What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.
Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(产品). Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.
In some countries, laws(法规)are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级).
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations(组织)are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.
The computers then go to schools, charities(慈善团体)and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things—and cut down on waste, too.
What do many people do with old computers?
A.They repair them. | B.They sell them. |
C.They send them to others. | D.They stop using them. |
How many computer companies are mentioned in the second paragraph?
A.One. | B.Two. | C.Three. | D.Four. |
According tothe laws in some countries, computer companies must .
A.collect and recycle most of their products | B.collect all their used products |
C.repair and upgrade old computers | D.make more cheaper computers |
What do the organizations do to solve the problem of old computers?
A.Help the computer companies to collect them. |
B.Repair and send them to those who need them. |
C.Help people to learn to use them. |
D.Turn rubbish into useful things. |
What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Repairing old computers. | B.Encouraging to make cheap computers |
C.Recycling old computers. | D.Helping those who need computers. |
Good morning, class!
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet is popular and it makes our lives colorful. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and get more information from the Internet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in playing computer games. We can send E-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat(聊天) freely online with our friends. It can help us get in touch with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer game and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Teenagers even get to have boyfriends or girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them to much time to chat online so they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. We should get online with adults(成人)--our teacher or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some out-of-class activities at school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We have different kinds of activities. If you are interested in sports, you can play basketball or football. We can go to the English Corner. We can practice talking in English there. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
Thank you for listening to me. That’s all.
The short passage is about __________.
A.going online | B.how to communicate with others |
C.how to spend our free time | D.different kinds of activities |
The Internet can make our lives _________.
A.helpful and important | B.enjoyable and interesting |
C.enjoyable but expensive | D.different kinds of activities |
________ is not good.
A.Sending E-mails | B.Reading newspapers and magazines online |
C.going on line with adults | D.Spending all day in the net bars |
Playing computer games________.
A.gives us lots of information | B.makes our studies worse |
C.makes us more clever | D.is harmful to our health |
Which of the following is NOT right?
A.There are too many net bars in the cities. |
B.We can learn English from the Internet. |
C.We mustn’t get online when we are studying at school. |
D.We cannot do out-of-class activities from 4:50 to 5:50 p.m. |
Hello Sandy,
We have just returned from our holiday. We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds.
Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as he used to. However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!
I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley(峡谷)below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains(蒸汽火车)are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train and from it.
Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early (we usually expect snow in January). It rained all day, and then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine!
Both Jenny and I are well. I don’t know if I told you, in the last E-mail, that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.
