问题     Posts on websites about students on campus making comparison of cost of living surge dramatically. Such a phenomenon in university leads many students to form a habit of outdoing each other with respect to consumption, which is also called "keeping up with the Joneses". What do you think?
    Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic;
    On Keeping up with the Joneses
选项
答案     On Keeping up with the Joneses
    Now in the consumer market, college students, as a special group of consumers, are increasingly attracting people’s attention. Many students tend to be equipped with luxuries such as clothes of famous brands, top-grade cosmetics, and digital products as their peers do, which can be called " keeping up with the Joneses".
    Reasons for this phenomenon are multi-faceted—vanity, drive of desires, and philosophies of seeking pleasure and following the crowd. Students refer to the competition on consumption as a benchmark for identity and wealth, which, once failed, would demonstrate economic or cultural inferiority.
    Such negative emotions have a harmful effect on students themselves, their families, and the society. First, conspicuous consumption brings a tremendous burden to the parents. Second, this philosophy of life endows students with immature personalities and implants naive thoughts in them, which, in the long run, will lead to a distortion of the mind and erosion of values. What’s worse, consequences mentioned above will lead to the moral decline of the whole society since college students are the backbone of the country.
    I think it is high time that we took measures to alleviate the symptoms of such a universal illness on campus. To begin with, parents should not indulge their children’s pursuit of luxuries and more pocket money. Furthermore, students should attach more importance to academic achievements and the cultivation of capabilities rather than to irrational consumption. Finally, the whole society should make joint efforts to better the atmosphere of universities and lead the students to the right way of consumption.
解析     本题是一个观点陈述型题目，要求就学生盲目攀比这一现象发表个人看法。考生可以从该现象产生的原因、影响以及应对措施等角度展开论证。论证时也可结合自己身边的例子，使文章更具说服力。
    思路1：学生相互攀比是市场经济发展的负面产物。
    学生作为心智发展还不成熟的群体，易受经济利益的影响，把名牌、奢侈品这些可以刺激直观感受的物品作为评价个人能力的标准。这种不成熟的、扭曲的价值观需要社会加以修正和引导。
    思路2：学生盲目攀比的行为是由于父母教育的缺失。
    有些家长因为家庭条件好，会无节制地满足孩子各方面的需求，易使孩子产生虚荣心，从而盲目攀比。家长需要转变教育方式。父母是孩子的第一任老师，对孩子的教育直接影响他们今后的人格塑造。因此，家长应该转变教育方式，引导孩子在各方面都健康发展。
    范文首先分析学生产生盲目攀比心理的原因和影响，然后提出应对措施。
