To solve this problem/surmount this difficulty/improve this situation/crack this hard nut, I hope to draw the attention of the authorities concerned. I am sure you will agree that the only solution is for me tomove into a room of my own.Therefore, I would be grateful if you couldfind a single room for me,preferably notin the same buildingbutas near to the college campus as possible.

Directions: Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should

1) describe the pictures briefly;

2) interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and

3) give your point of view. 图略

The cartoons vividly depict people in expanding numbers are engaged inopen and rampant cheating in business.In the first drawing,a boy has no courage to have dinner in front of delicious foods in that there may exist pesticide pollution or poisonous elements in the foods.In the second picture,the administrative office, salesmen, breeding families and forage shops are laughing at the hanging of a poisonous duck.

Professional dishonestyhas a very damaging effect. In the first place,since cheating in business reveals the moral deficiencies as well as the humanity weakness of those businessmen who engage in it, the dishonest practicewill ultimately exerts a perverse influence on the whole society. In the second place, it not only putshonest businessmenat a competitive disadvantage,encouraging those who did not cheat to adopt similar practices later,but undermines the very foundation ofprofessional ethics in business.

It is often painful to impose sanctions in a specific case. But it is worthwhile. For one thing, to eliminateprofessional dishonesty thoroughly,serious forms of punishment for a willful offense—a suspension of the offender from business—should be applied. For another, sincethe incentives to engage in cheating in businessare mainly due to a lack of adequate precautions, drastic actions should be taken to preventone form of cheating or another.
