Be Tolerant of Yourself But Strict with Others? Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the drawing. In your essay, you should 1) describe the drawing briefly, 2) explain its intended meaning, and 3) give your comments.
【正确答案】正确答案: There are two cats in the picture and they resemble each other except the expression: the left one opens its eyes with no focus when looking at its own weak points; while the right one opens its eyes wide with full attention when looking at others' shortcomings. With the sharp contrast, the picture intends to convey a meaningful message to its readers: some of us are tolerant of our own faults, but intolerant of those of others. This is well represented by the two different expressions of the cats accordingly. Actually, such a double-standard mindset is not uncommon among us. Some people just pay little attention to their own mistakes, but they would criticize others' ruthlessly. This attitude is not helpful, I think, to improve ourselves or to forge a solid relationship with people around us. By turning a blind eye to our own disadvantages, we lose the opportunity to become a better person. Besides, the unfair double-standard treatment would anger our friends and colleagues, who might choose to keep a distance from us. Therefore, I think it is wise for us to face up to our own weaknesses and treat others fairly.
