background theyre from，an equal start in life.the maternity(母性) packagea gift from the governmentis available to all expectant mothers.it contains bodysuits，a sleeping bag，outdoor gear，bathing products for the baby as well as nappies，bedding and a small mattress.with the mattress at the bottom，the box becomes a babys first bed.many children，from all social backgrounds，have their first naps within the safety of the boxs four cardboard walls.the tradition dates back to 1938.at first，the scheme was only available to families on low incomes，but that changed in 1949.in the 1930s finland was a poor country and the infant death rate was high65 out of 1,000 babies died.but the figure decreased rapidly in the decades that followed.over 75 years，the box has been an established part of the finnish rite(仪式) of a passage to motherhood，uniting generations of women.reija klemetti，a 49yearold woman from helsinki，remembers going to the post office to receive a box for one of her children.“my partner milla and i were living in london when we had our first child，jasper，so we werent eligible(有资格) for a free box.but millas parents didnt want us to miss out，so they bought one and put it in the post office.we couldnt wait to open the box.there were all the clothes i had expected，with the addition of a snowsuit for finlands cold winter.”“we now live in helsinki and have just had our second child，annika.she did get a free box，from the finnish government.this felt to me like evidence that someone caredsomeone wanted our baby to have a good start in life，” reija klemetti said.1in finland the maternity package is probably seen as a symbol of .awealth bequalitycpride dfame2the fourth paragraph implies that .athe rich refused to use the boxesbthere were not enough boxes at firstcthe boxes were given to poor families onlydthe boxes helped cut down the death rate of babies3why couldnt reija klemetti get a free box when her first child was born?athey were not citizens of finland.bthey lived outside finland.cthey didnt apply for the box.dthey had got one from their neighbors.4what did reija klemetti want to tell us in the last paragraph?aa free box came at last.bshe was longing for a free box for her child.cshe returned to finland to get a free box.dthe free box gave her a feeling of warmth.bin 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 selfworth relied(依赖) on how well they performed 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 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 doesnt matter because i really didnt 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 ones selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.both are afraid of not being valued.only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.5what does this passage mainly talk about?acompetition helps to set up selfrespect.bopinions about competition are different among people.ccompetition is harmful to personal quality development.dfailures are necessary experiences in competition.6why do some people favor competition according to the passage?ait pushes society forward.bit builds up a sense of duty.cit improves personal abilities.dit encourages individual efforts.7the underlined phrase “the most vocal” in paragraph 3 means “ ”athose who try their best to winbthose who value competition most highlycthose who are against competition most stronglydthose who rely on others most for success8what is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”？aones worth lies in his performance compared with others.bones success in competition needs great efforts.cones achievement is determined by his particular skills.dones success is based on how hard he has tried.cits hot out.the usual midday thunderstorm has just passed，and a few kids hanging out on benches around the pool at miamis ransom everglades school finally jump in and cool off.eightyearold gary kendrick and the others are all here for swim lessons.“they told us to hold on to the wall and kick our feet and，like，move our arms，”kendrick says.“when i had to swim to one of the counselors，i was really swimming.i do not even know i was moving.”kendrick doesnt have the technique of an olympic swimmer，but he can make it to the side of a pool if hes pushed，falls in，or just wants to cool off.kendrick is one of a handful of kids from south miami to get free swim lessons at ransom everglades.“you know，we have populations of people who lack basic swim skills，”says julie gilchrist.“in swimming pools.presumably，you know where the bottom is，you know where the sides are，” she says.“and so one would think that with basic swim skills it should be difficult for an older child or teen to drown in a swimming pool.and yet thats what we were seeing among africanamericans.”swimming pool drowning rates among schoolaged black children are more than five times higher than they are among white kids the same age.why？there are many reasons，but one big one.“kids who are living in public housing，growing up where finance is a real problem，singlemother households，opportunities for just having access to a pool are limited.”after four decades of work to get a pool built，codrington is finally getting one，in the heart of south miami.codrington calls it a “mixed bag”he wishes the new pool were biggerto accommodate things like swim meets and lifeguard lessons.but hes satisfied knowing that itll be a place where neighborhood kids can learn to swim.“this is going to save a lot of lives just as it is.its going to save a lot of children from drowning，” he says.9at ransom everglades，kendrick .awas being trained to swim for olympicsbwas
