21、read a book.Caroline Michel,chief executive of the literary agency PFD,said the new generation ofreaders was used to multiple sensory input.She said,“Concentration now is such that people havesplit computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the sametime.If tha

22、ts what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”Booktracks sound effects work by figuring out the users reading speed.Each time you“turn”a page,the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switchon accordingly.If the soundtrack is not in agreement

23、 with the words,a click on any word willre-set it.Some authors fear a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin thepleasure of reading.David Nicholls,author of One Day,said,“This sounds like the opposite ofreading.I have enough trouble reading an ebook because Im constantly

28、ould get it over and over and over again.Everyone,that is,except our teenagers,right?At least that is how parents,teachers,college admission officers,coaches,and others whospend time with adolescents have led all of us to believe.We have all bought the great lie thatthere is not only zero room for t

29、odays teenagers to fail academically,but any form of failure is agreat embarrassment to everyone involved.And I do mean everyone.Ever notice how quick parents are to share college acceptance letters,scholarships,SATscores,and pretty much all the perfect resumes(简历)of their high schoolers for everyon

32、ss knows this all too well,because there is no room for any form of failure.Butthis is wrong.Tell your kids that failure doesnt define them.Tell them its normal,natural,and expected.Tell them failure creates comeback stories,and the opportunity to rise even higher and better thanbefore.And finally,t

36、的)training sector.Then related businesses listed in domestic and overseasmarkets experienced sharp declines.These training agencies have experienced explosive growthsin recent years by cashing in on increasing anxiety among Chinese parents over the education oftheir children.For parents,the common m

37、eans of gaining competitive edge for their children is to get theminto better schools,by paying more for extracurricular training.It came as no surprise that whenIndian movie Hindi Medium was shown a few years ago,it became a huge box office success,likely because the parental anxiety described in t

38、he film resonates with many Chinese viewersstruggling with their childrens education.Like their Indian counterparts,parents here would doanything to get their children into the right school.While most children like me would undoubtedly welcome the government regulation of thetraining sector,parental

42、hewhole society.It would mean a change to the narrow-minded perception of education as a goodschool and a profitable job.Hopefully the current policies would go on to address growingsuperstition(迷信，迷信思想)in diplomas and“elite schools.Only when education goes beyond simple scores and standards and evo

43、lves into a lifelongpursuit of sweetness and light could it hope to be truly self-motivating and sustainable.Theguidelines might be effective in tackling(应对、处理)off-campus tutoring,but addressing thepervasive(弥漫的，充斥的)anxiety will involve coordinated,lasting effort.32.Which of the following statements
