2022年高考英语二轮复习专题三阅读理解第三节题组训练10说理议论+社会文化+应用广告+逸闻趣事(xx·红桥区二模)In modern society there is a great deal of argument about petition.Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity(繁荣)．Others say that petition is bad，that it sets one person against another，and that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them，playing well and winning are often live-and-death affairs.In their single-minded pursuit of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly criticize petition.Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under petitive 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 true petitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in parison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear can we discover a new meaning in petition.语篇解读　本文为议论文，题材为社会生活。
