【文章內容簡介】 dumped(傾倒垃圾 ) the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem. Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property(房地產 ) is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅區的 ) neighborhoods. Longdistance trash transporting has been a mon practice but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.

Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that petition 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 selfworth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often lifeanddeath affairs. In their singleminded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly fotten. 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 petition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under petitive pressure 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 doesn39。t matter because I really didn39。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 petitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in parison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (緩解 ) can we discover a new meaning in petition. 49. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. Competition helps to set up selfrespect. B. Opinions about petition are different among people. C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development. D. Failures are necessary experiences in petition. 50. Why do some people favor petition according to the passage? A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty. C.

One39。s worth lies in his performance pared with others. B. One39。s success in petition needs great efforts. C. One39。s achievement is determined by his particular skills. D. One39。s success is based on how hard he has tried. 52. Which point of view may the author agree to? A. Every effort should be paid back. B. Winning should be a lifeanddeath matter. C. Competition should be encouraged. D. Fear of failure should be removed in petition. D First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available.
