Question

【題目】Nowadays there are different ideas about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is good for social development. However, others say that competition is bad and that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death events. In their mind what they really want is going for success, the development of many other qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost on the way to success, others take an opposite opinion. Many people are strongly against competition. Among them, most are young people who have suffered from such pressure from their parents. They seem to look for failure by not trying to win or achieve success. ____△____, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” They don’t want to admit（承認）that if they have really tried and lost, they would mean more.

Clearly, this belief(信念) is the same as that of those who try to prove（證明）themselves. Both come from the wrong belief that self-confidence depends on how well one does by comparing with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. If such fear begins to be unimportant, we can have a better knowledge of competition.

【解析】本文主要談論對于競爭的兩種觀念。作者采取總分總的方式進行了說明。首先說出人們對于競爭的不同觀點：有些人非常珍視它，認為它有利于社會發(fā)展。然而，也有人說競爭是壞的，它會導致人與人之間的不友好關系。接著舉例說明，最后說明這兩種觀念都不正確，兩者都來自于一種錯誤的信念，即自信取決于與他人比較的好壞。兩個人都害怕不被重視。如果這種恐懼開始不重要，我們就能更好地了解競爭。
