This report will examine this problem and provide some p 81 ways to solve it.We live in a society that is producing and using electronics(电子产品) all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies always e 82 people to change their old TVs, mobile phones and computers for the latest models. E-waste is created when we throw away old ones. In Europe a 83 , about 8,700,000 tons of e-waste is produced each year. Sadly, just over 1,000,000 tons is recycled.Burying e-waste or burning it cause serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the g 84 or pollute the air when they are burnt.In recent years, however, their plans are not always deal with properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. Here they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people’s health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-cycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the r 85 properly.Another way is to make producers responsible for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer w 86 . They should then make sure they are recycled or reused in a right way.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 m 87 world. Both producers and users must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.D Answer the question.During our first summer in the Arizona desert, I got badly burned by the sun. It was too hot there. By the next April I was already worrying about those three months coming up. I told Mr. Simpson about that at his gas station while he filled my car’s tank.‘You don’t need to worry in that way,’ he said. ‘Worrying about the heat just makes the summer start soon er and last longer.’I realized, as I paid the bill, that he was right. ‘Treat the heat like a welcome surprise,’ he said.‘Take advantage of the best that our summer offers and ignore the rest.’To my surprise, Mr.Simpson’s advice worked. When the hot sum mer did arrive, I watered the flowers in my garden in the morning. In the afternoon I slept with my kids, and in the evening we played games and made ice cream together. I learned the beauty of the summer in the desert. Years later, when we moved to Cleveland, our neighbors there were already worrying about winter in September. When the snows of December did arrive, our children were excited because they had never seen snow before. They made snowballs and went skating together.One afternoon, a middle-aged neighbor told me, ‘For years the snow had just been something to shovel. I’d forgotten what real fun it can be!’A few years later, we moved back to the desert. When I drove to the gas station, I learned from the new owner that age had forced Mr.Simpson to sell. He had bought a small station nearby.I drove there and talked with Mr. Simpson. He was thinner and older now, but his pleasant smile was still the same. I asked him how he was.‘I’m not worrying about growing old,’ he said, ‘Too busy enjoying life out there in the country.’88. How did the writer feel when he thought about the coming summer?89.
