teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. american parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they cant. as a result, millions of american boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. many of them even want to become president. american parents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. they believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children become mature young adults. as we all know, schoolwork is important. but parents should realize that the social skills their children learn form natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. whats more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.as a rule, chinese parents dont educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. they have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. it is a great waste of time to do so. now more and more chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. i hope that leaders in chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. i am very confident about it. 28. from the passage, we know the american parents pay much more attention to _.a. the social skills than chinese parentsb. their

equipment.electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in american homes and businesses. people do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.national solid waste management association (nswma) state programs director chaz miller says the large amount of electronic waste americans product is not unexpected.the us environmental protection agency (epa) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills (垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. they can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. mike fannon who runs the plant in baltimore says, “there are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill. ” fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e-waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.this year several states like vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. more than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills. chaz miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.“we can do much better,” noted miller. “i think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.” 32. which of the
