11、会影响中国传统节日的地位和影响力； 2国内只引进了西方节日的形式，却遗漏了其最重要的内在含义，因此，国人庆祝西方节日的做法毫无意义可言； 3西方节日在中国的流行不仅表明了文化的交融，而且也为我国经济发展带来了很大商机，许多商人开始利用西方节日拓展市场。 提出建议： 1国内民众不应排斥也无须吹捧西方节日，而应当持理性的态度，认清楚过节时，我们需要的是休息和娱乐，而不是消费； 2国人可以借此机会学习和了解西方文化； 3中国传统节日承载我国几千年的文化传统，应当予以重视。 范文融合了现象简述、影响阐释中的 1、 2、 3和建议中的 1进行写作。 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 On Food

29、的想法或经历对此问题进行分析比较，然 后给出理由进行论证。 思路 1：媒体可以曝光名人隐私。 首先公众对名人的日常活动和花边新闻的兴趣不会减退，其次媒体不会放弃其中的巨大利润，并且名人在成名的那一刻起，在获得名誉和金钱的同时就意味着必须付出一定的代价。 思路 2：媒体不能曝光名人隐私。 首先，隐私权是每个人应有的权利，不应被剥夺。其次，对于名人来讲，表演只是他们的职业，和很多人一样，名人也需要有工作以外的私生活。如果记者如此穷追不舍，他们的正常生活也不能保证。另外，一些媒体如今所披露的内容有些过分，甚至伤害到了明星及 其家人。 范文选取了思路 2，从整体结构看，先讨论保护名人隐私确实很困难，然后再解释保护隐私权的必要性。 【知识模块】 作文
