对图表的描述：
The period 1984 - 1998 saw a great increase in family bank deposits in China's cities and
towns. In 1984, the average family deposits was 1338 yuan while in 1998 it rose to 32 000 yuan. Compared with the total bank deposits in 1984, the amount in 1998 was 19.4 times as much as that year.
对图表的概括：
Several factors may contribute to this change. First, with the development of reform and open up, the family income has greatly increased and people have more spare money to put in the bank. Second, people are no longer content to buy small items and they save money to purchase more expensive things such as cars and houses. Third, it seems that to put money in banks is still a main investment for most families. Families are willing to deposit money in banks to gain interests as well as to con-
tribute to the construction of our country.
对图表所作的结论：
From above analysis, we can see clearly as long as we adhere to reform and open-up policy, the family income will continue to increase and meanwhile the family will have more spare money to put in the bank. Example II
Health Gains in Developing Countries
(1996.6)
1.以下图为依据描述发展中国家的预期寿命(life expectancy)和婴儿死亡率(infant mortality)的变化情况。

2．说明引起变化的原因。

In the developing countries great changes took place in life expectancy and infant mortality in the period from 1960 to 1990. In 1960 life expectancy was very low, while infant mortality was very high. However, in 1990 life expectancy increased, whereas infant mortality declined.
There are many reasons for the changes, but in general, they come down to three major ones. First, their living conditions were improved. In the old days people in tile developing countries suffered hunger and were exposed to the elements. Nowadays they are well fed and housed. Naturally they live longer than before. Besides, the medical condition
was also improved and so the adequate medical treatment ensures the adults' health and reduces infant mortality. Most important of all, in the early 60s there were constant wars in some developing countries because of the colonial rule and so a lot of people were killed in wars. Nowadays most developing countries have become independent countries and their people live a peaceful life.
In conclusion, the national independence and social stability are responsible for these changes.。
