题目内容
11.In modern society there is a lot of disagreement about competition.Some value it highly,believing that it is good for social progress.Others say that competition is bad.It sets one person against another.And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who believe that their self-worth depended on how well they did at tennis and other skills.For them,playing well and winning are often life-and-death matters.In their single-minded dream of success,the development of many other human qualities(品质) is sadly forgotten.
However,while some seem to be lost in the desire(渴望) to succeed,others take a different attitude.In a culture which values only the winners,they are strongly against competition.Among the most vocal are youngsters who are under competitive pressures(压力) from their parents or society.They are always told to be the top ones,but they think it's really hard.When I teach these young people,I often find them in a desire to fail.They seem to search for failure(失败) 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.If I had tried and lost,that would mean a lot."
Clearly,this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief.They think one's self-respect depends on how well one does compared with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this fear begins to dissolve (消除) can we discover a new meaning in competition.
