1 Although Kobe Bryant is no longer with us his strong will on and off the basketball court lives on It was announced that the lot superstar would be accepted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame
His competitiveness professional ethics and drive were unmatched Jeanie Buss the controlling owner of the Los Angeles Lakers told ESPN Those qualities helped Kobe lead us to five titles — and have now brought him to the Hall of Fame No one deserves it more
Indeed it was Kobe＇s unmatchable determination to be the best that distinguished him from his peers He named it mamba mentality after the black mamba one of the world＇s deadliest snakes and also after the top killer from the movie Kill Bill The mamba mentality became so popular that Kobe even detailed it in his book The Mamba Mentality How I Play In it he revealed his physical and mental preparations not just to succeed in the game but to excel himself
Mamba mentality is all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work he said during an interview It started when someone described me like that one day and it＇s grown into something athletes — and even nonathletes — embrace (欣然接受) as a mindset
Kobe was similar to one of the greatest basketball players Michael Jordan not only in playing style but in competitive nature I liked challenging people and making them uncomfortable Kobe wrote in his book That＇s what leads to introspection(反省) and that＇s what leads to improvement You could say I dared people to be their best selves
Though many were shocked and sad when Kobe died in a helicopter crash in January 2020 his legacy will live on Whether you＇re a basketball player or not you can＇t deny Kobe＇s power to inspire you to be your best self

2 In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition Some hold an optimistic attitude They value it highly believing that it is a natural result of social progress and prosperity(繁荣) and that anyone who wants to be outstanding has to keep up with the pace Others think otherwise They say that competition is bad that it sets one person against another and that it leads to the unfriendly relationship between people
I have taught many children who hold the belief that their selfworth depends on how well they perform at tennis and other skills For them playing well and winning are often lifeanddeath affairs In their singleminded pursuit (追求) 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 have an opposite opinion In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players they strongly blame competition Among the most voices are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society They have no choice 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 really try and lose that will 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 selfrespect relies on how well one performs compared with others Both are afraid of not being valued Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (消) can we discover a new meaning of competition
1What does this passage mainly talk about
A Competition helps to set up selfrespect
B Opinions about competition are different among people
C Competition is harmful to personal quality development
D Failure is a necessary experience in competition
2What does the underlined phrase the most voices in Paragraph 3 mean
A Those who try their best to win
B Those who value competition most highly
C Those who are against competition most strongly
D Those who rely on others most for success
3What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail
A One＇s worth lies in his performance compared with others
B One＇s success in competition needs great efforts
C One＇s achievement is determined by his particular skills
D One＇s success is based on how hard he has tried
4 Which point of view may the author agree with
A Every effort should be paid back
B Competition should be encouraged
C Winning should be a lifeanddeath matter
D Fear of failure should be removed in competition
