School children are using mobile phone applications to do their homework, which seem to be increasing during summer vacations. But instead of blaming students for their behavior, we should say no to too much homework. This is important because by using mobile phone applications to do their homework, students don't add much to their knowledge, says an article in Guangzhou-based Yangcheng Evening News. Excerpts (摘录):

Using mobile phone applications to do homework is no different from copying from someone else's work. This is the opinion of a vast majority of teachers. Students who seek cell phone apps help to do their homework will pay dearly during major exams when they cannot seek the help of such applications, the teachers say.

The heavy load of homework Chinese students are burdened with, said to be the heaviest in the world,has led to the popularity of these applications.

Senior high school students in China rarely go to bed before 11 pm. A report in Shanghai published in2013 showed that students in the city on average spend 28.2 hours in class every week, the 9th highest among 65 countries and regions surveyed. Also, they spend an average of 13.8 hours a week doing homework, most in the world.

There is no association between the amount of homework one does and the amount of knowledge one gathers. In fact, a research by Australian experts shows that the result is exactly the opposite: the more hours students spend doing homework, the less effective they will be in gaining knowledge.

The United States is one of the countries where students do little homework, but that has not damaged the country's academic status in the world.

So, it's time Chinese schools understood this fact and freed students of the unnecessary burden of homework.

1.What’s the writer’s attitude toward the students’ using mobile phone applications to do their homework?

A. Supporting　　　 B. Understanding

C. Scolding　　　　　 D. Praising

2.The cause of the students’ using mobile phone applications to do their homework is______.

A. the heavy burden of homework

B. the advance of modern technology

C. the pressure of the students’ parents

D. the influence of other countries

3.What does the underlined phrase “pay dearly” mean?

A. be rewarded　　　　 　　　　 B. be dismissed

C.　 provide much money　　 D. suffer a lot

4.Which of the following is probably the best title?

A. Free kids of the burden of homework.

B. Stop using mobile phones to do homework.

C. Spend less time to gain much knowledge.

D. Improve China’s academic status in the world.

Did you know that almost 100% of the materials in your mobile phone can be recovered and recycled to generate energy or make new products, such as plastic products, electronics or even jewelry? Every mobile phone contains significant amounts of copper, aluminum, gold, plastic and other non-metals that can be recycled and reused.

The Singtel x SingPost E-waste Recycling Programme, launched on World Environment Day, 5 June 2017, is a cooperation between the two leading ICT and postal companies as part of their environmental sustainability efforts.

Called ReCYCLE, the programme provides the means for people to do their part for the environment by recycling their mobile and internet related electronic waste such as mobile phones and chargers, laptops and tablets, modems and routers, and other related accessories(配件).

These unwanted devices can be dropped off into the ReCYCLE bins at selected Singtel Shop and Singtel Exclusive Retailer outlets and Post Offices. You can also ask for a ReCYCLE envelope from any Singtel Shop and Singtel Exclusive Retailer outlets, and Post Offices, and mail your mobile device and accessories at no charge.

This programme reduces waste as it ensures that the valuable metals and components the devices contain get recovered. However, e-waste that is often thrown away, including all the precious metals that it contains, will be burnt and landfilled at Semakau Landfill.

Is the data in my e-waste safe when sent for recycling?

We assured that all storage media devices like SIM cards, memory cards, USB flash drives and hard drives are safe for recycling. Cimelia, our e-waste recycling partner is a reliable and NEA-licensed company, which are only interested in extracting(提取) the precious metals from the devices, NOT the data in them. The devices will go through a crushing process for secure destruction after the whole extraction process.

1.Why was the programme ReCYCLE established?
