10、 gold-rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. After months of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore (矿石). He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So, with the “strike”, he returned home. And with the help of Darby, he borrowed a lot of money. After buying the

11、 machinery and having it shipped, Uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.The first car of ore was mined. And the returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Uncle and Darby!Then something happened! The vein (矿脉) of gold ore disappeared

12、! They drilled on, but all in vain. Finally, they decided to quit and sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineers calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet f

13、rom where the Darbys had stopped drilling! The junk man took millions of dollars in the vein, because he knew enough to seek experts advice before giving up.Most of the money which went into the machinery was borrowed through the efforts of Darby, who was then a very young man. The money came from h

14、is relatives because of their faith in him. He paid back every dollar of it, although he was years in doing so.Long afterward, Mr. Darby made another discovery that desire can be changed into gold. This discovery came after he went into the business of selling life insurance. Remembering that he los

15、t a huge fortune, for he stopped three feet from gold, Darby profited by the experience in his chosen work, saying to himself, “I stopped three feet from gold, but I will never stop because men say no when I ask them to buy insurance.”Darby sold more than a million dollars in life insurance annually

16、. He owes his “stickability” to the lesson he learned from his “quitability” in the gold mining business.4.

19、nmental and health problem in the Global Souths landfill sites.Electronic 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

20、 Ghanas capital, Accra. It is the biggest e-waste dump in the world, where 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

21、not exist. The Basel Convention, a 1989 treaty, aims to prevent developed nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries. The e-waste industry, however, circumvents the regulations by exporting e-waste labelled as secondhand goods to poor countries like Ghana, knowing full

22、well that it is heading for a landfill site.A recent report found Agbogbloshie 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

23、certain chemical which can cause cancer and damage the immune system at a 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, s

24、ince some of Ghanas top exports are cocoa and nuts.Some governments have started to take responsibility for their consumers waste. For example, Germany has started a project that includes a sustainable recycling system at Agbogbloshie, along with a health clinic for workers. However, governments can

25、not solve the problem alone, as there is an almost limitless consumer demand for hardware, especially when governments green policies are focused on issues like climate change.Only the manufacturers (生产商)can fix this. A more economically sustainable and politically possible solution is through encou

26、raging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuse and recycling of hardware profitable, or at least cost-neutral.8. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Electronic products need improving urgently.B. Electronic waste is too complex to get fully recycled.C. Electronic waste requires more landf

28、ds.B. The lack of diversity in Ghanas exports.C. The damage to chickens immune system.D. The threat of polluted food around the world.11. What does the author think is the best solution to the e-waste problem?A. Manufacturers developing a sustainable hardware economy.B. Governments adjusting their g

29、reen policies about e-waste.C. Reducing customers demands for electronic products.D. Letting governments take on the main responsibility.

30、itecture firms vision is realized. In April, French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced an international competition for architects to redesign the cathedrals 19th century spire(尖顶), which fell down after a fire destroyed the 850-year-old Gothic landmark. Paris firm Vincent Callebaut Architect

31、ures (VCA) responded to the call with an eco-friendly design that supports the local population and produces more energy than it uses.The Vincent Callebaut(VC) project is titled Palingenesis, a Greek concept of rebirth or recreation. The firm proposes a new roof made of glass, oak and carbon fiber,

32、which connects in one single curved stroke of pencil to the sloping spire. The rooster which topped the original spire, regained from the remains after the fire, will resume its watch from the new glass design, while the cathedrals choir will be bathed in natural light.Beneath the spire, the roof will host a fruit and vegetable farm run by charities and volunteers, in order to produce free food for vulnerable local people. Up to 21 tons of fruits and vegeta
