When I was twelve, I went to a soccer field for the first time. I found hard to drag myself away from it. But all I could do were to make a paper one instead, so I didn’t have enough money to buy a football. Every day on my way home, I couldn’t help kick whatever on the road could be kicked.
Several weeks late， I felt I was on top of the world. While I got home，a real black and white ball was waiting for me on my desk, in which was my birthday present from my parents. I was very wild with joy that I didn’t know what to say. I simply rushed out with a ball and playing with other kids until I was completely tired out.

Wanting to be more responsible is admirable. Being responsible can seem hard at first, but if you keep at it, it will become second nature to you!
1. But to show that you can care for yourself and others, you need to do things before you’re asked. That shows you are responsible enough to see what needs to be done and take care of it. When you have a family, friends, or pets, being responsible may mean placing their needs above your own. 2. But it does mean you may need to take care of yourself later if someone you love has a need right now.
Being consistent is of great importance. 3. If you want to be responsible, then you have to find a routine that works for you and stick to it. For instance, don’t just study for ten hours in a row and then give up on studying for three weeks; instead, spend one hour every day looking over the course material.
In daily life, problems come up in any relationship. 4. A responsible person looks for solutions instead of trying to decide whose fault it is. Similarly, don’t attack someone instead of dealing with the issue and you should take time to think your words through. 5. If you find it difficult to control what you’re saying, try counting to ten in your head as you take deep breaths.
A.Don’t let your anger get the better of you.
B.That doesn’t mean you don’t take care of yourself.
C.Doing just the things you are asked to do is responsible.
D.Your responsibility won’t mean much if it is hit or miss.
E.Instead of blaming the other person, try to find a way to solve them.
F.Where you show you’re responsible is when you can say you made a mistake.
G.Staying consistent also means keeping your word you make to yourself and others.
There is good reason to believe that emerging digital technologies can improve the functioning of agriculture markets at a very low cost per farmer.
Mobile phones, particularly GPS-enabled smartphones, make the provision of tailored information much easier than before. Recommendations for agrochemical inputs that address specific soil conditions can improve yields while reducing environmentally harmful and wasteful use. Farmers can tailor their investment decisions to expected weather patterns and benefit from improvements in weather forecasting. As smartphone use continues to expand, farmers will increasingly have the means to watch videos demonstrating new agricultural techniques or take pictures of pests affecting their crops and either request automatic identification and recommendations or raise questions with agronomists. Finally, digital agricultural services can improve the functioning of agricultural supply chains. For example, these services could make it easier for farmers to check and compare input or output prices ; and facilitate coordination among farmers in an area and with traders.
However, despite the potential of digital agriculture, reasons for skepticism remain. Overcoming informational restrictions may not result in substantially increased agricultural productivity, given the existence of other barriers such as input shortages at local markets, and missing insurance markets. Informational barriers are also important, and mobile phone messages may not overcome them: some farmers ignore messages, especially from unknown sources. Some farmers are illiterate and have difficulty using voice menus. Senders may design obscure and confusing messages or may provide messages designed to target objectives at odds with farmer interests. Effective communication may require pictures or video. Smartphones are thus required to receive these messages, but few farmers currently have access to this technology in the poorest countries. Finally, farmers may begin to ignore reminders they are repeated too often, or they may be annoyed by unwanted messages, which could lead to reduced trust in the messaging system.

A.They can use agrochemical to handle environmental problems.

A.Shortages of input in local markets and lack of insurance markets.
B.No access to digital technology in poorest countries.
C.Failure to read or use the voice menu on mobile phones.
D.Loss of interest and ignorance of the intended messages.
4.What is the author’s attitude towards digital agriculture?
