【正确答案】正确答案: From the cartoon, we can see that a small-figure person is making a posture of Rodin"s "The Thinker" on five letters: T, H, I, N, K, which comprise a word "think". Obviously, the picture aims to lead people to fully realize the importance of the ability of thinking independently. Independent thinking can help us break through the rigid thinking and develop new ways of solving problems. Throughout the history, those who have achieved great success have habituated themselves to thinking independently. To put it in another way, it is independent thinking that supports and broadens their lives. People who have developed a good habit of thinking independently can discard the dross, inherit the essence as well as breed wisdom. Rather, loss of independent thinking is the greatest grief in life for a person, which will make him become a slave as a blind follower, thus being doomed to accomplish nothing. All in all, independent thinking is the most fundamental part of people"s thought. Hence it is of great significance to cultivate the ability of independent thinking, especially for young people, just as Thomas Edison said "if you don"t learn to think when you are young, you may never learn".
