【正确答案】The cartoon displays a robot shaped like the Statue of Liberty in New York, which is an emblem of the United States. Her right hand holds high a glowing electric bulb while her left hand grips a notice board with a poster on it: "U. S. High Tech Drive". On the left of the robot's head are the words she uttered, asking people to send her programmers, scientists, electrical engineers, researchers, technicians, computer specialists, and so forth. 　　The main idea of the cartoon is quite plain: in the intensively competitive era of high tech, the contest for superiority focuses on technical personnel, especially scientific talents. The cartoon reveals the U: S. scarcity of highly qualified scientific and technical workers and its eager desire for them. 　　It would be no exaggeration to say that the 21st century is marked by the fight for educated elites. Every nation, with no expection of our own, should put its personnel strategy before everything else if it is unwilling to lag behind in development. Now we can see that the worldwide struggle for winning gifted or outstanding scientists and technologists is becoming more and more intense.
