　　In this cartoon， a hen is assuring the public that the eggs she lays are completely round， without any square corners， and that they all have shells and yolks. It seems amusing for the hen to be taking credit for doing nothing more than her duty——to lay ordinary eggs. But there is a deeper social message in this cartoon. [图画图表描述段]

　　Recently it has become common for people in many walks of life to make a lot of high-sounding promises. For instance， administration departments promise efficient performance of their tasks， without any bribery（贿赂）involved. Again， commercial enterprises promise to provide excellent products at reasonable prices and with warm service. At first， we feel that we should thank them for making extra efforts on our behalf； but， upon reflection， we realize that they all have a basic responsibility to do things that they promise. [意义阐释段]

　　"Good wine needs no bush." If businesses and administration do their jobs properly and serve the people， they will prosper without having to make a lot of meaningless promises. [建议措施段]
