Competition and Cooperation
Competition is common in every field of life. For example, the Olympic Games is the most famous competition in the world. In the four hundred meter swimming race, the swimmers plunge into the water at the signal. Each swings his or her arms and legs and tries his or her best to be the first. Also there is the competition for jobs, for promotion, for customers, and so on. We can say, in a certain sense, competition stimulates people's interest in work and helps society to go forword.
We often find that competition goes hand in trend with cooperation. Take, for example, a volley ball match. The members of the team cooperate with each other. One serves the ball, Then another passes the ball to a certain height for a still other to hit it over the net while the other members try to block it on its return. It requires good tearn work to win the game.
While we advocate competition, we cannot forget cooperation. Human beings are social beings. No one can exist alone in the society. If you want to play the game well, you have to play with others. You cannot play single-handed and win. You have to cooperate with your playmates, who may make the social ladder for you to climb to the top. From cooperation we get mutual help and understanding. With cooperation the world is progressing at peace and in harmony.
竞争与合作
竞争在各行各业都是常见的，比如奥林匹克运动会是世界最有名的竞争。在400米游泳赛中，一声信号，游泳运动员就扎进水中，个个挥动臂膀奋力击水，争夺第一。人们也为工作竞争，争提升，争顾客等，从某种意义来说，竞争激励人们工作兴趣，有助于社会前进。
我们往往发现竞争与合作并行。比如，在一场排球赛中，队员互相合作，一个发球，另一个人把球传到一定的高度，另外的一个人扣击过网，而另一队的队员试图拦网，要赢球需要很好配合。
在提倡竞争的同时，不能忘记了合作。人类是有社会属性的，没有人能在社会上独立存在。要想赢球，必须同别人合作，不可能靠单枪匹马取胜。必须和同伴合作，是同伴筑成了你爬到顶峰的社会阶梯。在合作中相互帮助和理解。而有了合作，世界才能和平、安宁、进步。
