　　One glance at the cartoon can leave the viewer in awe of its beauty and splendor. One can only imagine the amount of patience that was required before any of this greatness was to be achieved. Here it is a symbol of strong man, whose character is revealed in crisis and adversity. It goes without saying that adversity is the touchstone of man—the harder the situation is, the more clearly a man’s strength is seen.

　　This picture reminds me of my father, a most determined and persistent man. He was born in a very poor family in the country, and both of my grandparents were farmers, but he was determined to change his own fate ever since he was a little boy. He studied extremely hard, graduated from high school with distinction and went to study computer sciences in the University. He later became a professor and art expert in computer programming—he could design large-scale programs for supermarkets, hotels, parks and bookstores all by himself. Who can deny that resulted from the determination and perseverance of a most strong person?

　　The best way to know a strong man, I think, is to let him go through a severe test. Whenever we want to test a man’s character, we should find out whether he could stand adversity, because adversity can always reveal the true character of a man. Some people would give up halfway in the face of what seems to be insurmountable. Men of such a type can hardly expect to succeed. We must take a step by step approach to accomplish everything until we get the final result. (268 words)

　　這幅漫畫給人印象深刻：頑石夾縫中求生的小草。漫畫寓意著任何偉人在到達(dá)成功之前，需要何等的耐心和堅(jiān)毅的品質(zhì)。小草象征一個(gè)堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的人，其頑強(qiáng)的性格只有在危機(jī)和不幸中才能充分展現(xiàn)。很顯然，不幸是人們成功與否的試金石，一個(gè)人的力量只有遭遇困境時(shí)才能被激發(fā)出來。

　　這幅圖片讓我想起了我的父親，一位非常有決心和毅力的人。我的父親出生在鄉(xiāng)下一個(gè)貧窮的家庭里，他的父母都是農(nóng)民，但是他從小就決心改變自己的命運(yùn)。他學(xué)習(xí)極其刻苦，高中畢業(yè)以優(yōu)異的成績考入大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)。由于他學(xué)生時(shí)就能為超市、賓館、公園和書店等單位設(shè)計(jì)計(jì)算機(jī)管理程序，以至于后來在計(jì)算機(jī)編程方面成為一名技術(shù)專家和教授。誰不認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的人因擁有決心和毅力而取得成功的典型案例呢?

　　我認(rèn)為，識(shí)別一個(gè)人堅(jiān)強(qiáng)與否的比較好方法是讓其遭受挫折。要想測試一個(gè)人的性格品質(zhì)，應(yīng)看他是否能承受挫折，因?yàn)椴恍液痛煺劭梢哉故疽粋�(gè)人真實(shí)的性格品質(zhì)。有些人在面對(duì)看似無法克服的困難時(shí)會(huì)中途放棄，這類人很難成功。要想取得成功必須采取步步為營的方法，認(rèn)真完成每件事，堅(jiān)持到底才能取得比較后的成果。
