范文：

Here is a picture, interesting but with profound implication. It is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon that three men are facing a broken bridge, which successfully captures our eyes. After a closer watch, it is not difficult to find that they show great courage to this challenge. There is no doubt that its symbolic meaning subtly conveyed should be given deep consideration.

As is revealed in the drawings, the fact is that an optimistic attitude is urgently needed. To begin with, if you look around, you will see that people with a positive attitude enjoy life more and are generally happier and more successful than those who walk around grumpy and pessimistic. In addition, our attitude is the driving force in our lives—it can either push you to do great things or pull you down to your demise. Twists and turns in life are unavoidable and are not always awful. We should have a more optimistic view on life, try to make the most of it and draw lessons from the bumps and turns along the way.

Therefore, it is high time that we took effective measures when we are confronted with difficulties. For example, an education campaign should be launched to popularize the idea that “the attitude determines the altitude”, and to cultivate an optimistic attitude toward life is beneficial for maintaining a mental well-being. Only in this way can people realize their value of life better and can social harmony be achieved.

各位考生在使用范文时注意不要照搬，取其精华去其糟粕，结合自己的语言整合成属于自己的范文，预祝各位考生考研初试顺利，取得好成绩。
