If you are not happy with China’s high Internet fees (费用) and slow speed, you are not alone. So is Premier Li Keqiang. On April 14, he said in a meeting that the government should speed up the Internet and lower the fees.
“The first question people ask at a new place is ‘Is there WI-FI’ because Internet service fees are so high,” said Premier Li. According to a recent survey by CCTV, the average cost(平均费用) of 1GB mobile Internet data per month(每月) in China is 100 Yuan, while it is only 60 Yuan in the US and 40 in Japan.
However, high prices don’t necessarily mean good service. The average Internet speed in China was 4.25Mbps(兆比特每秒)in 2014. South Korea had the fastest average Internet speed-25.3 Mbps. People can download a 1 GB movie within 6 minutes in South Koreas, but in China it would take half an hour.
To improve Internet services, the key is to build more fiber(光纤) networks. Through them we can send text, pictures and videos globally(全球地) in less than a second(秒), which offer high speed Internet. Besides, the lack of (缺少)market competition is another problem. Having more operators(运营商)besides China Unicom and China Telecom may lower the prices.Why do people always ask for WI-FI at a new place in China?
A.Because they can’t use Internet without WI-FI. |
B.Because they can communicate with their families. |
C.Because they want to download movies. |
D.Because Internet service fees are too high. |
In 2014, ____ had the fastest average Internet speed.
A.China | B.USA | C.Japan | D.South Korea |
What is the key to improve Internet services?
A.To increase Internet service fees. |
B.To build more fiber networks. |
C.To learn from South Korea. |
D.To make the government know the situation. |

E-waste is fast becoming a serious problem around the world. This report will examine this problem and provide some possible ways to solve it.
We live in a society that is producing and using electronics* all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies always encourage people to change their old TVs, mobile phones and computers for the latest. E-waste is created when we throw away old ones. In the EU alone, about 8,700,000 tons of e-waste is produced each year. Sadly, just over 1,000,000 tons is recycled*.
Burying* e-waste or burning it causes serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.
In recent years, . However, their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. Here they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people’s health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-cycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.
Another way is to make producers responsible* for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.
As for us, we should try to cut down on e-waste. Change electronics only when we have to. And don’t buy a product just to have the latest model.
E-waste is a serious problem in the modern world. Both producers and users must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount. According to the passage, it is often to buy new electronics than to repair old ones.
