46. "While some leaders in government, sports, industry, and other areas attribute their success to a well-developed sense of competition, a society can better prepare its young people for leadership by instilling in them a sense of cooperation."
政府、体育界、工业界和其他领域中的一些领导者将他们的成功归因于一种高度的竞争意识,然而一个社会还是应该更好的为那些即将成为领导者的年轻人灌输一种合作的意识。
Agree
1. The chief reason why we should stress cooperation in nurturing young people today is that, as tomorrow’s leaders, they will face pressing societal problems that simply cannot be solved apart from cooperative international efforts.
2. The second compelling reason for instilling in young people a sense of cooperation over competition is that effective leadership depends less on the latter than the former.
3. A third reason why instilling a sense of cooperation is to be preferred over instilling a sense of competition is that the latter serves to narrow a leader’s focus on thwarting the efforts of competitors.

47. "Society does not place enough emphasis on the intellect--that is, on reasoning and other cognitive skills."
社会对于理性还是重视不够,比如推理和认知的能力。
While the speaker might overlook the benefits of nurturing certain emotions and feelings, on balance I agree that it is by way of our heads rather than our hearts that we can best ensure the well-being of our society.
1. I concede that undue emphasis on cultivating the intellect at the expense of healthy emotions can harm and individual psychologically.
2. In many other respects, however, emphasizing emotions and de-emphasizing intellect can carry negative, even dangerous, consequences for any society.
3. The dangers of a de-emphasis on intellect are all too evident in contemporary America.
