The picture shows a common phenomenon among our professors nowadays. In the picture, a professor is on a thick pile of research papers. There are so many papers that he is high in the air and far away from his students. And the student shouts at him, ”Professor, the blackboard is here. Look downward please.”
This is a satirical cartoon which describes vividly a kind of common phenomenon among some professors in the universities. Nowadays, some professors are indulged in composing his endless research papers in order to get some fame in their research fields and thus to be promoted to a higher position. They spend so much time in thesis composing that there is little time for them to think about how to teach their students. They just let the students study by themselves and give no instructions. They forget their essential responsibilities.
As an old saying goes, it is a teacher’s job to propagate cardinal principles, impart professional knowledge and resolve doubts. Therefore, the most important job of a professor should be teaching the students rather than writing the research papers. Professors should be reminded of this point and devote their heart and soul to the students.

Study the picture above carefully and write an essay entitled “It is Good \Bad to write about(?) Martial Arts Novels in the Textbooks” In the essay, you should (1) describe the picture and interpret its meaning (2) give your opinion and support it with some proof (3) get the conclusion. You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
The picture describes an interesting phenomenon. When a student is reading his textbook, what flashes in his mind is a scene of fighting between two martial arts fighters. Last year, the compiling group of the Chinese textbooks made a decision that some parts of a marital arts novel would be selected as one of the texts. This has sparked off a heated debate.
Some say that it is a new idea to do so. The martial arts novels are a new genre of literature and should be included in the textbook. Some others are strongly against this decision. They say it will do no good to students because they will think about nothing but fighting and revenge when they read this kind of novels.
In my opinion, it is not reasonable to select such texts. Firstly, the main theme of these novels is revenge. To all the characters, not for a minute was revenge forgotten. The purpose of their life is to seek revenge. Secondly, the characters do nothing but fight with each other. They needn’t make a living. Their main job is to find someone to fight with. Thirdly, there are all kinds of factions in the novels. People are always belonging to a kind of faction. Students who have not established their values and outlook of life will be affected by these ideas. They may imitate the characters and do some bad things.
Therefore, these novels should be removed from the textbook. Some good materials should be selected to instruct the students and help them to form the correct outlook of life. They can benefit from the selection for his whole life.
