On Competition and Cooperation
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.

论竞争与合作
竞争是我们社会生活中很普遍的一种现象。当我们玩游戏时我们会竞争，在学习上我们尽力比别人做得好，为了找工作，为了抢顾客，为了赚钱等等，无时无刻都存在着竞争。我们可以这样说，在某种程度上，竞争是社会的发展的推动力。
我们也经常发现竞争与合作并存，想象在一场篮球赛中，每一支球队在和另一支球队进行比赛，但是球队的每一个队员都要与本队成员合作，大多数情况下，没有合作就没有竞争。因此，竞争与合作是同等重要的。
当我们在提倡竞争时，不能忘了合作，走极端只会一事无成。为了竞争而竞争只会导致失败。竞争与合作有助于达到我们的目标，满足我们的需求，特别是对国现代化建设。
