Three Feet from Gold

Darby’s uncle was caught by the “gold fever” in the 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 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! 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

engineer’s

calculations

showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! The junk

man took millions of dollars in the vein, because he knew enough to seek expert’s 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 his 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 lost 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.

He

owes

his

“stickability”

to

the

lesson he learned from his “quitability” in the gold mining business.

4. Darby’s uncle went back home to ______.

A. receive his reward

B. seek financial support

C. look for more helpers

D. consult an engineer

5. The Darbys failed in mining business because of ______.

A. quitting drilling on

B. the disappearance of the vein

C. the shortage of the machinery

D. competing against the junk man

6. From the passage, we can know Darby ______.

A. was unable to pay off the debts

B. mined his gold from the failure

C. learned a lesson from selling insurance

D. devoted himself to making new discoveries

7. The author intends to tell us that ______.

A. hopes and difficulties exist side by side

B. correct decisions stems from correct judgment

C. we should catch it when an opportunity comes

D. we won’t reach our goal unless we insist

C

Hardware

in

general,

and

smartphones

in

particular,

have

become

a

huge

environmental

and

health

problem in the Global South's 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 Ghana's 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

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

goods

to

poor

countries

like

Ghana, knowing full 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 certain chemical which can cause cancer

and damage the immune system at a level that's 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 Ghana's 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

cannot

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

encouraging

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 landfill sites across Ghana.

D. Electronic pollution is a burning question in Agbogbloshie.

9. What does the underlined word

A. Tightens.

B. Abolishes.

C. Gets around.

D. Brings in.

10. What should be the biggest concern according to the text?

A. The violation of EFSA's standards.

B. The lack of diversity in Ghana's exports.

C. The damage to chicken's 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 green policies about e

-

waste.

C. Reducing customers 'demands for electronic products.

D. Letting governments take on the main responsibility.

Cycling or Running?

Aerobic (

body. Running and cycling, for example, are both good for you. _____16____. Read on and make an

informed decision.

Metabolic (

代谢

) Level

At the metabolic level, fast running beats fast cycling. There is also the fact that when you’re riding

downhill, you’re essentially at rest because you’re coasting. Not so with running. ____17____. You’re also

getting more of a total body workout with running than you get with cycling.

Difficulty Of Adoption

You could ride a bike for hours. With no pounding on your joints, you can go far and fast. Now

why on earth you’re putting yourself through such suffering. It takes enormous determination for most

people to become runners. ____18_____

Racing

Foot races are popular the world over. There are 5Ks, 10Ks, half and full and ultra-marathons. Any

decent-sized city will have your choice of races. _____19____It forces you to train and pushes you to get
