问题      Personality is to a large extent inherent — A type parents usually bring about A type【B1】______ But the environment must also have a【B2】______ effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their, children.
     One place where children【B3】______ up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools【B4】______ the ’win at all costs’ moral standard and【B5】______ their success by sporting achievements. The current【B6】______ for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive 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,【B7】______ dead seconds after saying: ’Rejoice, we conquer! ’
    By far the worst form of competition in schools is the【B8】______ emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well【B9】______ .
     Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into B’s.【B10】______ It is top management.
     If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer values.【B11】______ It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A type stock. B’s are important and should be encouraged.
【B7】
选项
答案dropped
解析 the first marathon runner是主语Pheidippides的同位语；所填词应在句中作谓语，drop在这里指“倒下”，drop dead意为“倒地而死”。此处引用的是过去的事情，所以应用一般过去时。
