　　University Students’ Pursuit of Famous Brands

　　“What perfumes are you wearing?” “Aren’t your shoes Nike’s latest release?”
“I like the Mickey bag you bought yesterday。” “I hear the Jack¹ & Jones store is on
sale this week. Do you wanna come along?” Don’t feel surprised if you hear them
coming out of the mouth of college students. It’s quite common to hear and see
college students swapping² information about the brands they like and the products they
use. In fact, discussions about brand names have become one of the college students’
favourite pastimes. They learn about the latest fashion from each other, exchange tips
about when and where to get the item, and buy it at their earliest convenience.
“Keeping up with the Joneses” is their conviction – “If the Joneses have it, how
could I have not?”

　　About this current mindset of the college students, many people may hasten to show
their disapproval³. They’ll probably take it to be a reflection of the students’
vanity and superficiality. And they may lecture them on the virtue⁴ of being thrifty⁵。

　　However, I beg to differ. For one thing, name-brand products are usually quality
products. As such, they are something beautiful, endurable, and reliable. “The love
of beauty is common to all,” goes the proverb; therefore, there’s nothing to blame
about the pursuit of famous brands. For the other, college students are old enough to
make their own decisions. Likewise, they must abide⁶ by the consequences if they make
an ill-advised one. If they let their pursuit of brands eat into their budget for
other more important issues, they should be able to correct their mistakes and keep
everything in moderation. So this becomes no other than a good chance to learn
management, isn’t it?

　　◇第一段思路点评：

　　本段分为两个部分，即详细陈述大学生追求和使用名牌的情况，以及人们对此的看法。

　　◇语言点提示：

　　(1)keeping up with the Joneses要在地位和物质上比得上周围的人

　　(2)conviction坚定的信仰、看法

　　(3)vanity and superficiality虚荣心和面子观(肤浅、表面、浅薄)

　　◇第二段思路点评：

　　本段应辩证地分析大学生追求、使用名牌的现象，既有对此肯定的看法，也有否定的看法，即
大学生在追求和使用名牌中汲取经验教训并学会管理。

　　◇语言点提示：

　　(1)abide by the consequences自食其果

　　(2)ill-advised考虑不周的、不明智的

　　(3)in moderation适度、不过分

    预祝大家在这次考试中取得好成绩！
