Don’t throw away your old phones. In fact, you are throwing away real gold! Smart phones have many useful things such as gold, silver and copper (铜). People can use them to make new electronics (电子器件).

But many people may not know this. In Australia alone, there are more than 25 million unused mobile phones lying around, Sydney Morning Herald reported. The gold in these phones can add up to a value of more than $80 million (542 million yuan). There are about 2 billion smart phone users around the world, who change their phone once every 11 months. In China, people generate (产生) 80 million old phones every year, according to New Express Daily.

However, it’s not easy to get the useful things out of the phones. Smart phones have not only useful things, but also harmful materials(有害物质). Guiyu, a small town in Shantou, Guangdong, is one of the world’s biggest dumping grounds (垃圾倾倒场) for electronic waste(电子垃圾), Reuters reported. Many recycling(回收) centers in Guiyu simply break the old electronics by hand and don’t think about the pollution it causes. According to a local government report, 81 percent of children in Guiyu are harmed by lead (铅) poisoning(中毒).

Veena Sahajwalla, a professor at Australia’s University of New South Wales, has made a mini factory. It makes smart-phone recycling cleaner and easier. The mini factory is very small and easy to move around. It breaks the phones and automatically (自动地) removes the useful parts. That way, humans do not get poisoned.

31. What can people do with old phones?

 A. Put them away.   B. Make gold rings.   C. Make new electronics.

32. How many old phones do people generate in China every year?

 A. 25 million.           B. 80 million.     C. 2 billion.

33. How often do smart-phone users change their phones?

 A. Once a month. B. Once every 11 months. C. Twice every 18 months.

34. The kids in Guiyu get lead poisoning because _______.

 A. Guiyu is polluted by electronic waste

 B. Guiyu people like to throw away old phones

 C. Guiyu has the world’s biggest lead factory

35. What would be the best title for the article?

 A. Unused Mobile Phones around the World

 B. Find Useful Things in Your Old Phones

 C. Smart Phones in Different Countries

How do you let family and friends know you’re on holiday? Phone calls? 36. __________________

Postcards (明信片) have a history of 170 years in the UK. By the 20th century, trains became a cheap and easy way to travel. More people went on holiday to the seaside. How could they let loved ones know they arrived safely? 37.__________________ So, they sent postcards. The front of these postcards usually was a photo of the beach, or of traditional foods like fish and chips.

Today, most postcards are local scenic (风景优美的) photos or drawings. Others may be funny, with jokes on the front.

38.__________________ Because you were away from home, it was common to end the message with “thinking of you” and the most famous postcard phrase is “wish you were here”.

39.__________________ They often make fun of the British weather, such as postcards showing the rain pouring (倾泻) down on a beach with nobody on it. The famous saying “wish you were here” has also been made fun of. A joke on one postcard reads: “Wish you were here – and I wasn’t!” It’s this humor (幽默) that makes postcards popular in Britain.

So, next time when you are on a holiday, you can try to send postcards to your parents or friends. 40.__________________

We all want to get good results, so we should spare no effort to prepare for it. Secondly, I expect to exercise more. I am a big fan of basketball, so I hope I can join the school team and take part in more basketball games. Moreover, I am going to develop good living habits and learning habits. For example, I will keep my room clean and tidy this year and read English newspapers every day. Last but not least, I plan to spend more time with my family as they are the most important people in my life. I will visit my grandparents more often and help them with housework.

As the old saying goes, a year's plan starts with spring. I believe with strong will and hard work, I can keep my resolutions and make myself better.
