Mobile phone history
Not long ago, mobile phones were used mainly by business people and government
officers in society. In the US, mobile phone users were about 340,000 in 1985. Now there
are 205 million mobile phone users in the US. Studies also show that over 50 percent of
children in the US own their own personal mobile phones. The mobile phone explosion ( 激
增) has led to a huge number of waste phones. The number of mobile phones users has also
increased throughout the world. In the middle of 2005, the number of total users jumped to
2.4 billion worldwide.
Mobile phone waste
When people throw their mobile phones away, they usually end up in the open air. Mobile phones include some
materials like lead, mercury and cadmium. They can go into public drinking water and food and do harm to
people’s health. About 75 percent of mobile phone users don’t throw their phones away. Instead, they prefer to
keep the waste ones sitting around the house as they are not worth very much. People are also afraid that others
may know their information if they sell their waste phones. Less than 20 percent of them are recycled each year.
Benefits (益处) of recycling mobile phones
Mobile phones have valuable materials inside. The most valuable material is gold, which is used in the phone
circuit boards. Recycling can reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放物) and keep natural resources like gold. If all
of the waste phones in the US are recycled, it will save enough energy to offer over 194,000 U.S. families electricity
(电) for one year.
How mobile phone recycling works
Many people do not know how mobile phone recycling works. One method of recycling mobile phones is to
take the working parts of broken phones, then combine (使结合) them with the working parts of other used mobile
phones to make one ready-to-use mobile phone. Another method of mobile phone recycling is to melt (熔化) down
and separate parts of the phone in order to get the valuable natural resources, such as gold and platinum. Plastic and
glass can also be recycled from used mobile phones.

It’s a big challenge for you to complete any personal goal in time. And it always seems that you won’t have enough
time to finish all you need to do. Do you know the way to make the time for your goal? Here are some tips which
may help you.
Focus on one thing at a time. Remember not to take on too many goals at a time, or your energy will be used
up soon. Once one goal is finished, you can go to the next one. Set up at least a month per goal.
Prioritize(优先处理)the most important. We have more than one thing to complete. If we put all the things
before our goal, we won’t ever find the time for it. If we put our goal at the first place, we’ll make the time.
Keep your goal simple. It’s important not to make your goal too difficult. If you want to be slim, for example,
you just need to develop the habit for your health, walking each day (or running, or cycling etc), drinking more
water, eating fruits and vegetables instead of junk snacks.
Shut your door. Try to set a time that you won’t be disturbed (打扰). If you are disturbed from time to time,
you really don't have the time to help out. So you must shut your door when working on the most important tasks.
If so, you will get them done better.
Stop wasting time. In our daily life, there are many things wasting your time, such as watching drama series
and going to bars. If you don’t do them, it won’t make a great difference to your life. So stop doing them to free up
time for your goals.
If you follow the above, you will succeed to achieve your goal

Wind is a powerful force( 力 量 ) in nature. Wind energy is one of the causes of great waves in the world’s
oceans. Winds can help create powerful storms, but wind is a force you can’t see but can surely feel. Its power can
be used to create electricity for cities and the countryside.
Wind can also power many expressions in American English. Let’s start with a simple one. If you run like the
wind, you are a very fast runner. After running, sometimes you can feel full of energy. The runner gets what we call
a second wind. We use this expression when we are tired, but then get more energy to finish something. For
2
example, sometimes I feel tired after work. But after a short rest and a cup of tea, I get my second wind. I’m ready
to do something fun with my friends and family.
If you are doing something difficult, it is good to have the wind at your back. In this way, it is easier to go
forward. It’s always more difficult to do something in a strong wind–unless you are sailing.
Knowing the direction of the wind is the most important part of sailing. When wind fills a sail, it makes the
boat go faster. If you take the wind out of someone’s sails, you prevent them from reaching their goals. You create a
barrier(障碍) or stop them in some way. In life, it’s lucky to have friends who want to fill your sails with wind and
not take it out.
Let’s turn from sailing to music. Many songwriters use the image(形象) of wind in their songs. If something
such as an idea is blowing in the wind, it is being discussed but has yet to be decided. When a singer sings “you
don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows,” he means that you don’t need someone in power to
confirm something for you. Just trust yourself. You can find it out on your own. So, when you know which way the
wind blows, you know what is going on.
Now you know which way the wind blows. Then how can you use these expressions properly? First, read
them aloud and keep them in mind. Then, practice using them and test yourself. You know, practice makes perfect.

Eco-friendly(环保) rain gardens have beautiful flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community.
They are also healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby. A rain garden is not very
different from a traditional garden, It is just far more eco-friendly. Usually it is built lower than the ground.
Why Eco-friendly Rain Gardens Are Recommended
Rain gardens smartly used rain and storm water by temporarily(暂时) holding water from rain and storms and
