问题     Personality is to a large extent inherent-- A-type parents usually bring
about A-type offspring. But the environment must have a profound effect,               【S1】______.
since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major
factor in the lives of their children.
    One place that children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by          【S2】______.
its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adapt the          【S3】______.
"win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting
achievement. The current passion for making children competed against their            【S4】______.
classmates or against the clock produce a two-layer system, in which competitive       【S5】______.
A-types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too
keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides,
the first marathon runner, drops dead seconds after saying: "Rejoice, we               【S6】______.
conquer !"
    By far the wrong form of competition in school is the balanced emphasis            【S7】______.
on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on things
they do well. Although the merits of competition by examination are
somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is          【S8】______.
positively harmful.
    If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more              【S9】______.
time would be spent teaching children surer values. Perhaps selection for the
caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades is
chemistry and more by such consideration like sensitivity and sympathy. It is          【S10】______.
surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A-types. B’s are
important and should be encouraged.
【S3】
选项
答案adapt→adopt
解析 从上下文看，本句的意思是：“很多学校采取‘不惜代价来获胜’的道德准则，用成绩来衡量学生成功与否”。“采取”一词应当使用adopt，而不是adapt (适应，改编)。
