Different countries have different customs(习俗) in giving presents.

In China, you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word “clock” is similar to the sound of “death” in Chinese. Moreover, don’t wrap(包装) a present in white , black, or blue paper, because these are the colours for funerals(葬礼). Don’t give a knife, because something sharp can cut a friendship.

In Russia, if give flowers as a present, we have to give an odd number of them (one, three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers (two, four, six, etc.) are for funerals.

In Germany, flowers are good presents to take to your hostess, but don’t take her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don’t take thirteen of anything, either. Don’t wrap your present in white, brown or black paper.

What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers?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.
