What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown away as the rubbish.

Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(产品). Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.

In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级).

Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. The computers then go to schools, charities(慈善团体) and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things and cut down waste, too.

At the start of his new term, Zhou Ziyu, a student from Heilongjiang, got some big news. Her school plans to delay (延迟) its start time to 8 a.m. She was quite happy.

Zhou used to get up at 6 a.m., but would study until 10 or 11 p.m. the night before. She worked very hard. Her school asked students to arrive at 6:30 a.m. in summer and 7 a.m. in winter. She didn't get enough sleep. “ I often felt sleepy in class. But if my school plans to delay the start time, I'll be very glad.” Zhou said.

In fact, all of the schools in Heilongjiang plan to change their start time. Primary and middle schools will expect students to arrive at 8 a.m. or later. The change will help more students get enough sleep. In general, most Chinese middle school students have to arrive at school at around 7 a.m. Students have to get up at 6 a.m. or even earlier if they live far from school. While they often say up late in the evening, they can get the nine hours of sleep that they need to stay healthy.
