题目内容
15.In modern society(社会) there is a great deal of argument about competition.Some value it highly,for they believe that it is helpful for social progress and richness.Others say that competition is bad,and that it sets one person against another and leads to unfriendliness between people.I have trained many children who held the belief(看法) that their self worth came from how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them,playing well and winning are often life and death matters.Sadly,they forget to develop many other human qualities.However,while some seem to be lost in the strong wish to succeed,others think quite the opposite.In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary(普通) players,they strongly blame competition,especially youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures(压力) from their parents or society.Teaching these young people,I often find that they even choose 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."In fact,they are worried that if they had really tried and failed,the failure would mean that they were worth nothing.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 worth comes from how well one performs in comparison(比较) with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.We can only discover a new meaning in competition as such worries and fear begin to disappear.分析 翻译:现代社会有许多关于竞争的争论.有的人支持竞争,他们认为竞争对社会是有帮助的.也有人说竞争是有害的,反对竞争的人认为他会挑起人们之间的斗争,给人们之间带来不友好,我训练了很多儿童,他们的自我价值来自于他们如何在网球和其他的技能方面有多好,一些孩子们觉得他们打得好,赢就是事关生死的大事,可悲的是,他们忘了培养人的其他品质.然而,有些人似乎失去了对成功的强烈愿望,其他人则相反.他们只关注赢家而不关心普通球员,他们强烈谴责竞争,尤其是年轻人受到来自他们父母或社会的竞争压力,教这些年轻人,我经常发现,他们甚至选择失败.他们似乎不想获得成功,而选择不去尝试,是因为他们害怕输,害怕失败,如果他们不尝试,他们就可以为自己找到一个借口,我可能会输,但不要紧,因为我真的没有尝试."事实上,他们担心的是,如果他们真的尝试和失败,失败就意味着他们没有任何价值.显然,这种观点是真正的竞争者就是试图证明自己一样.两者都是错误的观点,一个人的自我价值是在与他人相比较.他们都害怕不被重视.我们只要发现了竞争的新意义,这种担忧和恐惧也就开始消失了.
解答 36.forward.根据for they believe that it is helpful for social progress可知一些支持竞争的人认为,竞争对社会是有帮助的,这里的意思是推进社会向前发展,故填forward.
37.causes.根据Others say that competition is bad,and that it sets one person against another and leads to unfriendliness between people.可知反对竞争的人觉得他会挑起人们之间的斗争,给人们之间带来不友好,句中lead to意为;导致,即引起某种结果,它的同义词是cause,故填causes.
38.only just.根据For them,playing well and winning are often life and death matters.可知一些孩子们觉得表现好,赢经常是事关生死的大事,因此这样的孩子只知道争强好胜,只关心输赢,故填only just.
39.failing.根据They seem to choose failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying,they always have an excuse可知有些孩子选择不去尝试,是因为他们害怕输,害怕失败,如果他们不尝试,他们就可以为自己找到一个借口,句中prevent sb from doing sth阻止某人做某事,故填failing
40.suggestions 或advice.根据We can only discover a new meaning in competition as such worries and fear begin to disappear可知作者觉得我们能够发现竞争的新意义,这是作者给我们的建议,故填suggestions 或advice.
