In 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. 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 the most vocal 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 because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistake 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.What does this text mainly talk about?

A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.

B. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

C. People hold different opinions about competition.

D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.

2.Some people favor competition because they think it __.

A. builds up a sense of pride

B. pushes society forward

C. improves social abilities

D. develops people's relationship

3. The underlined phrase "the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 refers to those who

A. are strongly against competition

B. highly value competition

C. try their best to win

D. mostly rely on others for success

4. Which viewpoint does the author agree to?

A. Self-worth relies on winning.

B. Competition leads to unfriendly relationship.

C. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

D. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m one of your customer, I ordered a set of books on your website two weeks ago, but I didn’t received it until yesterday. And much to my disappointment, the books were too poorly packed up that the cover of one book were torn. To make matters worse, it is not a complete set, as I found one book missed.

I’m sorry to have received such poorly service, and I believe I have every right ask you to deal with this problem. I hope you either return my money back or deliver a new set of books to me. Beside, I’d like to be informed of the process of your deal with my complaint.

I’m looking forward to your reply.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Once upon a time in an old forest, there was a poor woodcutter 1. (cut) wood by the lake. One day, his axe斧子）fell into the lake 2. accident. The poor woodcutter didn’t know how to swim, 3. he could do nothing but pray to the lake goddess.

The lake goddess heard his prayer and appeared before him.

“Help me!” said the woodcutter, “I’m very poor，and I lost my only axe. If I don't get my axe back，my family will starve to 4. (dead)，please help me!” He cried. After a while, the goddess brought out an axe 5. (make) of gold from the lake.

“Is this your axe，my good man? ” asked the goddess.

"No." Then the goddess brought out a silver axe, but the woodcutter said that wasn’t his axe again.

The 6. (three) time, she brought out the woodcutter’s axe. The woodcutter jumped up

7. (happy) and said，“This is my axe. Thank you very much!”

At the end of the story, the goddess was very pleased with the woodcutter’s honesty. He just wanted 8. he deserved So she decided 9. (give) both the gold and silver axe to him. The woodcutter sold the axes, and 10. (become) a rich man.

The moral of this story is that honesty is the best policy.

“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder that more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with complaining about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.

Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的）rude messages by email.

However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.

We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

A. People can tell good from bad behavior.

2.Some people are less willing to deal with humans because__________.
