4．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，about 8，700，just over1，000

    Burying（填埋） e﹣waste or burning it cause 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，many countries have started recycling e﹣waste.However，their plans are not always managed properly.Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana.There they are often burnt in public areas

    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.

5．Denise Pope，a teacher at the Stanford Graduate School of Education，found that too much homework can have negative effects on kids，where family，friends and activities matter.

    "Our findings on the effects of homework challenge the traditional thought that homework is surely good，" wrote Pope.She and her colleagues used survey data to examine opinions about homework and student well﹣being in a s ample of 4，317 students from 10 high﹣performing high schools in California communities.Students in these schools average about 3.1 hours of homework each night.

    The study found that too much homework leads to some problems：

    ● Greater stress：56 percent of the students considered homework a main source of stress.Forty﹣three percent viewed tests as a primary stressor，while 33 percent put the pressure to get good grades.Less than 1 percent of the students said homework was not a stressor.

    ● Reductions in health：In their open﹣ended answers，many students said their homework made them lack sleep and have other health problems.

    ● Less time for friends，family and after﹣class activities：Students were more likely to drop activities，not see friends or familypursue hobbies they enjoy for spending too much time on homework.

    The results offer evidence that many students struggle to find balance between homework，after﹣class activities and social time.Many students felt forced to choose homework instead of developing other talents or skills.

    The study also found that 90 minutes to two hours is better for high school students.Plus，Pope suggested that any homework assigned should have a purpose and benefit，and it should be designed to improve learning and development.
