Topic 4：Innovation 创新

　　The cartoon aims at informing us of the importance of innovation consciousness. Definitely, no one can deny the importance of it. For one thing, Innovation consciousness is conducive to the continuous progress and improvement of individuals. The more innovative you are, the more likely you are to create new methods, master new skills and discover new opportunities. For another, many of today's business success or miracle can be ascribed toinnovation. Take Steve Jobs as a case in point, as a member of the mighty oceanof electronic products, if he had not invented innovative devices such as Ipad and Iphone，he could not have achieved great success in the global market and even changed the way people communicate, recreate and live.

　　From my perspective, at no time should we overlook the power of the consciousness of innovation. Furthermore, we need to develop a habit of discovering new things，using new methods and applying new thoughts in our work, study and everyday life. "Innovation is the spirit of human being's progress." A philosopher once said.

　　这幅漫画目标在于告诉我们创新意识的重要性。确实，没有人可以否认创新的重要性。首先，创新意识有利于个人的持续进步和提升。你越善于创新，就越有可能创造新方法，掌握新技能并且发现新机会。另外，很多当今世界的商业成功和奇迹都可以归因于创业，以史蒂夫.乔布斯为例，作为浩瀚的电子产品海洋中的一员，如果他没有发明诸如Ipad，Iphone这样创新的设备，他是不太可能在全球市场取得成功甚至改变人们的通讯、娱乐和生活方式的。

　　在我看来，任何时候我们都不应该忽略创新意识的重要性。进一步而言，我们在工作、学习和生活中应该培养一种发现新事物，使用新方法和应用新思维的习惯。一位哲学家曾经讲过："创新是人类进步的灵魂。"

　　特别提示：本类范文，共列出了四篇。还有一些话题，这里鉴于篇幅所限，也鉴于不想给您增加过多压力和负担，就不再列举,但是，这些中心词，你还是要再考前预览一下;其余需要准备或浏览的话题还有(按照重要性从前到后排列)：

　　个性(individuality)\ 逆境(adversity)\谦虚(modesty)\耐心(patience)\制定计划(making plans)\

　　诚信(honety)\ 信任(trust)\沟通(communication)\ 意志(a strong will)

　　B类：主题句型

　　此类文章，请参见您手中的2004年真题 "终点又是新起点"。这篇文章，主题词很难概括，不能简单的总结为"目标"或"坚持"或"谦虚不自满"等等;如果考生直接将文章论述为上述中心词的重要性，不好展开，而且有偏题之嫌，特此点名;以下为2004年真题的参考范文，拙作一篇，只需浏览，研读写作思路，不要求背诵。

　　From the cartoon given above, we can observe that there is young boy running towards the finish line. Sweating profusely but wearing a smile on his face , he has no intention of stopping.Taking a look at the arrows on the track，we can find that they are written "the beginning"and"the ending". Definitely, his behavior best explains the meaning of the words onthe arrows and the caption below: "the ending is a newbeginning. "

　　The cartoon informs us of a truth that, having reached the periodical objectives, we should not be satisfied with them. Instead, we need to set up new goals and keep on fighting for them. However, few people would like to do that. Some people have been defeated by hardships and challenges even before they reached their goals. Then, others fulfill their goals through diligence or good fortune but fail to set up new ones and motivate themselves to rise to a higher position. They can hardly achieve a greater success, what is more serious is that they are likely to be surpassed or even eliminated by their rivals.

　　Whatever inborn differences people may exhibit in their native intelligence and backgrounds, those differences can be offseted by diligence and persistent efforts. people can achieve success and stay ahead temporarily, but it is their modesty and and higher pursuits that determine whether they could go further.

　　如图所示，我们可以看到有个年轻小伙正朝终点线跑去。他大汗淋淋但却面对微笑，而且没有停下来的想法。看一眼跑道上得箭头，我们发现他们上面写着"终点"和"起点"。很明显，他的行为很好地解释了箭头上以及图画下方的文字的意思："终点又是新起点"。

　　这幅图画告诉我们，当我们打到了阶段性的目标之后，我们不应该满足，而应该设定新的目标并继续努力。然而，能做到这样的人很少。有一部分人，在达到目标之前，已经被困难和挑战击垮了。也有一部分人，他们凭借努力和机遇，很幸运地实现了梦想，然而却没有能继续设定新的目标并且激励自己做到更好。对于这些人来说，非但更大的成就无法取得，甚至会失去眼前的成就以及被竞争对手超越或淘汰。

　　不管人与人之间的智力和背景会显示出如何的差异，这些差异都可以通过勤奋和持续的努力来弥补。人们可以暂时地取得成就或领先，但是谦虚的心态、更高的追求才能决定他们能否走得更远。

　　C类：负面现象呈现型

　　此类文章，请参见您手中的2007年真题 "前锋与守门员"。这篇文章，可以看出两者过高估计的对方，而看轻了自己，缺乏自信心!如果考生将文章直接论述为"自信的重要性"，有点牵强，甚至有偏题、生搬硬套模板之嫌。建议考生，在第二段直接切入图画描述的现象："部分人缺乏自信心"，对此现象进行解释和论述;文章最后一段，阐述自信心的意义和价值。此范文无需背诵，仅需浏览，熟悉文章的展开思路，谨防再次出现类似命题。

　　From the cartoon given above, we can observe that there are two sportsmen playing football on a playground. Influenced by the idea that "the goal is larger than it really is and I am so small", the goalkeeper seems to be quite anxious and doubts whether he can catch the ball or not. Meanwhile, with the thought that "the goalkeeper looks like an invincible giant " in his mind, the striker is also fairly nervous. It is obvious that both of them lack confidence and overestimate the difficulties.

