In the modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity (繁荣). Others say that competition is bad, that it sets one person against another, that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is really forgotten.

However, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often notice that they have a desire to fail. They seem to choose failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” They don’t believe that if they had really tried and lost, such a loss would prove their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison(比较) with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

1.What does this passage mainly talk about?

2.Why do some people value competition according to the passage?

3.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 refers to_______.

4.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?

5.Which point of view may the author agree to?

Megan

I’m base in Bahrain, and I have a small apartment there. The thing I like most about my job is the chance to meet people from different cultures. I spend a lot of my time handing out food and drinks and clearing up people’s rubbish. I certainly don’t feel very excited about going home at two in the morning.

Frank

I enjoy playing around with word puzzles. So I sent a couple in to a local newspaper and I suppose it is a strange way to spend your day surrounded by dictionaries and books, but it’s great because I’m just doing what I like.

Gemma

I love music and listen to it all the time, even when I go jogging. As for my job – you really can’t be shy in this kind of work, and you have to be very patient because sometimes we practice for hours before we get it right. When we’re on tour, we work for several weeks with no breaks and you can get really tired. For relaxation, whenever I get a holiday, I go straight to a sunny beach.

Raoul

Most people think I spend my day chopping (切) vegetables and washing dishes, but it’s not that simple. I have to be really careful with the food and keep everything very clean. The biggest problem is my boss – he shouts at me all the time – even, for example, if I forget to wash up one plate. Actually, I’m hoping to find a new job soon because I don’t get much time off.

1.What’ s the biggest attractions of Megan’s job?

A. The long holidays　　 B. Handing out food to people.

C. Getting to know different people　　 D. The pleasant working environment

2.Who love working with words?

A. Megan　　 B. Frank

C. Gemma　　 D. Raoul

3.What problem does Raoul face?

A. His strict boss.　　 B. He is careless.

C. His terrible cooking.　　 D. He fails to get enough sleep
