20．Real Friend，Real Meaning
We can make mistakes at any age．Some mistakes we make are about money．But most mistakes are about people．"Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen？""When I got that great job，did Jim really feel good about it，as a friend？Or did he envy my luck？"When we look back，doubts like these can make us feel bad．But when we look back，it's too late．
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies？Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning．And if we don't really listen，we will miss the meaning behind the words．Suppose someone tells you，"You're a lucky dog．"and that's friendly．But a"lucky dog"？There's a bit of envy （嫉妒） in those words．Maybe he doesn't seeit himself．But bringing in the"dog"bit puts you down a little．What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you observe your luck．
Just think of all the things you have to be"thankful for"is another noise that says one thing and means another．It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole．But is he？Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important．It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night．
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words？One way is to take a good look at the person talking．Do his words fit the way he looks？Does what he says agree with the tone of voice？His posture （姿态）？The look in his eyes？Stop and think．The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake．

Have you ever heard of e-waste （electric waste），which can be produced every day？How do you deal with your computers，MP4players and mobile phones when they're broken or you want a new one？
Most people just throw them away．With the development of electric industry，e-waste pollution has become a serious problem．According to the United Nations，in 2014，people around the world produced 41.8million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5million tons．The US was the biggest waster，producing 7.1million tons．China came second，with 6million tons．
It's important to pay attention to e-waste．It can either be valuable or harmful，depending on how we deal with it．E-waste is a valuable urban mine（城市矿藏）．The value of the metals，like gold and silver in the waste around the world，is amazing．And the metals can be reused．But if people throw them away，the harmful chemicals can get into the earth or air，polluting the environment around us and affecting people's health．
Apple，for example，now recycle people's used products in China when they are buying new ones．The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices．To help reduce e-waste，we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs．
