                                          Natural Resources

Through the changes in the ways of making a living in a family over several generations, the cartoon aims at sounding a warning against man’s wasteful use of natural resources and emphasizing the urgent need to preserve these resources.
Ever since man appeared on the earth, man’s survival has been heavily dependent on nature. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from nature, ranging from the food we eat, the water we drink, to the wood which is turned into furniture. With the development of technology and population growth, the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate.
However, natural resources are not inexhaustible. Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is an example in point. If man continued to squander natural resources with no thought for the future, the whole world would be in a mess.

Useful Words and Expressions:
1. make a living 谋生
2. aim at 瞄准
3. aim high 胸怀大志
4. alarming使人惊动的
5. inexhaustible 无穷无尽的
6. squander 浪费
7. be in a mess 乱七八糟

    通过几代人在家庭生活方式上的变化,这幅漫画旨在对人类对自然资源的浪费发出警告,并强调保护这些资源的迫切需要。 自从人类出现在地球上,人类的生存就严重依赖于大自然。我们日常生活中使用的几乎所有东西都来自大自然,从我们吃的食物,我们喝的水,到变成家具的木材。随着科技的发展和人口的增长,所用材料的数量和范围都有所增加
