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.

The human face is a remarkable piece of work. The astonishing variety of facial features helps people recognize each other and is to the formation of complex societies. So is the face's ability to send emotional signals, whether through an involuntary yawn or a(n) smile. People spend much of their waking lives reading faces. Technology is rapidly catching up. In America facial recognition is used by churches to track worshippers' attendance. In 2017, Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game.

Although faces are  to individuals, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight,  on something that is private. And yet the ability to record, store and analyze images of faces cheaply, quickly and on a vast promises one day to bring about fundamental changes to notions of privacy, fairness and trust.

Start with privacy. One big difference between faces and other biological data, such as fingerprints, is that they work at a(n) . Anyone with a phone can take a picture for facial-recognition programs to use. Photographs of half of America's adult population are stored in databases that can be used by the FBI to track criminals, but at enormous potential to citizens' privacy.

The face is not just a name-tag. It displays a lot of other information — and machines can read that, too. Again, that promises benefits. Some firms are analyzing faces to provide automated of rare genetic disorders far earlier than would otherwise be possible. But the technology also threatens. Researchers at Stanford University that, when shown pictures of one gay man, and one straight man, the system could identify their sexuality correctly 81% of the time. Humans managed only 61%. In countries where homosexuality is a crime, software which promises to infer sexuality from a face is a(n) prospect.

    If life were a book and you were the author, how would you like the story to go? That is the question that 1 my life forever.

    One day I went home from the training of snowboarding with what I thought was the flu, and less than 24 hours later, I was in a 2 on life support with less than two percent 3 of living. It wasn't until days later that the doctors diagnosed me with a 4 blood infection.

Over the 5 of 2.5 months, I lost the hearing in my left ear and both my legs below the knee. When my parents 6 me out of the hospital, I 7 that I had been put together like a patchwork(拼缝物) doll and I had to live with 8 legs. I was absolutely physically and emotionally broken, 9 streaming down.

    But I knew in order to move forward, I had to let go of the Old Amy and 10 the New Amy. It was at this moment that I asked myself that significant 11. And that is when it 12 me that I didn't have to be five-foot-five anymore,13 I could be as tall as I wanted. And 14 of all, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes. So there were 15 here.

    Four months later, I was back upon a 16. And this February, I won two Board World Cup gold medals, 17 me the highest ranked snowboarder in the world.

    So, instead of looking at our 18 and our limitations as something 19 or bad, we can begin looking at them as a wonderful 20 that can be used to help us go further than we ever know we could go.
