The boy thought for a moment and said, “Please keep the shirt and I will come back with more money. “‎ It was clear that he had already used all the money he had and he was $ 8.00 short. ‎ 11‎ The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that. “I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills(纸币) and we needed the cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching(令人感动的) as all these strangers seemed to react(反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to offer help, said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!”‎ I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this. “ The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the best and he left. I was left with a good feeling. I had seen the love and goodness of others all around me.

It was one of the greatest achievements in Agassi’s long and successful career.‎ Andre Agassi turned professional in 1986 at the age of sixteen. His career soon took off, and in 1990, Agassi was famous around the world, though never having won an important tennis championship. Many people thought he was famous more for his long blond hair and colorful tennis shirts than for his tennis skills. They wondered if he could really win an important tournament.‎ In 1992, Agassi proved these people wrong by winning one of the greatest prizes in world tennis—the Wimbledon singles final. His first attempt to win this tournament had been in 1987, but he lost his opening game. He then refused to take part in Wimbledon for the next three years. He said his reason for not playing was that the officials refused to allow him to wear his colorful shirts, but some people said it was because he was afraid to lose.‎ After several more championship victories, Agassi’s luck began to run out. By 1997, the year of his marriage to a movie actress--- Brooke Shields, Agassi’s ranking had dropped to 141st in the world. Many people thought his career was over.‎ Agassi and Shields divorced two years later, and Agassi made a comeback with a new trainer, a new hairstyle, and new determination. In 1999, he won both the French ‎ 11‎ Open and the U.S. Open and ended the year back as the world’s number one. By 2003, he had earned more than $27 million in prize money, making him one of the most successful tennis players of all times.‎ ‎( ) 31. What is the best title of this passage?‎ A.

This report will examine this problem and provide some possible ways to solve it.‎ We live in a society that is producing and using electronics(电子产品) all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies always encourage people to change their old TVs, mobile ‎ 11‎ phones and computers for the latest models. E-waste is created when we throw away old ones. In the EU alone, about 8,700,000 tons of e-waste is produced each year. Sadly, just over 1,000,000 tons is recycled.‎ Burying(填埋) e-waste or burning it cause serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.‎ In recent years, ____. However, their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. Here they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people’s health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-cycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.‎ Another way is to make producers responsible(负责任) for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.‎ As for us, we should try to cut down on e-waste. Change electronics only when we have to. And don’t buy a product just to have the latest model.‎ E-waste is a serious problem in the modern world. Both producers and users must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.‎ ‎( ) 36.
