[阅读材料]

  With the development of the Internet, more and more Chinese have accesses to it.According to statistics, students compose a large part of the online population consists of a large part of students.But the influence of the Internet stretches farther than figures suggest.The Internet has great impact on students’ life.As far as I am concerned, the Internet is good for students.

  Firstly, the Internet provides students with many chances to broaden communication with others and improve their relationship with friends.

  Secondly, the Internet brings a particular opportunity for students to obtain a large amount of information that helps with their study.

  Thirdly, through the Internet, students can download data, which are necessary for their studies, such as textbooks, reference materials and surveys on current ?events.

  Though the Internet has its obvious advantages, everything has two sides.The Internet also has its negative influence, which asks students to utilize it in a wise way.As long as students keep this in mind, the Internet’s advantages will always outweigh its disadvantages.

Nowadays, people have a heated discussion on whether the pressure on international sports players kills the essence (真谛) of sport —the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself; he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for the entire nation’s hopes, dreams and reputation.

A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.

Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.

So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really, But it’s nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.

D. some people think international competition is in a way opposite to the pursuit of personal   excellence.
