解析:As is shown in the picture, people are crossing the street looking at their cell phones and using walking sticks in order to see. The drawing reflects the increasing use of the mobile phone in people\"s life and the consequences of overusing it. Though that might be a little bit exaggerated, the meaning it presents is really thought-provoking.
With the development of science and technology, the mobile phone plays a more and more important role in people\"s daily life. However, the phenomenon of overusing it also becomes very common. It seems to me that indulging in mobile phones produces negative influences. First and foremost, staring at your smart phone for too long undoubtedly impairs your eyesight. In the second place, overusing mobile phones is a waste of your time, distracting you from your study, work and life. Last but not least, cell phone addiction may hurt your interpersonal relationship since you have less time to communicate face to face with others.
In conclusion, the mobile phone is certainly a useful tool in modem life, but people should use it wisely and avoid overusing it.
2.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay.

You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

解析:As shown in the picture above, the son says, \"Dad, I\"m a bit worried about disposing of nuclear waste.\" Pointing at the full dustbin beside him, his father replies, \"If you can empty the dustbin here, you can do anything!\" The picture shows that the father intends to make his son understand that he should do small things before undertaking big ones.
Doing small things is the necessary step to do something big. By doing small things, people will gain experience and skills, which can lead people to success. Taking Thomas Edison for example, he tested more than 1600 materials to find the right filament. Those over 1600 tests are small things in other people\"s minds; however, without them Thomas Edison couldn\"t have invented the electric light bulb.
I think people shouldn\"t belittle small things. Instead, people should take small things seriously. Just as the old saying goes, \"A journey of thousands of miles may not be achieved without
accumulation of each single step, just as the enormous ocean may not be formed without gathering every brook or stream.\"

(分数:14.00)

Education Pays
As is shown in the bar chart, in 2010, the unemployment rate of people possessing doctoral degree is 1.9%, which is the lowest, and on the contrary, the unemployment rate of people with less than a high school diploma is the highest which is up to 14.9%. Additionally, we can discover that the higher the education level is, the lower the unemployment rate is. Obviously, the bar chart powerfully demonstrates a fact: Education pays.
It\"s not difficult to explain the phenomenon—people with higher education level acquire more advanced knowledge and professional skills, become more competitive among their coworkers, and eventually secure a more stable job. However, people without high degree are easily dismissed because their jobs are easy and can be carried out by many other people.
Under the environment of fierce competition, the recruitment requirements of enterprises become even stricter, and the advantage of good education background becomes highlightened. So, as university students, we should grasp as much knowledge and learn as many skills as we can and prepare ourselves for the future careers.

On Excessive Packaging
Nowadays, excessive packaging has become a widespread phenomenon in our society. We can find many goods, especially food, wrapped in appealing boxes, such as tea, mooncakes and wine. Many reasons contribute to the emergence of this phenomenon, but generally speaking, they come down to the following two.
On the one hand, with the development of society and economy, the competition in the market is fiercer than ever before. To earn more profits, many manufacturers pack their products excessively, through which to stimulate the customers\" purchasing desire. On the other hand, quite a few customers who judge the goods by their packages hold the thought that the more beautiful the package seems the higher the quality will be. The idea has in turn encouraged the trend of excessive packaging.
As far as I am concerned, excessive packaging is a harmful phenomenon, which is a waste of resources and ought to be totally wiped out. First, laws and regulations should be made to forbid excessive packaging. Furthermore, consumers\" awareness that excessive packaging doesn\"t equal to high quality should be aroused.

Online Shopping
With the development of technology, online shopping becomes a fashionable trend in our life. Then, why do people like online shopping?
One of the reasons is that it brings people convenience. People don\"t have to waste a lot of time and energy going from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like. The commodities people order will be delivered to them promptly. Moreover, in most occasions, the items sold online are cheaper than those in the conventional store, which is attractive to most people. However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. For one thing, consumers can\"t see the goods or try them on personally. Sometimes, the commodity people receive is not the same as it looks on the computer. For another, some shops on the Internet are not registered. They will never deliver anything to you after they get the money from you.
It is undeniable that shopping on the Internet has become an irresistible trend in modern society. It\"s of great urgency that we should enforce relative laws in accordance with the rapid growth of online shopping. Only in this way can we enjoy the pleasure and convenience of online shopping without worrying about being cheated.

How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent?
Nowadays, parents tend to be overprotective and try doing everything for their children, which is harmful to the growth of the children. It is of great importance for the parents to help their children to become independent.
Some parents believe that the children are too young to face the complicated world on their own, thus taking on everything on their behalf. They love their children so blindly that they ignore the importance of independence in their children\"s life.
In order to help the children to be independent, parents should take the following measures. To
start with, parents should give their children chances to experience hardship, by which the children will enhance the capability to overcome it. Secondly, when the children really need help parents ought to provide useful suggestions and assistance, teaching the children the correct way to deal with problems. Last but not least, parents must encourage their children to make their own decisions. By this way, the children will become confident and able to confront any difficulties in their future life.

(分数:15.00)
__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:() 解析:
Free Admission to Museums
The purposes for more museums becoming free of charge are multifold and the benefits are in abundance. On the one hand, they offer chances of exposure to the public, conveying the culture and civilization of human being throughout the history. On the other hand, the life for citizens is well enriched and their horizon is well enlarged.
Problems and downsides, of course, also exist. Firstly, it brings huge pressure on and difficulty in protecting the historical sites, which increases the government budget and the social burden. Secondly, the failure to control the everyday number of visitors makes the museums crowded and noisy, contributing to low-quality observing.
I, however, fully support the practice that museums open to the public for free and I suggest that they should be well managed so the benefits could be well ensured and the side effects could be diminished. Therefore, to make it more productive, both the museums and the public should work and coordinate in concert.
