译文:
这幅漫画展现了一个非常令人欣慰的情景。一个老妇人刚刚从一家便利店中买了一些东西,在她正要离开的时候,店主跑出来还给她多付的两块钱。尽管这点钱数目不多,但是我相信这个老妇人一定对店主的诚实留下了深刻的印象。
毫无疑问这幅漫画意在指出当今社会一个普遍且严重的社会问题,即商界缺乏诚信原则。具体而言,许多商人一心想着谋取更多的利润,而忘记了他们应该为顾客提供的产品和服务。因此就出现了诸如假冒产品、欺诈服务、无法兑现的诺言等。相反,这幅图中好心的店主却在工作的每一个细节中实践诚信的原则。她的态度让顾客感觉到她的服务和产品是一流的,这就保证了她拥有越来越多的顾客、更好的名声和信誉。
这个店主的行为正是我们应该在商界中努力实践的。这是因为,诚信不仅仅给了顾客暂时的满意感,而更能够建立长期的顾客信任。而后者是市场扩张和事业成功的关键因素之一。

大学为学生提供了一个学习、成长以及逐渐发现自己潜力的环境。有些学生太过局限于学习——下一个考试、论文和作业——另一些人却积极参加参加各种课外活动。参与这些活动对学业、择业及以后的生活都有很大好处。
课外活动对参与者的学业有最直接的好处。适当的参与各种运动、俱乐部及义工对于学生来说实际上是一种很好的日常减压方式。,没有压力的学生自然而然地会更快乐更健康,他们在学习过程中会更有效率,获得更好的成绩。参加课外活动也有助于学生毕业后的工作。雇佣者在招聘人才时不再青睐于那些仅仅平均总成绩搞得学生。许多公司在挑选招聘岗位最适合的人选时,也会把应聘者参加过的活动考虑在内,因为课外活动也可以提高学生的沟通能力、领导能力及协作能力,这些都是大学生将来在工作中想去的成功所需要的重要技能。最后但同样重要的是,参加课外活动的学生会知道如何过一种和谐而充实的生活。俗话说,“只工作不玩耍会让jack变成一个笨孩子”。换句话说,那些恒天只知道工作学习的人会变得无聊、没有灵感及对生活缺乏激情。课外活动会让学生喜欢上各种运动、业余爱好及社区服务,会让他们变得更加健康、完善。

不要浪费水资源
一个男人正在洗衣服,不管上面的“请节约用水”标语。
正如我们所看到的,水是生命之源。但是在我们的世界上可用水资源是非常有限的。所以我们不应该浪费它。当然,我们必须用它来喝,做饭,洗衣,清洁等,但我们必须记住,不要挥霍使用它。如果我们还不能阻止这种浪费的习惯,我们将切断对世界的发展和人类生活。
