19、l consultant, says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure.

20、. The children experiencing internal and sometimes external pressure think they shouldnt fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them.

D.C The first “mobile phone sidewalk in China” has appeared at a scenic spot in Chongqing. The sidewalk3 meters wide and 50 met

27、ers longwas built in the Yangrenjie Scenic Spot. It separates pedestrians along two pathways. One is for cell phone users to walk on; the other is for those without cell phones.A warning sign shows: Cell phones walk in this lane at your own risk. “In my mind, these sidewalks help a lot in minimizing

28、 security risks for mobile phone addicts,” said Wang Li, a local resident who doesnt use a mobile phone often. Cases of mobile phone users being injured while using their phones and ignoring their surroundings have been reported by the media. Tourists who were attracted to the sidewalk took photos o

29、f it. But many did not comply-with the regulation, and someone even parked a car on the sidewalk.Li Zhijiang, a 20-year-old college student from Guizhou, regarded the sidewalk as great progress. “I knew there were such sidewalks in Washingtons central business district, which are very necessary for

30、the addicts, especially in the busy streets,” Li said. Anthony Edwards, a 28-year-old actor from England, was enthusiastic, saying it was an improvement over his home country. However, his Chinese colleague, Xing Xing, thought the sidewalk was “pointless”, but added a grudging (勉强的) acknowledgement:

31、 “Setting up special sidewalks could be a solution to reducing security problems in particular situations. But this kind of sidewalk is not a fundamental solution and could be an indulgence (嗜好) for mobile phone addicts in the long run in my mind and this could even lead to more problems in the futu

32、re.”With the increasing popularity of smartphones, more young people in China are glued to them, a phenomenon that worries many experts. It is estimated that the number of smartphone users in China will be more than 500 million this year.28What is the initial purpose of the mobile phone sidewalk?ATo

36、ic waste（e-waste）currently takes up 5 percent of all global waste, and it is set to increase rapidly as more of us own more than one smartphone, laptop and power bank. They end up in places like Agbogbloshie on the outskirts of Ghanas capital, Accra. It is the biggest e-waste dump in the world, wher

37、e 10, 000 informal workers walk through tons of abandoned goods as part of an informal recycling process. They risk their health searching for the precious metals that are found in abandoned smartphones. But Agbogbloshie should not exist. The Basel Convention, a 1989 treaty, aims to prevent develope

38、d nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries. The e-waste industry, however, circumvents the regulations by exporting e-waste labelled assecondhand goodsto poor countries like Ghana, knowing full well that it is heading for a landfill site. A recent report found Agbogbl

39、oshie contained some of the most dangerous chemicals. This is not surprising: smartphones contain chemicals like mercury (水银), lead and even arsenic(砷). Reportedly, one egg from a free-range chicken in Agbogbloshie contained a certain chemical which can cause cancer and damage the immune system at a

40、 level thats about 220 times greater than a limit set by the European Food Safety Authority（EFSA）. Most worryingly, these poisonous chemicals are free to pollute the broader soil and water system. This should concern us all, since some of Ghanas top exports are cocoa and nuts. Some governments have

41、started to take responsibility for their consumers waste. For example, Germany has started a project that includes a sustainable（可持续的）recycling system at Agbogbloshie, along with a health clinic for workers. However, governments cannot solve the problem alone, as there is an almost limitless consume

42、r demand for hardware, especially when governments green policies are focused on issues like climate change. Only the manufacturers can fix this. A more economically sustainable and politically possible solution is through encouraging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuse and recycling of

43、 hardware profitable, or at least cost-neutral. 32.What can we infer from Paragraph 2？A. Electronic products need improving urgently.B. Electronic waste is too complex to get fully recycled.C.

If you dont believe that you can have the life you desire, it is going to be very difficult to create a successful life. When you believe in yourself, it fuels your creativity, your ambitions a

48、nd your motivation to do things.Another way is to know your intention. If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame, chances are that you are never going to truly feel successful. 38 And it is not enough to maintain a long-term feeling of fulfillment and happiness.
