Most people just throw them away. In 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of electronic waste(e-waste) and only recycled 6.5 million tons, the United Nations said. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons of waste. China ranked second, with 6 million tons.

It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we treat it.

“E-waste is a valuable ‘urban mine (城市矿藏)’,” said David Malone, the UN under-secretary-general (副秘书长). The gold, silver, iron (铁) and copper (铜) in e-waste around the world are worth some $52 billion (322.1 billion yuan). These materials can be reused and help us save resources.

But if people throw their electronics away, toxic (有毒的) chemicals can get into the soil or air, affecting the environment and people’s health. Malone said.

To help reduce e-waste, the first thing we can do is to buy longer-lasting electronic devices. If you have unwanted electronics, such as aging toys or cellphones, find a new home for them by giving them to charities. You can also see if there are any companies that offer recycling programs for their products. Apple, for instance, now offers people a discount (折扣) in China if they hand in their used devices when buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used devices and sell them at lower prices.

Hey! The people of the earth. Can you hear this radio message? Do not be afraid! We come in peace from another planet— and why not? We are your cousins. We are men, as you are. We have been here before.

You will see a huge spaceship, a few hours from now. We are flying towards the solar system (太阳系) almost as fast as this radio message. Your sun is already in sight. Our ancestors (祖先) and yours shared the sun ten million years ago. I’m sure you have forgotten your history while we have remembered ours.

Our ancestors lived on the Earth when dinosaurs were dying. Sadly, they could hardly save the beasts. Your planet was very warm then. Our ancestors believed it would make a nice home for them.

They were wrong. Though we were masters of space, we knew so little about the Earth.

For millions of summers — there were no winters in those ancient days — the Earth had rapid (飞速的) development. It took about thirty years to fly from one planet to another, so our ancestors seldom travelled in space. But they never felt lonely. They kept in touch with their relatives and friends on other planets. Three or four times every century, starships would call and bring them space news.

But two million years ago, the Earth began to change. The temperatures fell quickly. The ground was covered with snow and ice. At that time, however, our ancestors knew little about that. Those who had called the Earth their home believed there was just a strange disease spreading on the earth. The disease wouldn’t cause death to them, but it would bring much pain and do harm to men’s health.

【1】The message was from the people of the earth, wasn’t it?

【2】How soon will the people on the earth see a huge spaceship?

【3】Why did the speaker’s ancestors seldom travel in space?

【4】How did the speaker’s ancestors keep in touch with their relatives and friends?

【5】What happened to the earth two million years ago?

【6】How will you feel after you hear the radio message? Why?

Recently, a foreign student in China has given a very touching answer to the questions: What should China be proud of? Lots of people have d【1】 it with great enthusiasm (热情) on the Internet.

Emma is from Canada, and she came to China four years ago. Now she is a university student in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. The following w【2】 are about what China is like in the foreign girl’s eyes.

“Finding a job in China can be very s【3】. China offers more job chances than any other country in the world.”

“Its public security is also great. I’ve travelled to many countries, and I dare not (不敢) go out alone at night, but it’s different in China. I needn’t worry about my s【4】 at all, even at midnight.”

“Now about 400 million Chinese people are studying English. China has the largest number of English speakers in non-English speaking countries. It is quite an a【5】 number, isn’t it?

“The speed of Chinese trains is high. During my third visit to my friend in Beijing, I chose to take a train to go there. It took seven hours to get to Beijing from Ningbo by train. From Ningbo to Beijing, the train runs 1,365 kilometers for only seven hours, which makes it more c【6】 for people to ply (定时往来) between the two cities.”

“I think there’ll be many more things China will be proud of. I strongly believe the big oriental country must be much better than other countries.”
