32、tics, in the courts, even on the ubiquitous TV talk show, it is good form to pick an intellectual fight. People attack each other hurl insults, even and it counts as logical argument. I cannot understand it. It seems that our society favors a kind of ritualized aggression. Everywhere you look, in ne

33、wspapers and on television, issues are presented using the terminology of war and conflict. We hear of battles, duels and disputes. We see things in terms of winners and losers, victors and victims. The problem is societys unquestioning belief in the advantages of the debate as a way of solving disa

34、greements, even proving right from wrong. Our brainwashing begins early at school, when the brightest pupils are co-opted onto the debating system. They get there because they can think up a good argument to support their case. Once on the debate team, they learn that they earn bonus points for the

35、skill with which they verbally attack, or insult, the opposing team. They win if they can successfully convince the audience that they are right, even if the case they are arguing is clearly consensual. They do this by proving themselves to be stronger, brighter, more outrageous, even. The training

36、in this adversarial approach continues at our tertiary institutions. The standard way to present an academic paper, for instance, is to take up an opposing argument to something expressed by another academic. The paper must set out to prove the other person wrong. This is not at all the same thing a

37、s reading the original paper with an open mind and discovering that you disagree with it. The reverence for the adversarial approach spills over into all areas of life. Instead of answering their critics, politicians learn to sidestep negative comments and turn the point around to an attack on accus

38、ers. Defense lawyers argue the case for their clients even when they suspect they may be guilty. And ordinary people use the same tactics just listen to your teenager next time you pull him up for coming home late. You can be sure a stream of abuse will flow about your own time keeping, your irritat

39、ing habits, your history of bad parenting. Unfortunately, the smarter your kid, the better his or her argument against you will be. Youll be upset, but youll comfort yourself that those teenage monsters of yours will one day turn into mature, though adults who can look after themselves by which you

40、mean, of course, they will be able to argue their way out of sticky situations. Its not that you should never use angry words, or take up a position in opposition to someone or something. There are certainly times when one should take a stand, and in such cases strong words are quite appropriate; if

41、 you witness injustice, for instance, or feel passionately about anothers folly. Mockery so cruel when practiced on the innocent can be very useful in such situations. There is no better way to bring down a tyrant than to mock him mercilessly. What I dislike is the automatic assumption most people h

42、ave when it comes to disagreements: they should attack, abuse, preferably overpower their opponent, at whatever the cost. The approach is to so ingrained that “compromise“ has become a dirty word. We feel quality if we are conciliatory rather than confrontational. We have trained ourselves, or been

43、brainwashed into believing, that to be pleasant is a sign of weakness. But just think how easy it can be to persuade a “difficult“ person to be considerate of you or your wished when you are pleasant to them, and unthreatening. Give them a way out of a potentially aggressive situation without losing

44、 face, and they will oblige you willingly. Discuss a subject without taking an adversarial position and you will find the other person happy to explore the possibilities with you. I m prepared to bet on it. Youll get closer to the truth of the matter than you would by going to each other hammer and

45、tongs. 51 People have been brainwashed since early at school to believe that_. （ A） only those who are able to debate are intellectual （ B） debating is the best solution to disagreements （ C） the world is filled with war and conflict （ D） the adversarial training is necessary for everyone 52 The com

48、nferred from the passage? （ A） Kids are out of control because of their aggressive nature. （ B） Kids may become disobedient when parents appear aggressive. （ C） The wiser the kid is, the more successful debater he would be. （ D） Parents are sometimes too rigid with the way of teaching their children. 55 Eastern medicines are becoming more popular in the west, but few people realize how long the two cultures have exchanged ideas.
