But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower. A biodegradablemobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle. Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow. Engineers have designed a small transparentwindow to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time, said one scientist. As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relieffor nature , according to the scientists. “The seed comes out and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it, said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.

　　Let’s step back in time．As a child whose family lives along the Nile thousands of years ago, your name would be made up of several words．Each morning you would wake up to the sun-not an alarm clock-and start the day with prayer to the main god of your town．You would wear good luck charms to make things go well and make the gods happy．

　　After a big breakfast, which has to last you until the evening meal, you would go to work with your parents．Boys would go with their fathers and girls with their mothers, learning the jobs their parents did and helping them with their work．Only scribes and doctors went to school．When payday comes, your parents receive baskets full of food and clothing from the people they work for．Your family doesn’t miss having money, because there is no such thing．

　　Boys learn the songs the men sing to make their work enjoyable．Girls and women are often musicians and gymnasts, celebrating life through music and dance．

　　When harvest time comes, everyone helps in the field．Girls toss grain and corn high in to the wind to clean it．Boys bundle crops and put them inside baskets．There is lots of work to do in old Egypt, but also time for play．On the way back from the fields you might stop for a swim in the Nile River or one of the canals．

　　If you were sick you would be taken to a priest in the temple called The House of Life．The priest would feel your head and then his own, so he could compare the temperatures．If you were sick, he would stand over you and chant a magical spell, speaking directly to your illness．Then he might give you healing plants or potions to eat which often smelled or tasted very bad．Ancient Egyptian doctors figured that awful medicine might make the illness want to leave the child’s body．Some herbs and plants that these ancient doctors used are still used today－like drinking chamomile tea for an upset stomach．

　　Your family pet might be a little monkey that followed you around all day, a protective goose, a cat, or a dog．Pet owners would often have their pets mummified at death．

　　Common toys in ancient Egypt were：balls made of linen rags wrapped around each other, tied with string, and painted; games like checkers; dolls made of cloth and clay; and little animal pull toys made of wood．

People in Britain often talk about their homes: their mortgages (按揭), the interest rates, and rising prices. Here’s a guide to some of the words and phrases you might come across.
It’s a good idea in the UK to arrange a mortgage with a bank before you start looking. This is when the bank tells you how much money they will lend you so you have a good idea of how much you can afford.
The next step is to go to an estate agent and see what sort of properties they have available in your budget range and in your area. If you see something you like, the estate agent will arrange for you to view the property, so that you can see the house or flat for yourself.
If you see something that takes your eye, you put in an offer. The vendor (卖家) can accept or decline this offer, and if the vendor accepts it, you can move forward with the sale. However, as you don’t pay any money at this point, the offer isn’t legally binding (具有约束力), and in theory, you can pull out of the offer at any time that you like.
Your next step will probably be to get a structural survey done. A qualified surveyor will inspect the house and write a report that illustrates any structural problems, like damp or drainage problems.
If you still want to go ahead with the sale, you need to appoint a lawyer to do the legal paperwork, if you already own a house you might also be busy trying to sell it Many house owners prefer to sell to first-time buyers (those people who don’t already own a home), as they are not in a chain (waiting for other people to buyer house before they can buy their next house).
Finally, once the contracts are signed and exchanged, you complete on your house. You get the keys and you can move in whenever you want. Then you might want to throw a house-warming party. Congratulation!
