We live in a society that is producing and using electronics（电子产品）all the time. What happens (A) ____your computers, MP3 players and cell phones when they're broken or you want a new one?

It's important to pay (B)           to e-waste. It can be either valuable or harmful, depending on how we treat it. If people throw it away, the toxic（有毒的）chemicals can get into the soil or air, affecting the environment and people's health.

If you have unwanted electronics such as old toys or cell phones, find a new home for (C) them by giving them to charities.

Birthdays are strange things. The more you have, the more you try and pretend they don't matter, and the more {#blank#}1{#/blank#} . I'm not really sure why they think so. It's true that you are getting older, but as {#blank#}2{#/blank#} , “Who isn't getting older every day?” The problem may be that a birthday reminds people of all the things {#blank#}3{#/blank#} , but have not. I certainly understand that feeling, though I think {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that I most want to do — a kind of personal re-ordering (重新排序) of the to-do list. What makes you depressed(郁闷) on your birthday is that you realize your re-ordered to-do list is exactly the same as it was last year. That makes you feel{#blank#}5{#/blank#} , and not been anywhere. I have not had that experience this year. I look back at where I was last year and find things have changed since then.

    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.

    After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other one was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly without moving.

    The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make it fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. He decided to find someone who knew the natural environment well to solve the problem. Then he sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

    The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. "It is unbelievable!" shouted the king. "How could you make it happen?"

    The farmer replied, “It's very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”

    It is always the same to humans. We all have "two flying wings in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we feel safe and comfortable. We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the "branch" we are resting on breaks.

You will keep your brain active. You can try to remember something new. You can try to learn new skills.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Your brain gets lost of regular exercise if you do any of these things.

    If you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. You must have a balanced diet(均衡饮食)not just fast food.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Unless(如果不)you get enough sleep every night, you will not remember things well.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} If you get too worried, your brain will slow down, and your memory will become less sharp. So, to improve your memory, you should exercise your brain, live a healthy life and stay relaxed.
