2、 But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children. 　　One place where children soak up A-characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive instituti

3、on. Too many schools adopt the ‘win at all costs’ moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A-types seem in some way better than th

4、eir B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying: “Rejoice, we conquer!” 　　By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rar

5、e school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful. 　　Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A-youngsters change int

6、o B’s. The world needs A types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child’s personality to his possible future employment. It is top management. 　　If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer values. Perhaps selecti

7、on for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A-type stock. B’s are important and should be encouraged. 　　習(xí)題 　　1. Accordin

11、n competitive society 　　全文翻譯 　　人的個性很大程度上取決于遺傳—A型父母通常生養(yǎng)出A型子女。但是環(huán)境也應(yīng)該有深遠的影響，因為如果競爭對父母來說很重要，那它也可能成為孩子生活中的一個重要因素。 　　學(xué)校是培養(yǎng)A型孩子的場所，從本質(zhì)來講，學(xué)校是一個高度競爭性的機構(gòu)。太多的學(xué)校遵從“不惜一切代價求勝”的道德標(biāo)準并以運動成績來衡量其成功。目前熱衷于讓孩子與同學(xué)競爭或與時間賽跑造成了一種雙重體制。在這種體制中，競爭性的A型學(xué)生在某些方面似乎比B型的學(xué)生要好。對勝利過于執(zhí)著也會帶來危險的后果。請記住，第一位馬拉松運動員菲底庇德斯在說完“歡慶吧，我們征服了!”之后幾秒鐘便倒

12、地喪生。 　　學(xué)校最糟糕的競爭方式是對考試的過分重視。能允許學(xué)生專注于所擅長之事的學(xué)校實為罕見。通過考試競爭這種做法的好處本身有點值得懷疑，但在明確知曉有人會在考試中失敗的前提下仍進行競爭是肯定有害的。 　　顯然，讓所有A型兒童都轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)锽型既不現(xiàn)實也并不必要。世界需要不同的類型，學(xué)校的.重要職責(zé)就是要努力使兒童的個性適合于他將來的職業(yè)。這是最高水平的教育經(jīng)營。 　　如果學(xué)校少強調(diào)一下學(xué)業(yè)，也許就有更多的時間向孩子傳授更重要的價值觀念。也許對照料性職業(yè)的人員選擇，尤其是醫(yī)務(wù)工作，可以少參照他們的化學(xué)成績，而要更多地考慮他們的敏感性和同情心。完全從A型人中挑選醫(yī)生肯定是錯誤的。B型人也很重要

13、，應(yīng)該受到鼓勵。 　　重點句 　　Too many schools adopt the “win at all costs” moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. 　　該句意義： 　　該句直接抨擊了學(xué)習(xí)以成就去估量一個人是否成功(measure the success by sporting achievements)、以成敗論英雄的社會必然造就很多“不惜一切代價獲取成功”(win at all costs)的人的這一事實，可以引申該內(nèi)容與社會競爭中的不擇手段和毫無道德相聯(lián)系。在考研寫作中，

14、我們可以完全參照寫出相應(yīng)的句子。比如：Too many people adopt the “win at all costs” moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. 　　習(xí)題答案　　答案:CBBC 　　1.According to the passage, A-type individuals are usually__. 　　1.根據(jù)這篇文章，A型性格的人通常是_________________。 　　[A] impatient 　　[A] 缺乏耐心的 　　[B] considerat
