    In order to recycle old mobile phones, the town of Savonlinna in southeast Finland holds a Mobile Phone Throwing Competition every year.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    While competitors cannot throw their own phones, the competition organizers provide hundreds of mobiles to choose from.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Last year's winner Ere Karjalainen set a world record with his 101.46m throw. As a prize, he got a chance of drinking and practiced again as his preferred training methods.

    Those without a strong throwing arm can enter the freestyle competition.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}A three-person jury (评委) gives scores from one to six, and the thrower with the highest number of points wins.

    Once all the day's phones have been thrown, they are taken to a recycling center. They will not be wasted as rubbish.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Anyone who offers his phone will have a free chance to take part in the competition while those who don't need to pay eleven dollars per person or five dollars for children of 12 and under.

Different Stresses As a Teenager

    As a teenager, there are so many stresses in your life and so many things are changing . For example, your body is changing. When you observe yourself changing, you may not always be happy with what you see. Remember that everyone goes through these changes. Be proud of your body because it's bringing you closer to being an adult.

    Another difficulty that a teenager faces is how to deal with social groups. You want to fit in but sometimes it's difficult to break into certain groups. In this case, you can speak to members of the group individually(分别地)and if they accept you, great; if not, leave it alone. If you try too hard to get into a group, they'll be more likely to refuse you more, for fun. What's more, it's better to stay with those who like the way you are.

    Teenagers may also have stresses in school. Teachers are going to prepare you for the outside world, which means you'll have more schoolwork. At this time, you'd better take a step back and relax. After all, they just want you to succeed. In the real world, no one will tell you what to do, so take your time and make good use of it. If you have any problems, you can share them with your teacher.

    Besides all the requirements at school, you may have more at home. If your parents have high expectations for you, you may feel stress from different areas. But remember they just want the best for you. If your parents aren't interested in how your study is or who your friends are, you can find another adult like a teacher to believe in. If you get support from people you trust, your hard times will be over.

    Plants are very important. Plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals can get their food by eating plants and other animals. Man gets his food by eating plants and animals, too. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why there are so many plants around us.

    There are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non­flowering plants. Almost all the trees around us are flowering plants. You can know some trees from their flo­wers and fruit. Non­flowering plants do not grow flowers. You can not see many non­flowering plants around you.

    If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are many kinds of plants. Some plants are large and some are small. Most of them are green. Thanks to the plants around us, we can live on earth.
