When on the go or traveling， a Disposable（一次性） Toothbrush might be just the product for you． Typically， a Disposable Toothbrush is made out of a plastie material， with toothpaste already on the brush head． Just add water while you are using it． In some new Disposable Toothbrush models， the toothpaste comes automatically（自动地） as you squeese（挤） the handle of the toothbrush．
Colgate has upped the competition in the Disposable Toothbrush market by creating a Dispossble Toothbrush that you can use at your desk at work， in your car， or after eating at a restaurant． This toothbrush is called the Colgate Wisp， and is about the size of an index finger． The toothbrush can get to those hard to reach places just like a regular toothbrush． No water is necessary when using this toothbrush， making it very useful and convenient． A pack of four of the Colgate Wisp's run about ＄ 2．99． If you are one of those people that like to brush your teeth throughout the day but hate the hassleof carrying a toothbrush and toothpaste around， this is perfect!
Gadgets， boingboing， not is a website that allows different people to share their thoughts and experiences on a certain product． The website gives a general review on the Colgate Wisp， and following the review， people are able to share their first﹣hand feelings with readers． This is helpful if you are interested in purchasing the Wisp． Visit their website here： gadgets ， boingboing ， net．
However， people throw them away after using them only once． It is a kind of waste and is very bad for the environment． If you travel to Beijing， remember to bring your own things． Starting from June， some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables．

Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their daily life. For example, they can help people to save much time to do more work, and they can help people to work out many problems they can't do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers before the twenty-first century, except the old people.
Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school. However, many of their children use computers to play games, to watch videos or to sing. The teachers and parents complain that computers can not help children to study but make them fall behind.
