【正确答案】This picture depicts that a man is running towards the end of a race, sweating all over. Perhaps there is nothing special about the man and the race, yet the line leaves a deep impression on us for it is both the finishing line and the starting line if we look at it from different angles. The picture tells us a lot about life. An ordinary runner may think that he can sit down and celebrate for his achievement because he has already reached his goal. However, an ambitious runner will well realize that his success is the starting point for a new race. Obviously, the way we look at things determines how far we will go. If we feel satisfied with the ability to read and write, perhaps we will not strive to go to college. Again, if we think a Bachelor's degree is quite enough, we will not take pains to pass the examination for postgraduate study. Life is just like an endless race. If we don't prepare for new races, we are either disqualified from the race or surpassed by others. That's why the finishing line is also a starting line. I may have been running this endless race, but I have been pushed forward by my parents and the desire for fame. From now on, I will become more active and take the initiative, for the picture has really enlightened me.
