答案 This is a simple but thought-provoking cartoon. In the sketch, we can see clearly that a man is bending forward with an axe in his hands, trying to cut down a tree. He has almost finished his work and the tree is leaning in the direction of a baby sleeping in his cradle. What disturbs us is that the man is apparently not aware of the danger that is to befall his helpless baby. This drawing clearly implies that human beings are now treating nature in a way that threatens the survival of their offspring. With the steps of modernization and mechanization, the serene poetic life of former times has vanished. Vast green pastures are replaced by factories belching out columns of thick smoke; rivers once teemed with all kinds of fishes are now polluted by sewage water. In addition to that, environmental pollution has given rise to a number of serious problems, such as the extinction of some species of animals owing to the desertification, the greenhouse effect owing to the depletion of ozone layer, and the dwindling away of fresh water. Mother earth is the only home we live in. Therefore, she exists more for our protection than for our destruction. Now it is high time that measures be taken to counter the negative effects of modernization. The strategy of sustainable development has been launched, but this is not enough, because it is each citizen’s business to be kind to our mother earth.
