【正确答案】
【答案解析】[范文]
As is shown in the picture, a man wearing blue suit is sitting next to a desk. He talks to the phone, saying "people hate rich. I need to bankrupt my company and fire everyone so people will like me again."
The manager in the picture is complaining that in order to win the favor of other people, he would rather get rid of his wealth to be a poor man. Exaggerated as it seems, the cartoon reveals a phenomenon that the rich are often envied and even resented, some of whom are compelled to donate to charity. There is no doubt that the gap between the rich and the poor has become larger. As for the poor who is working very hard, still can't change their situations. As a result, the poor begin to doubt the society and hold the dark view of the rich.
Accordingly, we urgently call for the government's reform. More laws and policies should be implemented to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. For instance, the government can raise the welfare, restructure its national income distributions, and provide more employment opportunities for low-income citizens, in order to create a more stable society.
