　　马路拉链（Road Zipper）

　　Road Zipper Phenomenon [公路拉锁现象]

　　As is shown in the above two pictures， road zipper phenomenon arises from time to time to reveal the harmfulness of project without advanced planning. In one picture the slogan celebrates the completion of a highway with cars and trucks coming and going. Contrary to this， the other picture has a big slogan along the same road， saying“Start the pavement of pipelines”。 Quite surprisingly， this change has just happened only within two months！

　　What the pictures symbolizes is that any work or project without blueprint may be detrimental and even threatening to normal life and constructions. Just as a manned spaceship traveling without plans is perilous and formidable， so is a solo ship sailing in the sea without direction. Thus， work or life is unimaginable without any planning and management. If you want to hunt for a better job， you should begin with your own preparation. For instance， take a sheet of resume to introduce your education background， work experiences and other qualifications， all of which are so-called intelligent planning to sell your services， to show your interests and to make yourself well-defined. Only in this well-planned manner can you have a much brighter future rendered by the society.

　　From my standpoint， everyone in this changing society has to carefully determine what to do next and how. If not planned in advance， what has been done is nothing good but to offer the potential threat to daily life and working convenience. In this case， we， with plans in mind， have every reason to believe：“Work without plan means failure without doubt！”[258 words]

对保健食品的反思(Afterthought on Nurishments)


　　　　As can be seen from the picture， a middle-aged man holds a plate with a bowl， a pair of chopsticks， and a jar of nourishment， murmuring “to live well up to the 22nd century， it is really helpful to build up good health with nourishments.” His face is as dull as dead water， his tongue is stuck out of his mouth and his posture is strange， knees bent， leaning forward.

　　This cartoon poses a serious problem worthy of careful reflection：“What is a positive attitude towards nourishment？”Misconception prevails nowadays all over the world that nourishment can make the weak strong and the sick healthy. For those believing in this kind of theory， such omnipotent nourishment is all-cures. So they take this kind of‘magical nourishment’excessively. However， something is far from the truth. Taking nourishment to ensure your health is nothing but an illusion. Moreover， a great amount of fake nourishment are flooded with in the markets， which will thus deteriorate your health after continual use.

　　Now let‘s draw a conclusion from this cartoon： a wish is a wish， no matter how sweet it is. A good wish， however， doesn’t mean a real life！ In reality， life blooms with doing exercises and taking part in sports. Besides， proper diets are also a rewarded way to keep you fit and healthy. Give up the idea of“more nourishment and more health and you will build a muscular body in the long run. [244 words]

　　不对口

　　It Doesn‘t Match Each Other

　　From the cartoon we can see that a fish， which should have been swimming in a deep sea or a wide lake， is dumped into a barrel with half-filled water. Shedding tears， the fish seems to be helpless and hopeless.

　　A close look at the cartoon triggers our deep thought： this fish leaves us showing special sympathy towards those who have been misplaced in their jobs. It‘s commonplace that many people are not doing the “suitable” job. What they are doing has little or nothing to do with their specialty and majors. A case in point is some university graduates， whose sole concern is to find a job， not expecting to find the “right” one. Traditional wisdom suggests that misplaced treasure is nothing but garbage. Not surprisingly， we bitterly blame and criticize those who abuse money， those who undermine natural resources， and those who waste food and electricity power to excess. But it is strange that we turn a blind eye to those who misuse human resources！

　　How so？ A prosperous China may， in the near future， depend on the later generations whose energy and wisdom know no bounds. It seems to me that the time is ripe for the Ministry of Education and related departments to get together with the universities， thus setting up a revised educational system of elite banks. It is self-evident that this new system will make the wealth of talents more economically used. This moment， I trust， is well in sight and the measures involved are well in practice. [254 words]
