答案 Truth, goodness and beauty are always things man aspires to—that’s the nature of man.Beauty contest is deeply rooted in man’s yearning for beauty and there is no exception with college students. Therefore, some say it is quite natural that college students attend beauty contest to make their life colorful and beautiful.Some others, however, disagree with that.I am on the side of the latter attitude, namely, in my view, college students should be cautious to attend beauty contest. As we all know, beauty contest promotes a kind of ideal beauty, which is only possessed by a minority of college students.It adds to the pressure on all students, especially girls, to conform to it This can be very harmful to them by encouraging dieting, eating disorders and cosmetic surgery, Or simply by making them feel inadequate and ugly, and thus having a relatively low self-esteem. Besides, as college students, the first priority is to obtain plenty of knowledge and acquire necessary skills so that they can support themselves after graduation.If a college student does wish to become part of the entertainment industry, it may be beneficial for him/her to take part in these activities, for the contests can not only broaden his/her horizon beyond books, but also strengthen his/her power of communication.But the truth is that most of college students won’t end up in working in show business. In this case, attending a beauty contest will mean nothing but distractions to their studies and disturbance to their daily life.Then what’s the good point of attending it? Moreover, beauty contest emphasizes too much on physical appearance It can mislead many students, especially female students, to believe that beauty is all-powerful. Beauty means money.They pay lots of attention to putting make-up, pursuing fashion or even chasing good looks through risky plastic surgery, rather than expanding knowledge, enhancing abilities and cultivating inner beauty. In my view, this is really a bad tendency. In a word, beauty is but skin deep; beauty contest does more harm than good.College students should really "look before they leap" when deciding whether to attend a beauty contest or not.
解析    从人性的角度谈起，句式简洁有力。Truth， goodness and beauty意为“真善美”。 aspires to为用词亮点，意为“渴望，追求”。
   be deeply rooted in与yearning for是语言亮点，分别意为“深植于”和“渴望”。there is no exception with sb./ sth．这种句式值得借鉴。
   表示不同意见的典型用语。类似的表达有： Others have different ideas；Others claim the reverse is true等等。
   表示赞同某一观点的典型用语，on the side of意为“站在……一边；赞成”。
   a minority/majority of在写作中应常采用。
   adds to是常用、高频词，意为“增加”。 conform to意为“遵照，顺从”。
   典型长句，其主干为This can be harmful协them by…or simply by…，其中or连接两个并列的by引导的动名词词组。dieting意为“节食”，cosmetic surgery意为“整容手术”，同plastic surgery。
   the first priority意为“最优先考虑的事，享有优先权的事”。
   典型长句，其主干为it is beneficial to take part in…，前面If引导条件状语从句，后面 for引导原因状语从句。does wish为强调结构。
   the truth is that是常用句型，意为“事实/真相是……”。end up in doing意为“以做……而告终"；show business意为“演艺界”。
   修辞问句，也被称为反问句，它们在形式上是问句，意思上却是陈述，用于加强语气。
   all-powerful为用词亮点，意为“全能的，万能的”。
   本句主干为They pay … attention to…rather than…rather than在这里连接并列的动名词短语作介词to的宾语。
   beauty is but skin deep是谚语，意为“美是肤浅的”，使用谚语常能使语言更生动、地道。
   look before they leap由俗语Look before you leap(三思而后行)转化而来，使表达更生动。