　　The cartoon informs us of a factthat, in many cases, people tend to overrate the outside difficulties while underrate the inner confidence and power. The reason why people lack confidence is that they don't even know themselves thoroughly and recognize themselves profoundly, that they have no idea what their strengths and weaknesses are. What's more, the absence of self-assurance can also be attributed to the inadequate preparation. How could a teacher, an attorney or a doctor become confident without much preparation for the lesson to teach, the case to finish or the operation to perform ? The lack of confidence will inevitably arouse fear for outside challenges and difficulties，this is something like a vicious circle, which will in turn weaken one's confidence.

　　However，the importance ofself-confidence is undeniable. Confidence enables us to achieve our objectivesand realize our dreams more smoothly and rapidly. The more confident we are,the more likely we are to face challenges courageously, keep sober in adversitiesand win others' trust and support. Believe yourself no mantter how harsh the outside world seems to be. Who will trust you if you lose confidence inyourself ?(283words)

　　如图所示，我们可以看到有两个运动员正在球场上玩足球。受到"球门比真实的大很多而我却这么渺小"的想法的影响，守门员看起来相当焦虑并且怀疑自己是否能够扑住这个球。同时，因为想到"守门员像一个无法战胜的巨人"的想法的影响，前锋也相当的紧张。

　　这幅图画告诉我们一个事实，那就是，人在很多时候都会高估外在的困难而低估自身内在的自信和力量。人们缺乏自信，往往是因为对自己还不够了解，认识不够深刻，不知道自身的优势强项、弱势短板在哪里;另外，自信的缺乏也可以归因为准备的不够充分。一个老师、律师或者医生，如果没有对自己要讲授的课、完成的案件或者是要进行的手术进行充分的准备的话，怎么可能自信?自信的缺乏，会不可避免地引起对外在困难的恐惧，而好比是恶性循环，这反过来又会进一步削减人们的自信。

　　然而，自信的重要性是无可否认的。自信能使我们顺利而快速地达成目标，实现梦想。我们越自信，就越有可能勇敢地面对挑战，在逆境中保持冷静并且赢得别人的信任和支持。不管外面的世界看起来多么残酷，要相信你自己。如果你对自己失去了信心，还有谁会相信你?

　　D类：正反对立呈现型

　　此类文章，请参见您手中的2012年真题 "乐观与悲观"。这篇文章，根据图画的描绘，一人悲观，一人乐观;考生如果直接将文章论述为"乐观心态"的重要性，而完全不顾及悲观，有偏题和硬套模板之嫌。范文只需浏览，了解文章脉络和陈述方式，不要求背诵，仅作对考试的了解之用。

　　From the cartoon given above, we can observe that there are two people standing in front of a bottle. When looking at the bottle, which is lying on the ground with half of water inside, the man on the left side thinks that "all is gone" and seems fairly depressed. On the contrary, influenced by the thought that "fortunately,there still remains some", the man on the right side appears to be relaxed and wants to pick the bottle up.

　　This drawing is attempting to convey amessage that, when confronted with the same problems, some tend to be pessimistic while others are optimistic. The former focus their attention on the risks,dangers or impossibilities of things. Whereas the latter normally concentrate on the hopes, opportunities or possibilities of things. These two markedly opposite attitudes usually lead to contrary results. Those who are pessimistic are always haunted by failures and frustrations. However, optimistic people are more likely to have a good mood, establish a harmonious relationships with the people around and achieve success.

　　From my perspective, the impact of a positive attitude on our life can never be overlooked, especially when we are faced with problems or challenges. Life is by no means perfect since difficulties are inevitable, but I am convinced that life is 10 percent wha thappens but 90 percent how we react to it. "A man with optimism can be destroyed, but notdefeated." Mark Twain also once said.(246 words)

　　如图所示，我们可以看到有两个人正站在一个瓶子的前面。当站在左边的人看着倒在地上并且只有一半水在里面的瓶子的时候，他想到"全完了"并且看起来相当的沮丧。相反的是，右边那个人受到"幸好还剩点"这个想法的影响，显得相当的放松而且想去捡这个瓶子。

　　这幅图画试图传递一个信息，那就是，当面对一样的问题，有些人悲观而有些人乐观。前者将他们的注意力集中在事物的风险、危险和不可能上。而后者通常聚焦在事物的希望、机会和可能性上。这两种明显的相反的态度通常会带来相反的结果。那些悲观的人，总是被失败和挫折所萦绕。然而，那些乐观的人则更有可能拥有良好的心情，与周围的人建立和谐的人际关系并且取得成功。

　　在我看来，积极的态度对我们生活的影响是不可忽视的，尤其是在我们面对问题和挑战的时候。生活绝对不是完美的，因为困难总是不可避免，但是我坚信，生活10%取决于发生的事情，而90%在于我们如何应对这些事情。马克吐温也曾经说过："一个乐观的人可以被毁灭，但绝不会被打败。"
