Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. We compete when we play games, we try to do better than others in our study, and there is constant competition for jobs, customers, money, and so forth. We can say, to some extent,competition is one of the motive forces of the development of society.

　　And we often find competition and cooperation at the same time. Think of a basketball game, each team is competing with the other team. But each member of the team is cooperating with his or her teammates. In most cases, we can't do competition without cooperation. Thus they are equally important.

　　While we are advocating competition, we can't forget cooperation. Nothing is to be carried to extremes. Pure and exclusive competition leads to failures. Competition together with cooperation help us a great deal in obtaining our goals and satisfying our needs, especially in modernizing our country.

　　競爭是我們社會生活中很普遍的一種現象。當我們玩游戲時我們會競爭，在學習上我們盡力比別人做得好，為了找工作，為了搶顧客，為了賺錢等等，無時無刻都存在著競爭。我們可以這樣說，在某種程度上，競爭是社會的發展的推動力。

　　我們也經常發現競爭與合作并存，想象在一場籃球賽中，每一支球隊在和另一支球隊進行比賽，但是球隊的每一個隊員都要與本隊成員合作，大多數情況下，沒有合作就沒有競爭。因此，競爭與合作是同等重要的。

　　當我們在提倡競爭時，不能忘了合作，走極端只會一事無成。為了競爭而競爭只會導致失敗。競爭與合作有助于達到我們的目標，滿足我們的需求，特別是對國現代化建設。
