Such a Promise
种种承诺
When I first look at the cartoon, I can't help laughing at the hen who seems to be seriously making a foolis h announcement to the public that she always lays eggs, smooth and round and never without eggwhite and yolk in side the shell. However, when I start to study the cartoon more carefully, I find something significant in it and gradually I come to understand the author's intention.
Nowadays, almost all trades and professions are repeatedly making sincere promises to people: government people assure that they are noble and clean and will serve people heart and soulmer chants smilingly swear that the products they sell are of superior quality, genuine instead of false, life-time maintenance guaranteed and the cheapest market price; advertisers take pains to recommend miracle drugs and make-youbeautiful cosmetics, etc. Year after year, such promises are repeated. I wonder why they take so much trouble to boast oudly about their obligations and duties. People believed them at first, but gradually became awakened because they have found some dishonesty in such bombing promises.
"Actions speak louder than words." The hen is foolish enough to make her egg-promise, why shouldn't those nonsense- maker s become cleverer?

CET6六级作文内容分析:
本文是一篇漫画作文, 画的寓意是“各行各业的种种承诺本应是自身的职责, 却要大肆渲染, 无疑是多此一举”, 其愚蠢程度不亚于图中“ 母鸡下蛋的承诺”。这类题型必须把握其寓意( hidden meaning) , 方能切中主题。本文第一段用两句解释了 漫画, 其开头不落俗套, 文笔幽默。第二段切入主题, 例举各种“ 多此一举”的承诺, 笔调生动, 最后一句是有力的揭露。结尾段 中引用了一句成语并奉劝承诺者不要像母鸡那样愚蠢本题曾是一次考研写作题, 漫画取自于21 世纪报, 作者借题自行撰文。
