For most people,the word “ fashion (时尚) ” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the word “fashionable” in the same way:
“She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable color. ”
But of course there are fashions in many things,not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays,in restaurants,in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects,jobs. . . and in languages.

Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers,radios,telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things,so you see there is money in fashion.

Cat grass seeds you can buy at plant stores

A recent study found people's lives are made shorter in North China. It showed the life expectancy (平均寿命) had been cut by 5. 5 yeays there. Researchers think that the heavy air pollution in China should be to blame (承担责任) . It's really the truth. Our government has already done something. However,it doesn’t seem to work so well.

E-waste is fast becoming a serious problem around the world. This report will examine this problem and provide some possible ways to solve it.
We live in a society that is producing and using electronics (电子产品) all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also,through clever advertising,companies always encourage people to change their old TVs,mobile phones and computers for the latest models. E-waste is created when we throw away old ones. In the EU alone,about 8,700,000 tons of e-waste is produced each year. Sadly,just over 1,000,000 tons is recycled.
Burying (填埋) e-waste or burning it causes serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.
In recent years, . However,their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. Here they are often burnt in public areas,which is very bad for people's health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-cycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.
Another way is to make producers responsible (负责任) for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.
As for us,we should try to cut down on e-waste. Change electronics only when we have to. And don't buy a product just to have the latest model.
E-waste is a serious problem in the modem world. Both producers and users must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.
