    E-waste is fast becoming a serious problem around the world. This report will examine this problem and provide some possible ways to solve it.

We live in a society that is producing and using electronics(电子产品) all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies always encourage people to change their old TVs, mobile phones and computers for the latest models. E-waste is created when we throw away old ones. In the EU alone, about 8,700,000 tons of e-waste is produced each year. Sadly, just over 1,000,000 tons is recycled.

    Burying(填埋) e-waste or burning it cause serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.

    In recent years,   ▲  . However, their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. Here they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people's health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-cycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.

    Another way is to make producers responsible(负责任) for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.

    As for us, we should try to cut down on e-waste. Change electronics only when we have to. And don't buy a product just to have the latest model.

    E-waste is a serious problem in the modern world. Both producers and users must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.

(1)、According to the passage, it is often _______ to buy new electronics than to repair old ones.

A、more expensive B、more difficult C、cheaper D、worse

AI is now an everyday technology, as common as e-mail or online video. AI is changing how we live. No wonder the UK's Collins Dictionary has named "AI" as its Word of the Year. Here are some excellent AI tools in "Time's Best Inventions of AI".

Midjourney

You can get creative and beautiful pictures by sending sentences to it. The picture will be done at once. It can design different styles and colors for you. And you don't need to download the app, you can just use it on the website on line.

FeaturePrint

How can we tell a real thing from a fake (假的) one? Feature Print helps. It is an app using AI. Take a photo of something like gold, a watch or a pair of shoes. Then, the app "sees" the photo carefully and it tells you whether the thing is real or not.

Chat GPT

It allows you to have human-like conversations. The language model can answer questions, and help you with tasks such as writing e-mails, articles, and novels. You can also ask the app for help coming up with creative holiday gift ideas for different family members.

Google

GEMINI

AI Gemini

Take a look at Google's most progressive app, it can make you feel excited. It can help you with texts, pictures and videos. It does well in a test that includes 57 subjects, such as math, history and so on.

Trail Guard AI

It helps to protect wild animals. Small cameras on it keep an eye on animals and look out for poachers (偷猎者). It has already helped to catch 30 poachers in Africa.

What could AI do in the future? We will have to wait and see.

Hundreds of years ago, a Norse (挪威的) army came from the north of Europe and stepped onto the land of Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to keep the Norsemen out of Scotland, but there were too many of them. It looked as if the Norsemen would win.

One night, the leader of Scots took his soldiers to the top of a hill." We will rest here tonight, my men," he said." Tomorrow we will have another fight. We must win or we will die."

They were all very tired, so they ate their dinner quickly and fell asleep. There were four soldiers on duty, watching out for any danger at night. But they were also very tired. One by one, they fell asleep as well.

The Norsemen were not asleep. Very soon, they came together at the foot of the hill. In order to walk quietly, the Norsemen took off their shoes. Slowly they climbed up the hillside without making any sound. Closer and closer, they moved towards the sleeping Scots. They were almost there. A few minutes more, the war would be over.

Suddenly, one of the Norse soldiers put his foot on a thistle(蓟) and got hurt. He cried out and his sudden cry woke up all the Scots. In a moment, they were on their feet and ready to fight. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots drove the Norsemen away and saved their country.

From then on, the thistle has become popular in Scotland. Although it is not beautiful and has sharp needles all over it, Scottish people still make it their national flower.

 For as long as humans have appeared, we have been the smartest species(物种) on Earth. Monkeys know how to use simple tools. Elephants can be taught how to count. But things like art, literature, the Internet, and space travel have only been made possible by the amazing intelligence(智力) of humans. And yet, there are some who believe that we can create machines that can think and feel just like we do. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is defined (定义) by Merriam - Webster as"the ability of a machine to copy intelligent human behaviour".

AI is around us every day. From Apple's voice-activated assistant Siri to the software algorithms(算法) that shipping companies use to deal with deliveries,AI is very much a part of our lives.

 But why do we try hard to create machines that can think the way we do? AI can make our lives much easier. Imagine being able to be in a car, tell it the place and sit back in comfort as the AI - guided self- driving car takes you there. We' re already getting there—— Changsha became the first city in China to roll out self - driving taxis in April 

2020. Moreover, AI can control lighting, temperature, and security systems, making homes more comfortable and energy - saving.

 However, there are risks (风险) . What if we somehow produced an artificial intelligence that was smarter than us? Would they control us? Would they take away our jobs? These are difficult questions that AI researchers ask themselves all the time.

 Except for the risks, it has been already clear that Al is here to stay. Only time will tell if it will lead us into a new age of prosperity(繁荣) , or be our end.
