　　(5) Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:

　　范文：

　　The drawing shows a man who deposits a small amount of money into the bank and that turns out to be some fortune when he takes away the money later. One might think it is a bank advertisement, but in fact, as the subtitle suggests, it is a promotion that encourages all people to form the habit of exercising.

　　The artist uses this unique metaphor in order to endow us with the concept that, to habitually exercises is like to deposit money bit by bit in the bank. If we manage to exercise every day for a considerable period of time, the habit would contribute invaluably to our health. I firmly believe that exercise should become a life-long pursuit, part and parcel of our life. In this way, not only will our longevity be greatly lengthened, the improvement and maintenance of health could also lead to a happier life.

　　At the eve of China's hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, I think it is high time to launch a campaign spurring every citizen to exercise. Though being difficult at the beginning, we should be aware that exercise is a long-term investment that might benefit us even more than our anticipation.

　　譯文：

　　這幅圖刻畫了一個男人把一筆錢存入銀行，以后當他取出這筆錢的時候已經(jīng)是一筆不小的財富了。我們可能會以為這是一個銀行的廣告，但是實際上題目暗示了這是在鼓勵人們養(yǎng)成鍛煉身體的好習慣。

　　通過這個獨特的比喻，作畫者意在讓我們接受這樣的一個概念，即鍛煉身體的習慣就像往銀行中一點點地存錢。如果我們堅持在一段時間里每天鍛煉，這個習慣對于我們健康的貢獻將是無價的。而且我堅信鍛煉是一項一生都應該堅持的事情，是我們生活的一個重要組成部分。這不僅能夠延長人們的壽命，而且健康的改進和保持會給人們帶來一個更加幸?？鞓返纳睢?/p>

　　因此，在北京舉辦2008年奧運會的前夕，我認為這是一個非常好的時機發(fā)起全民健身的熱潮。盡管堅持這個習慣在一開始比較困難，但是我們應該相信鍛煉是一種一生的投資，我們可能得到比我們預期更多的收獲。
