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 all the time. It is often cheaperto 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, many countries have started recycling e-waste. 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 for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products. They should then make sure old products 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.

( )66. People would rather buy new electronics than repair old ones mostly because ______.

A. it's more expensive to repair them

( )67. The e-waste appears then ______.

A. new electronic products were made

B. electronic products were used

C. old ones need repairing

D. old ones were thrown away

( )68. Which one is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Numerous countries have started recycling waste in recent years.

B. The way of recycling electronics in Ghana is not good to people's health.

C. E-cycling centers should recycle the electronics completely.

D. Useless products ought to be recycled or reused by producers.

( )69. The word"reduce” most probably means " ______”.
