6、ef that ones 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 disappear can we discover a new meaning in competition.語(yǔ)篇解讀本文為議論文，題材為社會(huì)生活。文章討論的是人們對(duì)于競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的不同態(tài)度。有的人非常重視競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，認(rèn)為它有益于社會(huì)的進(jìn)步；有的人認(rèn)為競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)人的

12、有當(dāng)這種基本的、害怕失敗的態(tài)度消失時(shí)，我們才能找到競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的真正含義。即作者認(rèn)為在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中，不要總擔(dān)心失敗。B(2017河北區(qū)一模)Going shopping seems easy，but actually it takes a lot of learning，especially in America.In fact，many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at “sales” or at special stores that sell things at low prices，which you may find interesti
