The Speed Set 1200 is even more convenient to use than the Speed Set 1001. Like the Speed Set 1001, it has voice mail and caller show function, but the 1200 model has a bigger memory, so you can send and receive longer voice mails. Not only that, the newer model recognizes the voice mails, so it can tell you who the caller is. Also, the Speed Set 1200 has a more powerful battery, so you can recharge(充电) faster. With this model, it only takes you thirty minutes to recharge.
The Speed Set 1200 has been already widely used in Asia and Europe. It is very popular with students and business people, as it has an Internet function that allows you to get information about news, sports and entertainment in just a few seconds.
In the past, mobile phones were widely used to keep in touch with other people, but with the new Speed Set 1200, you can not only use it as a phone but also use it as a mini computer. So, if you are thinking of getting a new mobile phone, choose the Speed Set 1200. It's not just a phone. It's also a computer. At 2800 yuan, it's the cheaper mini computer in town!
Recycling: China takes it seriously |
On July 1st, Shanghai launched(颁布)a new and very strict recycling law. People who fail to obey it could be fined as much as 200 yuan($30) while the fine for companies can be as high as 50,000 yuan ($7,285). And many were fined. It became a hot topic in Shanghai, even around China. All major cities in China are expected to start similar garbage classification(分类) within the year. |
WHY RECYCLE |
Too much garbage: Everything about China is big. When it comes to garbage there are 215 million tons of each year, and still growing, by as high as 10% every year. Too much pollution: Landfill and burning two main disposal methods(处理方法) in China, are problematic in themselves and could lead to more pollution if handled improperly(处理不当). Too many usable: There are many usable materials in garbage, and trash sorting can help collect such recyclables more efficiently. Even compost(肥料) can be used. |
HOW TO SORT |
Most Chinese cities classify(分类) garbage into four categories: Recyclables: Newspapers, mirrors, plastics, cans, glass, fabrics, and abandoned electronics. Kitchen waste: perishables(易腐的) such as leftovers, offal(动物内脏), fruit peel, tea grounds, as well as eggshells and fallen leaves of potted plants. Others: disposable(一次性的)dishware, broken bowls and dishes, tissues, diapers(尿布), plastic wrap, and large animal bones. Dangerous waste: rechargeable batteries, lighting tubes, expired(过期的) medicines, mercury thermometers (水银温度计)and etc. |
In addition to fines, Chinese cities are taking other measures as well. For example, Lectures(讲座) on trash sorting have been given at kindergartens, elementary and middle schools. People who properly classify garbage can receive points and regularly exchange the points for small gifts. If you want to know more about recycling in China, please click chinadaily.com.cn. |
