30、 a violin contest. Ninety-two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley cane out first.The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes l and trying to impress the judges. But Hawley says he“ did pretty well at staying calm. I couldn t be thinking about how m
31、any mistakes Id make-it would distract me from playing,“ he says. “I don t even remember trying to impress people while I played. It s almost as if they weren t there. I just wanted to make music.“Hawley is a winner. But he didn t become a winner by concentrating on winning. He did it by concentrati
32、ng on playing well.“The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part,“ said the founder of the modem Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin. “The important thing in life is not the triumph but the straggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.“New resea
33、rch shows that Coubertin s philosophy is exactly the path achievers take to win at life s challenging games.A characteristic of high performers is their intense, pleasurable concentration on work, rather than on their competitors or future glory or money, says Dr. Charles Garfield, who has studied 1
34、,500 achievers in business, science, sports, the arts, and professions. “They are interested in winning, but theyre most interested in self-development, testing their limits.“One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they ve had-and how much they ve learned from each.
35、 “Not one of the 1,500 I studied defined losing as failing,“ Garfield says. “They kept calling their losses setbacks. “A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree.“The worst thing you can do if you ve had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression.
36、 You should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.“ Garfield believes that most people don t give themselves enough praise. He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things youve done on the way to a goal.（分数：6.00）(1).H

Any attempt to redistribute wealth and income in the United States will inevitab
41、ly be opposed by powerful middle and upper class interests. People can be relatively rich only if others are relatively poor, and since power is concentrated in the hands of the rich, public policies will continue to reflect their interests rather than those of the poor.As Herbert Gans (1973) has po
42、inted out, poverty is actually functional from the point of view of the non-poor. Poverty ensures that“ dirty“ work gets done. If there were, no poor people to scrub floors and empty waste, these jobs would have to be rewarded with high incomes before anyone would touch them. Poverty creates jobs fo
43、r many of the non-poor, such as police officers, welfare workers, pawnbrokers, and government bureaucrats. Poverty makes life easier for the rich by providing them with cooks, gardeners, and other workers to perform basic chores while their employers enjoy more, pleasurable activities. Poverty provi
44、des a market for inferior goods and services, such as day-old bread, run-down automobiles, or the advice of incompetent physicians and lawyers. Poverty makes middle-class values seem acceptable. To the middle class, the fate of the poor who are supposed to lack the virtues of thrift, honesty, and a
45、taste for hard work only confirms the desirability of qualities the poor are thought to lack. Poverty also provides a group that can be made to absorb the costs of change. For example, the poor suffer the main part or force of unemployment caused by automaton, and it is their homes, not those of the
46、 wealthy, that are demolished when a route has to be found for a new highway. There is no intentional, conscious “secret plan“ of the wealthy to keep the poor in poverty. It is just that poverty is an inevitable outcome of the American economic system; which the poor are politically powerless to inf
