On very cold winter days, a group of Japanese children traveled a long way and arrived at a small island where nobody lived. After setting up a camp, they caught fish in the sea, and walked on the snow to find firewood, wild fruit and fresh water. Then they made a fire to do some cooking. They were not homeless children or modern Robinson (鲁滨孙). They were all pupils from a primary school and campers of special“hardship(苦难)camp”.

Every year primary and middle schools in Japan organize such camps to train the children’s spirit of bearing hardships. Such places like thick forests and far-off(遥远的)mountains are often chosen as camp places.

The Japanese education circles (教育界) usually think it necessary to give children chances of suffering(经历)hardships. Children in Japan now may hardly find times of hardships, because of the rapid growth of national economy(经济)and improvement in people’s living conditions. The experts(专家)think that such hardship camps can help children learn to live and develop in the struggle against nature.

It’s said that such hardship camps are warmly accepted by both Japanese school children and their parents.

What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know how to deal with them. Many old computers are put away. Many more are simply thrown away as 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 of their own brands.

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 which are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级).

Yet many people are throwing away good computers, while others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working on this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. These repaired computers then go to schools, charities(慈善团体) or people who need them.
