[00:00.23]易考范文三十三

[00:05.01]As can be seen in the picture,

[00:08.81]a college student parks his car outside the campus.

[00:11.95]He is equipped with a notebook computer,

[00:14.82]a digital camera, an MP3 and dressed

[00:17.93]in clothes of famous brand. Ironically,

[00:21.35]on the wall behind him there is a slogan

[00:24.98]advocating independence and thrift 1

[00:27.25]among college students.

[00:29.32]This picture conveys a clear message that

[00:32.91]college students ought to maintain a rational attitude

[00:35.94]toward consumption and a positive

[00:38.44]outlook on life and studies.

[00:40.39]This phenomenon, in reality, is not uncommon 2.

[00:43.98]As a member of a highly consumption-oriented society,

[00:48.27]young people are increasingly aware of new products

[00:51.95]and famous brands. However, they are liable

[00:55.60]to buy things impulsively 3 and less sensibly

[00:58.33]than the market as a whole. On the other hand,

[01:01.14]young people are heavily dependent on their parents,

[01:04.95]who usually exert themselves to satisfy

[01:07.44]the demands of their children,

[01:09.09]because most Chinese families have only one child

[01:13.28]due to the one-child policy. In addition,

[01:16.98]the fact that college students channel

[01:19.38]too much energy and time into shopping

[01:21.86]and keeping up with the Joneses makes it unlikely

[01:25.57]for them to concentrate on their study,

[01:27.81]which is the major task for them as students.

[01:30.44]Since independence, diligence and thrift

[01:33.90]are virtues 4 many college students lack,

[01:36.02]it is vital that families, society as well as schools

[01:40.30]guide them in terms of consumption

[01:42.23]and impress on them the importance of

[01:44.77]industry and self-support.
