2017届高考英语二轮专题总复习阅读能力培养精品系列（二十九） 阅读理解 A Although people are born to win, they are also born hopeless and totally dependent on their environment. As we have noted, few people are total winners or losers. Most of them are winners in some areas of their lives and losers in others. Their winning or losing is influenced by what happens to them in childhood. Winners successfully make the transition from total helplessness to independence. Losers do not. A lack of response to dependency needs, poor nutrition, unhappy relationships, disease, continuing disappointments, inadequate physical care, and terrible events are among the many experiences that contributing to making people losers. Such experiences interrupt, or prevent the normal progress towards independence. A winner is not afraid to do his own thinking and to use his own knowledge. He can separate facts from opinion and doesn't pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluate what they say, but comes to his own conclusions. A loser repress his own capacity to express appropriately his full range of possible behaviour. He may be unaware of other choices for his life if the path he chooses goes nowhere. He is afraid to try new things. He maintains his own status. He is a repeater. He repeats not only his own mistakes, but also repeats those of his family and culture. A loser has difficulty giving and receiving affection. He does not enter into close, honest, direct relationship with others. |
