| A．Means of ewaste recycling B．How ewaste comes into being C．The benefit of ewaste recycling D．The technologies of ewaste recycling E．The importance of the electronic waste recycle F．Modern technology brings convenience and ewaste |
Modern technology does bring us many conveniences（便利），from WiFi（无线网络）enabled cell phones and ever smaller laptop computers that make entire lives easy to energy efficient washers that use half the power and time to complete their tasks. However，these new toys and equipment finally become electronic waste （ 电子垃圾）（e waste）once they are out of use.
E waste includes everything from empty printer ink containers to broken refrigerators. As people buy new items to replace aging electronics or make upgrades（升级），more electronic waste comes into being. In some cases，such as 2009's switch from analog（模拟）to digital television broadcasting in the United States，changes in technology are so great that old equipment may not even work at all with new systems.
There are many reasons why it is important to recycle electronic waste. Much of the material used to construct electronics，including metal and plastic parts，can be recycled into new items at a discount of the cost and energy use needed to create things from new raw materials（原材料）. Additionally，many electronics contain poisonous substances （有毒物质）that are harmful to the environment and could be deadly if they go into an area's groundwater. When properly recycled，they can be reused and will not do harm to the environment. Because of these environmental concerns，many areas require by law that electronic waste be properly recycled.
The availability（可用性）of ewaste recycling programs varies from place to place. In some areas，annual collections are held once or twice a year as a means of dealing with ewaste as well as used engine oil or other waste that is harmful to the environment. There are also some good alternatives （替代品） to recycling your ewaste. Any items that are in working condition can be given to friends or donated to charities（慈善机构）like Goodwill or the Salvation Army，who rely heavily on donations （ 捐赠） . Freecycling ，or passing on your unwanted items to those in need of them，is also a means of finding new homes for used items.
Ewaste recycling helps protect the environment by reducing the amount of poisonous materials placed in landfills（垃圾场）and saving recyclable parts to save energy and other resources. Recycling is a way of life. Stick to that choice every single day and recycling will become second nature to us.

Everyone hopes to live a long life. But how can you make your long life happy and meaningful? You can read on to find answers.Go traveling wherever you want and go to see one part of the world you’ve never seen before. You will not regret it. Traveling has less to do with seeing things, as it does with experiencing them. It has less to do with discovering something, as it does with discovering yourself. You run into all the good things and bad things about yourself on a daily basis if you travel to new places, and you are provided with the opportunity to grow far beyond your years.
You can go through life and make new friends anytime, but no one can take the place of those persons who truly improve you. They are the most important people you will ever meet because they tear down the invisible walls you have built in your mind. In other words, they come into your life and help you develop your potential that you would never have been aware of without them.
The road to greatness is far from easy. You can be absolutely certain that when you feel you are getting weaker from struggle, you are in fact growing stronger than you ever have been before. The more difficulties you meet and solve on your lifelong journey, the more meaningful your life story will be.
One of the great secrets of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom is doing the best you can with what it done to you. It’s all about how you choose to respond to different situations. This simple choice makes a world of difference. If you find your situations tolerable, by all means tolerate them; if you find them intolerable, break through them. Eventually you are free because you alone are responsible for your thoughts and how you use them to improve your growth.
The best way to get ahead in this world is not to complete with others, but to serve them. If you want to get a promotion at work, be good to your boss. If you want to build a successful business, be of service to your potential customers. Provide unmistakable value. Value is what makes relationships, businesses, and personal efforts grow. At any age, in any situation, for every possible life path, there is value you can provide. Success and happiness will come when you choose to work for the world.
