you should （1） describe the picture （2） interpret its meaning （3） give your opinion about the phenomenon .You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. （20 points）

　　The picture is talking about a story about neighborhood. Two ladies living in the opposite apartments say“hello”when they happen to meet each other in the corridor. One of them says，“I moved here 5 years ago， but I never met you before. Could I ask your name please？”The other says，“I have been here for 6 years. How should I call you？”

　　It seems very ridiculous that people living so near don‘t know each other for such a long time. However， this kind of story is performed everywhere. It is the exact reflection of interpersonal relationships in the modern world. In the modern world， most people live in apartments. They close their doors and never go out as soon as they get home from work. If they live alone， they will kill their time by watching TV or reading magazines. They don’t have any connections even with their closest neighbors， who seem no different from people they meet everyday in the street. They become more and more indifferent.

　　This phenomenon is no good to us， nor to our society. People will feel lonely more and more. The world becomes so indifferent. Interpersonal relationships are not harmonious. It‘s time that we took some measures to improve it. People living in the same zone can be organized to have some activities together. We should call on people to be friendly to each other. As a popular song says，“If everybody gives a little love to each other， the world will become the sea of love.
