范文：
The cartoon presents the Earth with a personified human face that seems quite unhappy. A examination of the picture immediately reveals that the source of its mood is the air pollution resulting from a huge number of automobiles spread around its surface.
The cartoon, no doubt, aims at alarming humans of the heavy load we have exerted on Earth by our insatiable production and usage of automobiles. However, the majority of people merely indulge in the celebration of the convenience brought by cars, while forgetting or simply neglecting their harmful impact on the atmosphere. Admittedly, there are various factors contributing to the current worldwide air pollution, but it is undeniable that the exhaust from automobiles is categorized as one of the major elements.
I would like to make the following proposals to solve this problem: firstly, we should apply the most cutting-edge technologies in order to adopt new forms of energy as substitutes for fossil fuels. It should also be guaranteed that the clean energy be inexpensive so that it can be widely accepted. Besides, there shold be attempts to develop possible transportation means, so that citizens can be diverted from dependence on cars. In short, it is humans’ responsibility to resume clean air for Earth.
译文：
这幅漫画以拟人的方式呈现地球，它的脸显得非常不高兴。仔细观察这幅图就会发现其郁闷来自于空气污染，这是由于其表面上有着无数车辆在行驶。
毫无疑问，这幅漫画意在向人们敲响警钟，即人类永不知足的生产和使用汽车给我们的地球带来了巨大的负担。但是，大部分人却沉溺于汽车带来方便，而忘记了或者是忽略了其对大气层的负面影响。诚然，有很多因素导致了现在的全球空气污染问题，但是不能否认的是汽车废气被归为最重要的因素之一。
为了解决这个问题，我想提出以下建议：第一，我们应该运用最先进的技术从而以新能源替代化石燃料。同时，我们要确保清洁能源的价格低廉以得到大众的接受。此外，我们应该尝试发展各种交通方式，这样市民们能够摆脱对于汽车的依赖。简而言之，人类有责任来恢复地球的清洁空气。
