"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. "That's an old saying in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays.

Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-Autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.

It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn from them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.

Have you ever heard of e?waste(電子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they're broken or you want a new one?

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electronic industry (電子產(chǎn)業(yè)), e?waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e?waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

It's important to pay attention to e?waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we deal with it. E?waste is a valuable urban mine(城市礦藏). The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is surprising. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals(有毒化學物質(zhì)) can get into the earth or air, affecting the environment and people's health.

Apple, for example, now recycles people's used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce e?waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programmes.

1.The following can become e?waste EXCEPT________．

A. computers B. mobile phones

C. plastic bags D. MP4 players

2.Which country produced most e?waste in 2014 according to the United Nations?

A. America. B. China.

C. Japan. D. France.

3.From Paragraph 4, we learn that________．

A. the recycled Apple products will be sold at higher prices

B. buying longer lasting electronic products is a good way to reduce e?waste

C. it's better to keep the unwanted electronics in your bedroom

D. some companies offer to recycle the used electronic products

4.The main purpose of this passage is to________．

A. prove that e?waste is useless

B. encourage people to buy more electronic products

C. advise people to deal with e?waste properly to reduce pollution

D. advise people to sell the unwanted electronics
