三、阅读理解
专题训练〔九〕议论文的阅读
In America,seldom do you go anywhere without hearing a principle called WIN WIN．It sounds strange to me at first because throughout my childhood,I have always been taught to try everything possible to win an upper hand,rather than to help other people win．However,as time goes by,I have gradually comprehended the essence〔真谛〕of WIN WIN principle:it is the attitude of seeking mutual benefit．
When I was little,I used to play Chinese checkers〔跳棋〕which include two basic tactics〔战术〕:One is to create paths for yourself;the other is to block the passages of your rival．Players may apply these two totally different approaches in the game,but the key for the player to win is to continuously create paths for him even if his opponent may take advantage of it．Finally he can always reach the destination〔目的地〕a few steps ahead of the other player．Meanwhile,some player may take another approach to prevent his opponent from moving forward at all
costs．By this he may get a short term benefit,but couldn t fix attention on the final goal,thus he would never truly develop further．In the 1990s,a strategy called WIN WIN became widespread in the western world．Its core is to achieve yourobjectivewhile giving other people some benefits,so there is no real loser．One example of applying the WIN WIN principle is the voluntary system in US．Most Americans advocate〔提倡〕〖JP3〗the spirit of social service and voluntary contribution．In US,schools and children organizations usuallyencourage and support kids to be engaged in community service so that the voluntary spirit can be enrooted in their minds from childhood．Moreover,a crucial〔决定性的〕standard for universities to judge new students is whether they have worked for the community or not．
In China,it is quite usual that some people are too selfish and never take other people,s interests into consideration,while someone who really has courage to do something for the public is often called “foolish〞or “stupid〞．Actually helping other people can be of great delights for the helper,for he can also learn something crucial for his life such as sympathy,care,devotion,etc．So only if you take other people s interests into earnest consideration can you assure your own gain．
