1. We can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own; disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning.
keys: views we share disagreement
论证分析： 只有不同的观点才能对我们的观点形成互补，才能使我们的观点更加全面。但是不能否认有共同观点的人的建议和意见的价值。
提纲：
A. Contradictive opinion always serve to sharply reveal some flaws in your opinion or theory. In contrast, those who accede to opinion are always inclined to neglect even cover up the shortcoming existing in your view. An obvious example is the debate since the opponents can easily find the flaws and weakness in your argument. Consequently, a heated debate, in most cases, leads to a thorough and comprehensive understanding about the subject in discussion.
B. Moreover, contradictory views can inspire you to look into the details of the problem. Admittedly, opposing views may produce some stress but it will by no means inhibit learning. On the contrary, they can serve as an inspiration for exploration and discovery in the realm of knowlege and science. Just as the Chinese old saying goes, " The more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes."

ReplyDeleteKeys: Competition
论证分析： 竞 争是生物界和人类社会的一个普遍规律。积极的，良性的竞争是应当肯定的。所谓竞争，就是充分发挥自己的才能。追求成功，并努力超过他人，成为先进者。这种 竞争就是自立，自强，敢为天下先。在正当的目的，手段和方式下的竞争，能使每个人的智慧，才能和人格，得到充分的发展和表现，从而实现人生理想目标。因 此，只有在竞争中自立，自强的个体所组成的群体，才能有整体的活力和创造力，没有竞争的个体所组成的群体，是缺乏生命力和创造力的。竞争是群体发展和富有 创造力的根本机制。
但 是个人的竞争性要能够正常发挥，同时必须发展群体意识，积极与他人协作，互助。竞争本身是智慧，才能的比赛，同时也是品德，人格的比赛。在竞争中，竞争者 一方面要不怕强者，不怕嫉妒，敢于争强，力求争先；另一方面，又需要善于同他人协作，互助，增长群体情感和合作精神。事实上，竞争本身就是需要互助，信息 交流，友谊鼓励和支持，情绪安稳及紧张后的娱乐，在交际和协作中，得到知识，增长经验，提高取得成功的能力。正是竞争激发着人们强烈的协作愿望和行动。
在 人生的过程中，正确地对待竞争，必须注意同他人的联合和协作，在联合与协作过程中，既要有“敢为天下先”的勇气，又要注意把个人的作用同群体的力量结合起 来。要竞争，就是必须克服自卑心理，嫉妒心理。要在竞争中取胜，要克服轻慢心理，要看到竞争者之间的差别不是绝对的，而是相对的。在一定条件下是可以转化 的，既不要大意，也不要惧怕强手而却步；要有不畏强手，绝不示弱的精神和拼劲。当然，不示弱，也要根据实际对比力量，不能盲目自信，盲目轻慢对手，以致做 毫无把握的竞争。人生的积极竞争，是在共同幸福，进步前提下的友好竞争。这种竞争的本质上是一种竞赛，既要有求胜，成功的强烈缘湾，又要搞好协作，协调， 以正当的手段和方式进行竞争，以利于共同进步和共同事业的发展。
提纲：
1社会是由个体构成，首先竞争是个体进步的动力。任何人都希望做得更好，甚至最好，由此竞争的关系产生了。
Individuals compose society, and competition is the essential driving force of each individual. Desire for excellence fosters our individual competitive impulse, but it takes more than enthusiasm and resolve to succeed. We need continuous improvement at a rate exceeding our competitors. We must, therefore, compare. Are they better than I am? How big is the difference? Where does it come from? What's my deficiency? How can I improve myself? What can I learn from my competitors? Such thoughts urge us to re-evaluate others and ourselves, and to improve. This pressure manifests ambition for knowledge and development. If expecting a basketball match, we would certainly exercise, analyze the rival's advantages and disadvantages and try to benefit from these. Knowledge and skills acquired in the process will remain for future matches.Naturally, the heavier the pressure of competition, the greater the subsequent improvement.
2竞争可以促进整个社会的进步并且提高整个社会的效率。正是竞争促进新技术的产生，也是竞争促使更优质的服务。
Society likewise benefits from such competition , whether it be among individuals, teams, companies, groups or political parties. Since each want to win, each works hard to develop. Consequently, all of the competitors improve. Furthermore, in competition for dominance, political parties may offer beneficial and appealing polices to their public. If companies contend for customers, they may produce higher-quality products or services. The general public receives the direct benefits of such competition. This is, to some extent, precisely how society progresses. Competition is a way of life in today's world. The capitalist society encourages competition. Individuals and companies alike, for the sake of survival in competition, must continue to improve their services and products, and as a result, the entire society prospers, at least economically. Cooperation in the form of monopoly or price-fixing is illegal in the capitalist world as it kills the spirit of competition. American people do not allow their government to operate any business as they believe that the government -run business will be ineffective due to lack of competition. China has certainly experience the vitality of this competitiveness in the past decade since her adoption of the "Reform and Opening Up" policy.
3但是在强调竞争带给社会好处的同时，我们也不能忽略竞争又肯能带来的负面影响。因此，我们要对竞争加以限制，引导那些有利的竞争而规避那些不利的竞争。
The nature of modern competition is rather to win than defeat. If competitors place too much emphasis on the result, and try to defeat other competitors by undermining them, the following success might prompt other members of society to seek similar methods to success. The employment of vicious methods and negative campaigning can only lead to a harmful, downward social trend. So it is crucial for competitors to keep in mind that the ultimate outcome of competition is self improvement.
