答案 Yes, I think they do. They need to act as role models—not just for young people, but for all people. They need to consider their actions very carefully and should be even more careful than ordinary people not to get involved in anything that it illegal or that even looks illegal. I have no problem with that. If a person has a special talent, they should be able to make money from it—as long as it’s legal, of course! They can be an inspiration to others. I mean, how many millions of people have looked at Bill Gates and said "Hey, I want to be rich like him!" This leads people to do greater and better things. Good luck to them! I think that the most admired people are successful businesspeople—whether they are from my country or from abroad. Young people especially want to get rich so they try to copy these successful businesspeople. They read their books of advice. Some entertainers—you know, singers, actors and musicians-are admired too, but often they get themselves involved in petty scandals and then people lose their admiration for such people. Only if it is something that happens at a public event or if it is something that the public has a genuine right to know about—for example if a famous person commits a crime. Nowadays, the media likes to intrude into the private lives of famous people too much. It’s not important what clothes they wear, which food they eat or what they do with their kids in their free time. That’s something that we just don’t need to know. People should look at their own lives a bit more carefully. If they have really done something to benefit society, then I think that’s fine. People like Mother Theresa and Isaac Newton should have monuments, but not people like Beckham and Andy Lau. They’ve done well in life, but they haven’t really made a great contribution to society. Why not? However, 1 think that the honours should be decided by an independent panel rather than by politicians. Very often, politicians just give honours to the people who helped them with their careers rather than to people who truly deserve them.
