This type of entertainment program is intensely popular, especially among young adults and has produced profound impacts on their studies and life.There are a couple of reasons behind the tide. To start with, young folks need role models to learn from. So many of them are crazy for contestants participating in these programs. This gives rise to the increasing emergence of these shows because TV networks naturally need to cater to young audiences. Plus, thanks to economic and political reforms carried out by the government, this crop of young generation have more freedom and desire to express and showcase themselves. Therefore, a growing number of young people desire to get involved in these shows.This is a divisive topic.On my personal level, the talent show is a superb means of relaxing and amusing and can hugely relieve our strains. As college students, however, we could not afford to indulge in them and should be aware of the utmost importance of studies.a couple of 一對，幾個，三兩個；兩三個；兩個，幾個。a variety of 種種；各種各樣，不同種類；多種多樣的；若干不同的。and so forth 等等，諸如此類，如此等等。intensely 強烈地，極度；緊張地，認真地；熱情地，熱切地。profound 深深的，深刻的，深切的，深度的；淵博的，造詣深的，深奧的；深邃的，很深的；全然的，完全的。tide 潮，潮汐，潮水；浪潮；潮流，趨勢，形勢；潮水般的奔流；使隨潮水漂流。role model 榜樣角色，模范。young fogey穿著舉止造作的中產(chǎn)年輕人.folk 廣大成員，人們；民間的，民眾的，通俗的。so much of 甚至于。crazy for 渴望。contestant 參加競賽者，角逐者；質(zhì)疑者；競爭者；選手；參賽人。participate in 參加；參與，參加，分享。give rise to 引起；是發(fā)生，造成；導致為...的原因；導致，產(chǎn)生。emergence 出現(xiàn)，浮現(xiàn)，露頭；上升，出射，羽化。network 網(wǎng)眼織物；網(wǎng)狀物；廣播網(wǎng)，電視網(wǎng)；電腦網(wǎng)絡(luò)；網(wǎng)絡(luò)，網(wǎng)路。cater to 迎合，為...服務(wù)；款待；投合。naturally 自然地，天然地，自然而然。plus 加，加上；外加，另有。thanks to 幸虧，由于。political reform 政治改革。carry out 實現(xiàn)；完成，落實，貫徹；執(zhí)行，進行到底。crop (同時產(chǎn)生的)一批,一群。大量[S][(+of)].showcase 展示，炫耀；陳列。a number of 一些；若干，許多；一些，許多。involve in 涉及，卷入，使進入，使連累；牽涉，包含。divisive 區(qū)分的；分裂的；引起不和的。superb 堂皇的，宏偉的，華麗的；極好的，上乘的，一流的；卓越的，杰出的；出色的。amusing 有趣的，好玩的；引人發(fā)笑的。hugely 巨大地，非常地。indulge in 沉溺于，縱情于，享受于，沉湎于；喜愛。utmost 極限，竭盡所能；極度的，極限的。食品安全問題On the Food SecurityOver the past couple of years, several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media. The problem of food security has bee a hot button across society. The prevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public health, which the government could not afford to ignore, according to the online edition of the People Daily. There are a couple of driving forces, I would argue, behind this undesirable tide. First, in the course of the rapid economic evolution, we ignore moral education, giving rise to the rising rate of the problem. More importantly, the lack of adequate regulation and punishment on those illegal producers enforces the trend. As Confucius instructed, it is better late than never. Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend. The government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again. I am firmly convinced that through our bined efforts we are bound to enjoy more riskfree foods in the days ahead.社會不文明現(xiàn)象 On Uncivilized BehaviorsWe cannot fail to notice that countless uncivilized behaviors exist in our daily lives, such as spitting, talking loudly, littering, saying nasty words in public places and so forth. All these are bad manners that we should not lose sight of. As an ancient land enjoying a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years, China is witnessing a surge in improper acts that every Chinese citizen should feel ashamed of. Uncivilized behaviors by a host of Chinese both at home and abroad have seriously affected China’s image, according to an editorial posted on People Daily’s official website. As Chinese, we should not get offended when others point out our weaknesses but should focus more attention on improving ourselves. We should strive to identify the causes of those improper behaviors and find ways to eliminate them. There are a host of causes, I would argue, behind this trend. To name only one: the lack of moral education. The government should wage a massive moral campaign to fight against this trend and we ourselves should endeavor to behave decently in our daily lives. As college students of the new age, we should take the leading role.感恩 On Cultivating the Sense of GratitudeOn college campuses across the nation, there is a noticeable phenomenon that we cannot afford to ignore: far too many young college students lack the sense of gratitude, one of the countless traditional virtues of this ancient land with a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years. These young adults were not and are not aware of the huge importance of expressing gratitude to those who once helped them, from teachers to parents and so forth. Personally, I deem that the root cause of students without a graceful heart is that they receive an education not valuing the moral sphere. I strongly believe that joint efforts from folks across society are the final remedy for this social headache. As young university students of the new era, we should make our own contributions to this cause. Imagine a world without the sense of gratitude. This kind of world is doomed to failure. Simply put, we should join our hands to heighten our awareness of fostering a graceful heart. Only in this way can we build our society into a harmonious one. My fellow students, I beg you to act from now on.大學生使用信用卡現(xiàn)象 On Credit CardAt present, a wide vareity of credit cards issued by major banks and shopping malls are thriving in colleges and universities across the nation, with a multitude of college students making up a growing population of card holders. Indeed, one out of five students is estimated to be in possession of at least one credit card, and the figure is ex
