Personality is to a large extent inherent -- A-type parents usually bring about A-type offspring.
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

By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rar

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.

全文翻譯
人的個(gè)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(yuǎn)的影響,因?yàn)槿绻?jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)父母來(lái)說(shuō)很重要,那它也可能成為孩子生活中的一個(gè)重要因素。
學(xué)校是培養(yǎng)A型孩子的場(chǎng)所,從本質(zhì)來(lái)講,學(xué)校是一個(gè)高度競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性的機(jī)構(gòu)。太多的學(xué)校遵從“不惜一切代價(jià)求勝”的道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn)并以運(yùn)動(dòng)成績(jī)來(lái)衡量其成功。目前熱衷于讓孩子與同學(xué)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)或與時(shí)間賽跑造成了一種雙重體制。在這種體制中,競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性的A型學(xué)生在某些方面似乎比B型的學(xué)生要好。對(duì)勝利過(guò)于執(zhí)著也會(huì)帶來(lái)危險(xiǎn)的后果。請(qǐng)記住,第一位馬拉松運(yùn)動(dòng)員菲底庇德斯在說(shuō)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(jìng)爭(zhēng)方式是對(duì)考試的過(guò)分重視。能允許學(xué)生專注于所擅長(zhǎng)之事的學(xué)校實(shí)為罕見(jiàn)。通過(guò)考試競(jìng)爭(zhēng)這種做法的好處本身有點(diǎn)值得懷疑,但在明確知曉有人會(huì)在考試中失敗的前提下仍進(jìn)行競(jìng)爭(zhēng)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(shí)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(gè)性適合于他將來(lái)的職業(yè)。這是最高水平的教育經(jīng)營(yíng)。
如果學(xué)校少?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)一下學(xué)業(yè),也許就有更多的時(shí)間向孩子傳授更重要的價(jià)值觀念。也許對(duì)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(jī),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(cuò)誤的。B型人也很重要
13、,應(yīng)該受到鼓勵(lì)。
重點(diǎn)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(gè)人是否成功(measure the success by sporting achievements)、以成敗論英雄的社會(huì)必然造就很多“不惜一切代價(jià)獲取成功”(win at all costs)的人的這一事實(shí),可以引申該內(nèi)容與社會(huì)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中的不擇手段和毫無(wú)道德相聯(lián)系。在考研寫(xiě)作中,
14、我們可以完全參照寫(xiě)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.
