What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.　　
Some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.　　
In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to collect and recycle their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升级）.　　
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.　　
The computers then go to schools, charities and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things—and cut down on waste, too.

Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?

“I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, but that’s all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We wouldn’t know what to do, or how to look after ourselves,” said Zheng Chenyu. “And I’d forget something important. I’d probably watch television and burn the soup. ”

　　“The moment I leave home, I’ll learn to cook. But now parents do almost everything for us. We’re very lazy,” she said.

　　Most teenagers have only time for their homework. (1)They don’t learn any life skills until they go to college.

　　However, Sima Yige doesn’t think so.

“I think I’d be all right. I wouldn’t just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook some sim­ple dishes because my mum showed me,” the 13-year-old boy said. In his opinion, many teen­agers (2) 过分依赖 their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like tidying up your room or even dressing yourself properly.”

For most teenagers it wouldn’t be a holiday at all.
