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 competition. Among the strongest are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures 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 doesn’t matter because I really didn’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 competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self­respect 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 dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

　　答案

　　课时作业(十九)

　　Ⅰ.1.B　考查动词与介词的搭配。congratulate sb. on (doing) sth.是一固定短语，表示“向某人祝贺……”。

　　2．B　考查短语辨析。stand out表示“突出，显眼”；make out表示“理解”；work out表示“算出”；turn out表示“结果是，原来是，证明是”。根据句意“橘黄色背景上，这些黑色的字很显眼”可知，答案为B。
