Stopping for a New Start

In the picture presented to us, we can see a runner who is dashing to the finishing line, dripping with sweat all over the forehead. Apparently, he is very happy at the final victory of the race after a long running. However, as an arrow marked "End" points to the finishing line, there immediately follows another arrow marked with "Beginning".

Though this picture only describing a runner who is going to start a new run after reaching the finishing line, yet it demonstrates a universal law that governs the development of mankind. Judging from the title "Finishing Line Leads to Another Starting Point", we get to know the artists real intention: he tries to indicate that there is no end on the way of making progress.

This drawing reminds me a lot of phenomena in the world. The most obvious example is the discovery of gene, which is the final solution to the mystery of the life. But on the other hand, it is a staring point that triggers off the study of cloning. Another example is the safe return of Shenzhou V spaceship, which marks the triumphant end of the launch. At the same time, it begins a new era for Chinas space exploration. A third example concerns something about ourselves. Four years college life is now approaching to the end and each of us is going to stand at a new starting point, either as a postgraduate or a member of the society. In this sense, we are stopping for a new start. Only when we are wellprepared for it, can we meet the challenge in the future and be the winner of the new era.

迎接新起点

从所给的图中，我们可以看到一个运动员正跑向终点，他的头上冒着汗。显然，跑了这么长终于达到终点他非常高兴。但是，一个箭头指向终点线的同时，另一个箭头上却写着起点。

尽管这个图片只描述了一个运动员到达终点后又要准备新的起跑的事情，但它却揭示了一个有关人类发展的永恒规律。从题目“终点又是新起点”中我们不难看出作者的真正目的是要告诉我们在人类进步的路途上永远都没有终点

这幅图使我想起了世界上很多事情。最明显的就是基因的发现，虽然解答了生物遗传之谜，但也标志着动物克隆的一个新起点。另我国神州五号飞船胜利返航到达终点也意味着我国太空探索领域的新起点。最后一个例子和我们的生活息息相关。经过4年的紧张学习，我们的大学时代即将到达终点;而从另一方面看，无论我们考上研究生还是投身于社会，未来的岁月对我们来说都是一个新的起点。只有我们做好准备才能迎接未来的挑战，做新时代的胜利者。
