答案 In the cartoon we see a servant bringing a cup of coffee for the emperor. The joke is that the idea of emperor and the idea of coffee do not usually come together. It is funny to think of the emperor drinking coffee. But the cartoon may yet have another meaning. It implies that emperor, if he is still there today, will have learned to drink coffee. Modernization is a historical trend. China is a country with a long history. It has many special traditions and customs. They are the nation’s great treasures and we should do our best to preserve them. However, as China opens up to the world, more and more foreign ideas and products come into the country. How we face this western influence and what relationship should be established between the east and the west have become urgent questions for us to answer. For example, should we allow a coffee shop to be opened in the Forbidden City, a place which is thought to represent the essence of oriental life? Can the coffee shop integrate itself into the surrounding or will it form an eye sore? I believe that we should be open-minded about western influence. If it is good, we should not refuse it. A coffee shop in the Forbidden City will not pose any threat to our traditional culture. It will instead provide a convenient resting place for visitors who have to walk through the huge palace. The spirit of the 21st century is cooperation and coexistence. We should allow different cultures to exist together and flourish together.
