It is necessary to share your feelings with others. Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer
to people you care about and who care about you.

Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad, worried, or upset.
Don't keep feelings locked inside. If that, it can even make you feel sick!

But if you talk with someone who cares for you, like your mom or dad, you will not be all alone
with your problems or worries. It doesn't mean your problems and worries go off, but at least
someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it.

If the person doesn't understand what you mean right away, try explaining it in a different way
or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to
speak up your feelings. If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on your mind, write it down
on a piece of paper.


Some
of
us,
just
like
some
adults,
are
more
private
（有隐私的）

than
others.
That
means
some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling
he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help.

In
modern
society
there
is
a
lot
of
disagreement
about
competition.
Some
value
it
highly,
believing that it is good for social progress. Others say that competition is bad. It sets one person
against another. And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who believe that their self-worth depended on how well they did
at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and death matters. In
their single-minded dream of success, the development of many other human qualities
（品质）
is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire
（渴望）
to succeed, others take a different
attitude.
In
a
culture
which
values
only
the
winners,
they
are
strongly
against
competition.
Among the most vocal are youngsters who are under competitive pressures
（压力）
from their
parents or society. They are always told to be the top ones, but they think it's really hard. When I
teach these young people, I often find them in a desire to fail. They seem to search for failure
（失败）
by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse:
may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try. If I had tried and lost, that would
mean a lot.

Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.
Both are based on the mistaken belief. They think one's self-respect depends on how well one
does
compared
with
others.
Both
are
afraid
of
not
being
valued.
Only
as
this
fear
begins
to
dissolve
（消除）
can we discover a new meaning in competition,

（
1
）
Why do some people welcome competition according to the passag?

A. It pushes society forward.

B. It improves one's abilities.

C. It develops human qualities.

D. It builds up friendly relationship.

（
2
）
The underlined phrase

A. those who try their best to win

B. those who value competition most highly

C. those who depend on others most for success

D. those who are against competition most strongly

（
3
）
Which of the following may the writer agree to?

A. Every effort should be paid back.

B. Competition should be encouraged.

C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

D. Fear of failure should be taken away in competition.

（
4
）
What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.

B. Competition is bad for social development.

C. Ideas about competition are different among people.

（
1
）细节题。根据文章提到的

4

We
sometimes
say
the
lion
is

king
of
the
jungle
because
it
is
stronger
and
more
dangerous
than
the
other
animals.
It
can
run
faster
than
most
other
animals
and
it
can
hunt
better. The lion is the highest animal in the land food chain. In the sea the shark is at the top of
the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to
catch other sea animals and eat them.

What is at the top of the world's food chain? Humans are! We are not the biggest or fastest,
but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars and
now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than lions, so we invented guns. Now we
can hunt the best.

People's inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous too. For example, many years ago, in
Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat wild
rabbits. But in recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming bigger and bigger because
the a number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed for the
grass with the sheep and cows. Much of the grassland became desert because it was seriously
destroyed by the rabbits.

Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger too! If we protect animals,
we are protecting ourselves.

United States became the most important in paper-making. Today Finland makes the best paper
