Directions: Among all the worthy feelings of mankind, love is probably the noblest, but everyone has his/her own understanding of it. There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper. Write an essay to the newspaper to 1) show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the picture below, 2) give a specific example, and 3) give your suggestion as to the best way to show love.
The symbolic implication conveyed in the cartoon is that love is most desired where one is in difficulty. Among all the notable emotions of human race, the most sublime is love. As the picture depicts, love is just like a smiling lamp whose rays become brighter where it is darker. A case in point is the Project Hope. In many poverty-stricken areas in China, few children can afford to go to school owing to lack of financial support. Therefore, the Project Hope is initiated to help them get out of difficulty and continue their schooling. Lets take another example. The year 1998 witnessed a disastrous flood in China. At that time, people all over the country were united as one and donate whatever they could. Be it money or goods. A large number of donations were raised and sent to the severely affected areas, which helped the victims to relieve their difficult situation. Whenever one gets in trouble, it is our duty to lend a helping hand to him or her. As John F. Kennedy put it, Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. Only in this way can each corner of our society be lit up by love.
漫画中所显示的象征意义是：人在陷入困境时，最需要爱。在所有有价值的人类感情中，爱是最崇高的。如图所示，爱心像一盏灯，在越黑暗的地方越明亮。 一个明显的例子就是希望工程。在中国的很多贫困地区，由于缺乏经济支持，很少有孩子能去上学。因此，人们发起希望工程来帮助他们走出困境继续学业。让我们再看一个例子。1998年中国发生了一场特大洪水。那时，全国人民团结一致，慷慨解囊，募集了大笔资金和物资并送往重灾区，减轻了灾民的困难。 无论何时有人陷入困境，我们都有义务伸出援助之手。正如约翰.肯尼迪所说：不要问你的国家能为你做什么，要问你能为你的国家做什么。只有这样，我们社会的每个角落才能充满爱。
