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 of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, 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 those who complain most are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek 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 be cause I really didn't try. "What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, ________________ . Such a loss would be the measure of their worth.

Clearly, this belief is the same as that of 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 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]Global difference in intelligence is a sensitive topic, long filled with a large number of different opinions. But recent data has indeed shown cognitive (认知的) ability to be higher in some countries than in others. What's more, IQ scores have risen as nations develop—a phenomenon known as the "Flynn effect". Many causes have been put forward for both the intelligence difference and the Flynn effect, including education, income, and even non-agricultural labor. Now, a new study from researchers at the University of New Mexico offers another interesting theory: intelligence may be linked to infectious-disease rates.
　　[2]The brain, say author Christopher Eppig and his colleagues, is the "most costly organ in the human body". Brainpower consumes almost up to 90 percent of a newborn's energy. It's clear that if something affects energy intake while the brain is growing, the impact could be long and serious. And for vast parts of the globe, the biggest threat to a child's body—and therefore brain—is parasitic (由寄生虫引起的) infection. These illnesses threaten brain development________________. They can directly attack live tissue, which the body must then try every means to replace. They can invade the digestive pipe and block nutritional intake. They can rob the body's cells for their own reproduction. And then there's the energy channeled (输送) to the immune system to fight the infection.
　　[3]Using data on national "disease burdens" (life years lost due to infectious diseases) and average intelligence scores, the authors found they are closely associated. The countries with the lowest average IQ scores have the highest disease burdens without exception. On the contrary, nations with low disease burdens top the IQ list.
　　[4]If the study holds water, it could be revolutionary for our understanding of the still-confusing variation in national intelligence scores.

［1］In a study likely to make school caretakers embarrassed, U.S. researchers said that chewing gum may help improve performances of teenagers. Many schools ban chewing gum because children often throw away the sticky chaw under chairs or tables. But the study found that students who chewed gum during math class had higher scores on a math test and better grades than students who did not chew gum in the class.

［2］“For the first time, we’ve been able to show in a real-life kind of situation that students did perform better when they were allowed to chew,”said Gil Leveille, director of the Wrigley Science Institute. Wrigley has gotten feedback from many of its gum customers who say chewing gum helps them stay focused.

［3］The researchers studied four math classes（108 students aged 13 to 16）.About one half got free Wrigley’s sugar-free gum to chew during class, homework and tests. They chewed at least one stick of gum 86 percent of the time they were in math class and 36 percent of the time they were doing homework. The other half_____________.

［4］After 14 weeks, the gum chewers had a 3 percent increase in their math scores on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills achievement test, a small but significant change. As a matter of fact, the gum chewers did get better final grades in the class than their non-chewing peers.

［5］Leveille said chewing gum helps reduce stress, so students can do their best work. And while he is aware that many schools have a dim view on students’ chewing gum in class, he hopes the findings may change that a bit.

［6］“It’s not a matter of chewing. It’s a matter of gum disposal（处理），”Leveille said, adding that it can be overcome by teaching proper disposal methods. If that failed, he joked, “We’ll have to provide the cleaners with scrapers（刮刀）”

Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you gain the most from them, and make sure you do not waste this wonderful opportunity to learn?

〔1〕Be positive about school! Don't say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join in lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile.

〔2〕Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.

〔3〕Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.

〔4〕__________________________. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time.

〔5〕Don't be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly. Everyone fails some tests, loses some matches and has bad days. Friends are not always perfect, and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things. Don't let small problems seem very big and important.

〔6〕Talk about problems—sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don't be too embarrassed to turn to others. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything!

〔7〕Plan your time. Don't waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practise English, or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.

Follow my advice, and have a happy school-life!
