26、revent Cyber-bullyingCAlmost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a rig

And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products.The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in peoples lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot

Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.C. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about
33、 the range of choice.D. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.30.

40、 for everyone in the room. Now, everybody breathes sigh of relief. Learning poetry and reciting poetry forces us to think of it in this public way.
