Answer 1

1.虽然你的同学可能在某些方面比你好，但你可能在别的科目上比他们好。

2.竞争不是那么可怕。别害怕它。

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是每个人都有自己的长处和优点，因此，虽然我们身处在一个竞争的社会，但是我们没必要害怕，找到自己的长处，相信自己在这些方面会比别人做得更好。

1.】although是一个连词，引导让步状语从句,意思是虽然，尽管；in some ways 在某些方面；be better than 比…更好。由此可知，这句话的意思是：虽然你的同学可能在某些方面比你好，但你可能在别的科目上比他们好。

2.】competition是一个名词，意思是竞争，比赛；terrible 可怕的，糟糕的；be afraid of 害怕，是一个固定的短语。故这句话的意思是：竞争不是那么可怕，不要害怕它。
