In the past, most people would just throw away their worn-out appliances (家用电器)，but due to the many environmental issues that this has caused over the years, it is highly suggested to consider recycling or other ways.

Donate Your Appliances to an Organization

The first thing that most people think about when they hear about donating is giving old things to a charity or an organization. However, you should ensure that your appliances still work. Not only do you put repair costs on the charity, but you are also using the organization as a way to get rid of your junk.

Find a New Owner

There are many people that could greatly benefit from y our used appliances, including new couples, students, poverty-stricken families, and many others. Similar to donating to a charity, it is important to ensure that your appliances are in good working order, and if they are not, you can put up an ad definitely stating that you are giving away the broken appliances for free.

Contact a Recycling Company

Before you do recycle your old items, there are several things that you should be aware of. First of all, you need to know about how refrigerator freezers, and air conditioners are recycled, as often these must be covered. According to your city, you may be required to take off the doors of your appliances to protect children or animals from getting trapped inside and getting hurt.

Donate Your Appliances as Scrap (废品) Metal

If your old appliances are completely broken, it might be best to just give them away as scrap metal. Fortunately, there are many different organizations and companies that need as much metal as they can get. Additionally, you won't have to do any of the scrapping or tearing apart by your-selves, as professionals take care and effort in removing harmful elements.

In the past most Americans spent time with people of generations. Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.

That’s because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes. Why?

We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it’s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most.

Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we havediscovered that they often save the young.

A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. “My children have never been less lonely,” the reporter said.

The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby. She was immediately surrounded. People who hadn’t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.

Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it, “my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.”

Grandchildren speak of attention they don’t get from worried parents. “My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down,” one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting.

1.Now in an American family, people can find that ____.

A. children never live with their parents

B. not all working people live with their parents

C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren

D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents

2.The reason why old people are left alone may be that ____.

A. the old don’t like to live in a big family

B. the young can’t get enough money to support the old

C. different generations have different lifestyles

D. the old are too weak to live with the young

3.The fact that the reporter told us shows that ___.

A. old people in America lead a hard life

B. old people in America enjoy banana bread

C. she had no time to take care of her children

D. old people are easy to get along with

4.Why do children not get attention from their parents?

A. Because they often make trouble and make their parents disappointed.

B. Because their parents are too busy to take care of them.

C. Because their parents have to take care of their grandparents.

D. Because their parents have been out of work for a long time.

I think the majority of people would agree that it’s unhealthy to live in the past. After all, we’re all familiar with the new age philosophy, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.1.. Living in the past holds us back from being able to enjoy the present moment. But are there any benefits of revisiting a previous time? Actually, yes. The past has several advantages:

Learning from our mistakes: We all know that poor choices can be some of life’s greatest teachers.2..

3.: By revisiting an unfavorable event from our past, we can often view it from a different perspective as time has passed. Being older and wiser, we are now able to reevaluate the experience and gain deeper insights and understandings of what happened and why, and how it has impacted us since. What once scarred us can now be healed through a newly-found awareness and no longer be a negative force in our lives.

Motivated by earlier successes:4.. Other times life has been difficult. Remembering the past when we were at our best can help motivate us out of our current slump(低谷) and put us back on track for success. Use your past successes to propel(推动) you on to newer and greater things.

While it’s evident that revisiting the past has several advantages, there is a warning. Just like an amusement park, it’s fine to visit but you cannot stay there forever. At some point, the park closes and all visitors are asked to leave. Enjoy the past when necessary but don’t always stay there. Use it for living in the present and planning for the future.5..

A. Moving beyond

B. That’s why it’s called the present

C. In that way, it will serve you well

D. See the mistakes as a step on the road to a solution

E. There are times when we have all enjoyed success on a variety of levels

F. Recalling times when we made mistakes can help us make better future decisions

G. So, failure is the mother of success

Anyone wanting to throw away their mobile phone can do it in style（时尚地）and may even win a medal－at the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship.

Originally a local event in a small town close to the Russian border，the fifteenth annual contest drew many throwers from as far as Canada，Russia and Belgium.

Founder Christine Lund describes the event as a good source of light exercise with an environmentally-friendly activity. “There are a lot of mobile phones on the second-hand market，and we are recycling them（before they become poisonous waste），”she said.

The inventive Finns had already given the world the Sauna World Championships and the Wife Carrying Competition before coming up with a new way to make mobile phones even more mobile.

This year’s gold medal went to Finland’s Lassi Etelatalo，who threw a waste Nokia unit a forceful 89.00 meters. “I prepared by javelin（标枪）throwing，I haven’t really practiced throwing mobile phones，”Etelatalo said.

Lund says competitors all have their favorite throwing brand. “People choose by size，by color or by how it fits in the hand……Some believe a heavy model will ensure a long throw，some want a light one.”

1.According to the passage，we can infer that _______.

A.the contest originated in Russia

B.the contest it held every four years

C.the contest started from the year 2000

D.this year’s gold medal was gotten by Finland’s Lassi Etelatalo
