　　Study the following photos carefully and write an essay in which you should

　　1)describe the photos briefly;

　　2)interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and

　　3)give your point of view.

　　圖一：把崇拜寫在臉上。

　　圖二：花300元做個(gè)"小貝"頭。注：Beckham(貝克漢姆)：英國(guó)足球明星。

　　As is vividly depicted in the photos above, Beckham, the smart British football superstar, is enjoying a striking popularity among the adolescents. In the first picture,Beckham’s name appears on a young man’s face. The caption indicates that worship for the idol is written on the face. In the second photograph,another young person is doing Beckham’s chic hairstyle in a barbershop. We are informed that he is spending 300 yuan imitating his idol’s haircut.

　　Undoubtedly, the pictures have subtly reflected the social phenomenon that idol worship is prevalent among the teenagers nowadays. Beckham represents the image of sport hero whose handsome appearance and unparalleled football skills are passionately adored by all the sports fans. Likewise, several teenage girls won their fame overnight in The 2005 Super Girl Contest in China, which provoked nationwide noisy debates on the value and harm of admiring these idols. Briefly speaking, young people are inclined toidolize the people who excel in appearance, intelligence or talent.

　　Hence, idolatry, the thought-provoking social phenomenon, is a double-edged sword whichcan exert profound influence on the growth of young people. If we simplyworship the idols by imitating theirhairstyle or pursuing fashions unreasonably, the obsession will certainly waste us a great deal of time and money, endangering the efficiencyof our work. On the contrary, we will lead a positive and fruitful life if we endeavor toimprove ourselves by bridging the gap between our models and us. Accordingly, the latter attitude should be adopted to direct our way of life. (255 words）
