Don't throw away your old phones. You are actually throwing away real gold! Smartphones have many kinds of useful metals. People can recycle them to make new electronics.
But many people may not knowthis. In Australia alone there are more than 25 million unused mobile phones lying around, The Sydney Morning Herald reported. The gold in these phones can add up to a value of more than $80 million. There are about 2 billion smartphone users around the world, who change their phone once every 11 months on average. So in China, eighty million old phones come along every year.
However, it's not easy to get the useful things out of the phones. Smartphones have not only useful things but also harmful materials. Guiyu, a small town in Shantou, Guangdong, is one of the world's biggest dumping grounds for electronic waste, Reuters reported. Many recycling centers in Guiyu simply break the old electronics by hand and don't think about the pollution it causes. It's reported that 81 percent of children in Guiyu are harmed by lead poisoning(铅中毒).
Veena Sahajwalla, a professor at Australia's University of New South Wales, has made a mini factory. It makes smartphone recycling cleaner and easier. The mini factory is very small and easy to move around. It breaks the phones and automatically(自动地)removes the phone's useful things. That way, humans do not get poisoned.
Well, have you ever wondered what happens to the old phone after it's no longer yours? A part of your old smartphone could soon be proudly worn around the neck of one of the world's top athletes. Organizers of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics say that medals for the event will be made from recycled phones. They will also be made out of people's thoughts for avoiding waste. They think there is an important message in this for the future.

In my mind, happiness comes when I make my dream come true or when someone tells me how much I mean to them. When my mother is sad, I always cook a nice meal for her. —Joe,16 |

Everyone makes mistakes. That's what this understanding English museum's worker wants one child to know after a careless mistake during his visit.
When a young boy was visiting a museum named Christchurch Mansion with his family, he accidentally knocked a historic jug off the window edge (边缘). The jug broke into 65 pieces. The boy, who was about 4 or 5 years old at the time, was rather sad about the accident.
The jug is about 221 years old. It is worth up to 2, 000 pounds. The jug has three spouts(壶嘴) and the user must guess which spout the water will pour from.
Carrie Willis is the duty officer of the museum. Under the direction of the museum's conservation officer Bob Entwistle, she put back together the 18th- century Delft Puzzle Jug.
"We want the young boy to know that all is well, "a spokesman of the museum said. "We would like to invite him and his family back to have a special tour and see the magically repaired jug. "
What do people think of this accident? The museum workers dealt with the situation well in reaching out to the boy. The world needs more acts of kindness like this. — Sara(Bunbury, Australia) Parents do not teach their children how to behave these days. It's the parents' job to look after their children. The parents were lazy and careless. — Elizabeth (Cape Town, South Africa) The fault here lies with the museum. They should keep the jug in a safer place. They were being careless with the jug. — Neil (London, the UK) |
