Just as any barber would cut hair using scissors, Dasharath combs the hair and carefully runs the flame of the candle on the ends, giving it a unique finish. Once done, he washes the hair and deep conditions it to let the sharp smell go off. The “cutting-edge” technique has become so popular among men in his village and nearby towns that his salon is always full of customers ---- both young and old alike. Started with only 20 pence, customers now happily pay him $1 for his way of haircut.
While Dasharath had joined his family business when he was 15, the unique idea only clicked him five years ago after power went off at work one day. He says: “Electricity cut was common in our village and we were used to working in dark. But one evening while I was cutting the hair of a customer, power went off and I had to use the light from a candle to finish the haircut. But the flames of the candle that night inspired me to think of using a new technique for cutting hair.”
“I had a bunch of regular customers so when I told them about the experiment, they readily agreed. They happily said they trusted me and my skills and gave a nod for the new technique. Surprisingly, it came out very well. Since then there is no looking back.”
21. Dasharath Kumar has created a new way of cutting hair with _______. A. a small comb C. candle flames
B. an electric tool D. a pair of scissors
22. Dasharath Kumar may owe his success mostly to _____. A. his own talent C. his family’s support
B. his customers’ trust D. his working conditions
23. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Dasharath thought of the new haircutting technique at about 23. B. Dasharath charged $ 1 at first for his unique way of cutting hair. C. Dasharath does not look back while he is styling a customer’s hair. D. Dasharath was inspired by the electricity cut to improve his service. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A 【解析】

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity; 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 relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-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 values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive 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 the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one
