| 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.

When I was a little girl, my mom would say, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.” 1Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our joys, comfort us in our hard moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I’ve always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “ 2”
To be a good friend or partner, it’s important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive.3When they hear their words repeated back to them, it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly what they meant to say.
4You know the old golden rule, “Care for others the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are the gifts that can help change a person’s life.
Take care, though, with whom you choose to have close relationship, for they can have a great effect on yourself – respect and life path. As someone once told me “ 5They will either take you up or down.”
| A．I am afraid so. |
| B．It is quite true |
| C．Friendship is the most important factor. |
| D．Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror. |
E．A friend is a present which you give yourself.
F．The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on a lift.
G．Patience, sympathy and understanding are also important qualities.

Money Matters
Parents should help children understand money. 1So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
1. The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It’s important to show your child how money is traded for the thing he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier (收银员). 2When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
2. Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 3If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
3. 4
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product — a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money, 5If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A. Wise decisions
B. The value of money
C. Permit the child to choose between them.
D. Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things.
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.
F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.
