The Lake
The day when Robert was born was the happiest day of my life. Unfortunately my wife decided she no longer wanted to be married to me. My little boy and I had to part, only getting to see each other every weekend.
One day, I decided to go fishing with my son, who was about 5 years old, at a nearby lake. We arrived at the lake early. Getting out of the car, we brought out all of the fishing equi pment and our life jackets and the cooler that had our tasty lunch in it. I could just the day in my mind in hopes that it would never end. We both went out onto the dock（船塢）and I thought, “Do I put his life jacket on first or load the boat first?” I saw him skipping rocks on the water, so I decided to load the boat first.
I was just finishing up when I heard the splash. I turned and looked quickly expecting to see Robert standing there, but I did not see him anywhere. I jumped into the water to save my son immediately. I searched and searched but found him nowhere. I came up for a breath hoping to see him above water, now wondering how I could find him in the murky（渾濁的）water. I finally decided to go all the way to the bottom and around, not coming up until I found him.
Finally, there on the bottom he was, his arms wrapped around the wooden pole that holds up the dock. I brought him to the and put him on the bank. While both of us were coughing and spitting out water, I just hugged him and was that I had found him in time.
When things finally calmed down, I asked one simple question, “Robert, why were you onto that pole on the bottom of the lake?” He looked at me with the most innocent and loving eyes and simply replied, “I was waiting for you, Daddy. I knew you would come to me.”
I thought that I could not be any prouder or any madder at the same time and I just told him, “I sure do love you, sweetheart.” He replied, “I love you too, Dad.”
There is no amount of money or cars or jobs or any material thing that could replace being loved and someone so much. I am lucky to have the ability to love on such a high level, and the ability to forgive on the same level.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible(負責任) for social progress. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth depended on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs(事件). The development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire(渴望)to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the common players, they are strongly against competition. Most of them are young people who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these youngsters, I often observe(觀察) in them a desire to fail. They seem to find 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 accepted 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(估量) of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-worth depends on how well one performs in the competition. Both are afraid of not being valued. We can discover a new meaning in competition only as this kind of fear begins to disappear.
1.What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B. Opinions about competition are different among people.
C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.
2.Why do some people favor(贊同) competition according to the passage?
A. It pushes society forward.
B. It builds up a sense of duty.
C. It improves personal abilities.
D. It encourages efforts.
3.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?
A. One's worth lies in his performance in the competition.
B. One's success in competition needs great efforts.
C. One's achievement is decided by his special skills.
D. One's success is based on how hard he has tried.
4.Which point of view may the author 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 removed in competition.
