New Lives for Old Phones
When a new mobile phone starts to be sold in stores, many people rush out to buy one. We all want the newest, latest thing.
Mike Townsend works at Total Recall, a mobile phone recycling company. "Don't throw your old phone away. If you throw it away, it goes with other rubbish to become landfill. In other words, it is put in a big hole in the ground-and it becomes a big problem," he says.
Mobile phones contain some poisonous materials. If your phone goes to a landfill, these poisonous materials can get out and get into the water under the ground. That's the water we need to drink or water goes into rivers or the ocean. That's a lot of landfill and a lot of poisonous materials.
"At Total Recall, we separate the old phones into pieces. Most of the materials in the mobile phones can be recycled and used again. For example, phone batteries contain nickel and cadmium. The nickel is used to make steel, and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries," explains Mike.
"You can usually just take it into a mobile phone shop and they will send it to us," says Mike.
So before you throw that old mobile phone away, use it one last time: search for a recycler near you and give them a call.
A. Send it to us and we'll recycle it.
B. Recycling your old phone is easy.
C. How much is your old mobile phone worth?
D. But what should we do with our old mobile phones?
E. Millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year.
F. We take apart the old phones and they are used to make new products.
G. Recycling materials helps keep the environment greener and cleaner.

A. Remember past successes. B. The written word is very powerful. C. Don't forget about buying yourself a gift. D. Don't just write them down and leave them like that. E. Moreover, talking about your goals with others helps a lot. F. However, with a little effort we can learn how to increase our motivation. G. It could be something as simple as sweets or something greater like a vacation. |

You need to feel confident about your studies. I am sure all of us have succeeded on several occasions. Remember these past successes and you will feel more motivated to continue!
Write down your goals.
Don't just think about them, don't just say them, write them down! {#blank#}4{#/blank#} And that's why you find salesmen always want you to write something down before you actually buy something. By writing your name down, you are in a sense giving your support for their cause. If then you are asked to buy what they are selling, you are more likely to do that than if you hadn't signed the paper!
See your goals.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Put them up on the wall and paste (粘贴) small post-it notes all over the place. You have to keep on reminding yourself of the purpose behind your studies and what type of results you're expecting to achieve.
