What do people do with their old, useable but outdated(過時的) computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers end up gathering(聚集) dust in homes. Many more are thrown out with the trash.
Finally, some computers are thinking of ways to reduce(減少) the amount of computer junk. Sony has agreed to help recycle（回收）old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and others now also take back some equipment.
Laws（法律）are being passed, too. In Europe, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycle old Sony products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost.
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. These groups collect and repair old computers. Some also teach computer repair skills.
The computers then go to schools, charities(慈善機構(gòu)) and needy individuals. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s trash into someone else’s treasure(財富) and cut down on waste, too.
小題1:Nobody knows what to do with their old computer.
小題2:Many old computers are in homes, covered with dust.
小題3:Dell is one of the companies which are thinking of ways to reduce the amount of computer junk.
小題4:If computer companies want to collect and recycle their used products, they have to pay money.
小題5:Hundreds of organizations only collect and repair old computers
小題6:The story talks about ways to deal with used computers.

Tea bag drinking is most westerners’ favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?
The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄紗) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.

A recent report from Dazhou Daily says about 18% of Dazhou teenagers can have problems with their minds(內(nèi)心，精神). Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates.

It’s Tuesday afternoon, and I’m in Rheinburg, Germany, visiting the Extra Future Store. The “store of the future” is attracting a lot of attention these days– but not for it’s prices. Instead, people are coming from all over to experience a new way to shop.
The experience is less like shopping in a supermarket and more like playing some kind of high–tech game. It starts as I enter the store and choose a shopping cart(購物車). First, I swipe my store ID card through a computer on the cart. The computer’s screen comes on, a map of the store shows, and the journey begins.
As I shop, antennas(天線) around the store send information about different specials to the computer on my cart. Attracted by one of the ads, I choose a box of cheese. I hold up the box to the computer. It displays the price and also suggests that a certain type of bread would be good with it. The map on my chart shows me where to find the bread. It’s like the store is helping me to shop.
How does the store make this kind of shopping experience possible? The answer is radio frequency identification chip (or RFID射頻識別). Each chip has a special number. Using an RFID reader on the computer, we can get information from a chip about the product(產(chǎn)品). RFID will help shoppers find the things in a store more quickly– products that are just right for them. In addition, people won’t have to wait in long lines to pay. The things in your cart will be read by the computer and the money will be paid by your store ID card automatically(自動地). So you can simply walk out of the store with your shopping bags.
Sounds good, right? Maybe you will experience the new shopping soon in your city.
小題1:Why are so many people coming to the Extra Future Store?
A．They hope to buy a new kind of computers.
B．They want to play some new high– tech games.
C．They expect to experience a new way of shopping.
D．They plan to learn how to use the FRID readers.
小題2:What is the right order to shop in this store?
①Look for the things you want to buy and find them.
②Swipe your store ID card through the computer.
③Walk out of the store without waiting in lines.
④The computer shows you a map and some ads.
⑤Hold up the things to the computer to be charged.
A．②①④③⑤B．①②⑤③④C．②①⑤③④D．②④①⑤③
小題3:What are Not so necessary for this kind of new stores?
A．Carts with computers.B．RFID readers.
C．Many shop assistants.D．Good products.
小題4: Which of the following is the advantage of this new store?
A．The things in the shop are much cheaper.
B．It costs more time to find the things you need.
C．You will buy more things than you really need.
D．It’s more convenient to find the products and to pay.
