　　 Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:
　　 1) describe the drawing briefly,
　　 2) explain its intended meaning, and then
　　 3) Suggest counter-measures.

　　 范文：
　　 Today’s society is deluged with fake products and constructions. Given this fact, we still feel quite shocked to discover in this picture that a water disposal station is such a counterfeit project. Polluted water that goes through the station inexplicably remains unchanged, but is able to be drained off into rivers and seas.
　　 The drawing ironically echoes with the insufficient efforts we have committed against pollution. On the one hand, government and the whole society have already arrived at the consensus that great manpower and money should be input to fully implement water conservation policy. On the other hand, some local officials only care about how to bring about a thriving economy and vibrant trade flows, neglecting the accountability of environmental protection. But I would say that the picture reveals an action lacking farsighted view, because pollution, in the long run, will inevitably undermine the fundamentals of economy.
　　 To briefly conclude, the inadequate efforts to pollution issues are posing a fatal threat to mankind’s survival on Earth. To prevent such a pessimistic future, the public should impose great pressure on government to take pollution affairs as priorities. Additionally, those who are responsible for false facilities that claim to address pollution should be fined and chastised.
　　 译文：
　　 现代社会的一大特点就是假冒伪劣产品和工程到处泛滥。虽然我们知道这样一个事实，我们仍然惊讶于图中的污水处理站竟然是如此的一个赝品。经过这个处理站的污水不知为何没有经过任何处理，但却因此可以随意排放到河流和海洋中。
　　 这幅图指出了我们目前在治理污染这个问题上没有花足够的力气。一方面，政府和全社会都达成了以下共识，即我们要花巨大的人力和财力来保护水资源。另一方面，一些地方官员只关心经济和贸易的发展，而忽略了环境保护的责任。我认为这是一种非常缺乏远见的做法，因为污染在长期看来会根本地损害经济。
　　 总而言之，如果解决污染不力的话，会给人类在地球上的生存带来致命的威胁。为了防止这种悲观的前景，公众应该向政府施加压力，以使政府把治理污染作为第一要务。此外，那些假冒的污染处理设施的负责人应该被处以罚款和严惩。
