Topic 1：mutual trust 互相信任的意义
The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of mutual-trust. Definitely，No one can deny the importance of it. mutual trust is conducive to the harmony of society. With trust among each other, people of diverse disposition, experience, thinking mode and backgrounds can have a better understanding and communication, and thus reduce unnecessary conflicts and frictions. To further illustrate the significance of mutual trust, I would like to take an empirical evidence as a case in point: surveys conducted by certain career-related websites have shown that roughly 98% of white-collar workers are more inclined to work with colleagues they trust. (almost 98% of white-collar workers regard mutual trust as lubricant of effective collaboration. )
From my perspective, at no time should we underestimate the power of mutual trust. Furthermore, we should trust people as much as possible and try our utmost to influence those who do not trust people easily, inform them of the significance of it. Only in this way can live in a more harmonious world.
Topic1: adversity逆境的意义
The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of adversity. Definitely，No one can deny the importance of adversity. Adversity is conducive to people’s g rowth and maturity. By facing adversity with confidence and a brave heart, people are more likely to recognize themselves profoundly, bring their potential into full play and accumulate more experiences. To further illustrate the significance of adversity, I would like to take an empirical evidence as a case in point: surveys conducted by some biographers have demonstrated that almost all of the great men and celebrities have built their mansion of success on the bedrock of adversity.
From my perspective, at no time should we underestimate the power of adversity. Furthermore, when coming across adversity, we should not regard it as a obstacle to success; instead, we might as well envision it as a precious chance to improve ourselves, fight against it courage ously and acquire wisdom from it. “Adversity breeds success.” An ancient Greek philosopher also once said.
1. 产品质量低下问题inferior quality of products
问题产生的原因
In the first place，Quite a few businessmen put the economic interests in the first place while overlook the importance of quality and safety.
(Additionally，In order to reduce costs，they tend to use inferior materials，simplify the production process and shorten the manufacturing time.)
Last but not least，the absence of strict supervision and severe punishment on those who produce low quality products has also reinforced the trend. (74words)
问题的解决措施
Firstly，relevant administration departments should spare no efforts to strengthen supervision on the manufacturing process.

2. 物价过高High prices (民生问题，映射楼价政策等)
问题产生的原因
For one thing，Greed is largely to blame, most companies and manufacturing units raise prices to rake in excessive profits at the expense of customers’ interests.
For another，The reduction of subsidies from the government has forced companies and manufacturing units to depend largely on high prices. It is obvious that without remarkable increase in government support, they will continue to regard customers as their primary source of revenue. (71words)

Topic 1: Mobile-phone subscriptions
From the bar chart given above, we can observe that mobile-phone subscriptions in developing and developed country experienced some changes during the past several year. The number of mobile-phone subscriptions in developing countries increased dramatically from less than 1 billion in 2000 to 4 billion in 2008. Taking a look at the statistics of mobile-phone subscriptions in developed countries, we can see that it ascended gradually from less than 1 billion in 2000 to the maximum at 1 billion in 2007, and then remained unchanged in 2008.
The bar chart reveals that there exists difference in the development of mobile-phone subscriptions between developing and developed countries. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: the authorities in developing countries have issued some preferential policies to protect and promote the development of the mobile-phone industry. Moreover, with the improvement of financial status and purchasing power, people in mounting numbers can afford to buy mobile-phones which was once deemed expensive. When it comes to developed countries, its slow growth can be best attributed to the market saturation:
almost every one has owned mobile-phones, it is no need for them to buy a new one.
By observing the trend in developed countries, we may forecast that the mobile-phone subscriptions will not continue to grow rapidly, as developing countries will meet the sam e problem of “limited grow space”. This is, obviously, the law of the market development.
Topic 9: The difference of job satisfaction among people at diverse ages.
From the table chart given above，we can observe that it reflects the statistics of sta ff’s job satisfaction in a certain company. 50% of staff at the age less than and equal to 40 years old are not clear about their job satisfaction. Staff at the age between 41 and 50 years old who are not content with their jobs account for 64%. When it comes to the staff at the age over 50 years old, we can find that 40% of them are satisfied with their jobs, ranking first among all the three age groups.
The table chart reveals that there exists huge difference in job satisfaction among people at different ages. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon ? Reasons can be listed as follows: the reason why people at the age less than and equal to 40s are not clear about their jobs is that they don’t have so much time and energy to reflect on whether his job is goo or not, all they have to do is to work hard and contend for more opportunities. As for those who are at the age between 41 and 50 years old, confronted with pressures from works, families and society, they can hardly stay put. Instead, they should pour all their energies into making money, supporting their families and enhance their social status. However, entering into a new stage of life: 50 years old, they are more likely to enjoy their life. Moreover, a fat pay, high social status, sense of achievement and respect form others enables them to lead a comfortable and satisfactory life.
As common saying goes, “ it is impossible to please anyone.” In terms of jobs, it also can hardly please any staffs. However, we can do something to change the situation : staffs themselves should adjust their attitude towards jobs. The companies should also enforce some policies to improve staffs’ living standard and enhance the sense of gratification. (325words)
