24、   Don’t throw away your old phones.You are actually throwing away real gold! Smartphones have many kinds of useful metals. People can recycle them to make new electronics.

But many people may not know this. In Australia alone there are more than 25 million unused mobile phones lying around, The Sydney Morning Herald reported. The gold in these phones can add up to a value of more than $80 million. There are about 2 billion smartphone users around the world, who change their phone once every 11 months on average. So in China, eighty million old phones come along every year.

However, it’s not easy to get the useful things out of the phones. Smartphones have not only useful things but also harmful materials. Guiyu, a small town in Shantou, Guangdong, is one of the world’s biggest dumping grounds for electronic waste, Reuters reported. Many recycling centers in Guiyu simply break the old electronics by hand and don’t think about the pollution it causes. It’s reported that 81 percent of children in Guiyu are harmed by lead poisoning(铅中毒).

Veena Sahajwalla, a professor at Australia’s University of New South Wales, has made a mini factory. It makes smartphone 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 phone’s useful things. That way, humans do not get poisoned.

Well, have you ever wondered what happens to the old phone after it’s no longer yours? A part of your old smartphone could soon be proudly worn around the neck of one of the world’s top athletes. Organizers of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics say that medals for the event will be made from recycled phones. They will also be made out of people’s thoughts for avoiding waste. They think there is an important message in this for the future.

【1】The underlined word "this" refers to the fact that________.

A.old phones can be recycled B.people change phones often

C.few people can afford smartphones D.many old phones are thrown away every year.

【2】From Paragraph 3, we know a dumping ground is a place where people________.

A.care for children B.sell smartphones

C.keep the waste D.produce electronics

【3】Why do so many children in Guiyu get poisoned by lead?

A.There are a lot of smartphone users in Guiyu.

C.People in Guiyu use machines to recycle electronics.

D.Guiyu has the world’s biggest smartphone factory.

【4】Which is TRUE about Veena Sahajwalla’s factory?

B.It produces 80 million smartphones every year.

25、October 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It is used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger (饥饿).

Food shortage (匮乏) is a big problem around the world. Right now, there are more than 1 billion (10亿) hungry people in the world. Many children go to sleep with hunger, and 15 million of them die because of hunger each year.

There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First, there have been more droughts (干旱) and floods (洪涝) recently. This is bad for farmers and hurts their ability to grow food. Also, a growing population makes it more difficult to feed everyone. Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we don’t use it before it goes bad. The average (平均的) person throws away 50 kg of food every year, More than one third of all food produced goes to waste around the world each year according to the UN. That is1.3 billion tons of food being wasted.

If the wasted food was saved, it could feed lots of people. The amount of food wasted in Europe could feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America (拉丁美洲) could feed 300 million people.

As teenagers, we should think twice next time we want to throw away extra (额外的) food on our own plate. By cutting down on food waste, we could also help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children.

Once a king got two nice falcons（猎鹰）from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
