E-waste is a big problem. Huge amounts of electronics are thrown away, instead of being recycled.These items often end up in landfills（垃圾填埋场）and the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. October 14 was International E-Waste Day. This year, the day was about “invisible” e-waste - things most people don't think of as electronics. A group known as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Forum) is trying to make people know more about the problems of e-waste. Recently, WEEE invited researchers from the United Nations (UN) to study a kind of e-waste that's often not noticed because people don't usually consider these items to be electronics. The WEEE calls this type of product “invisible” e-waste. Though it's “invisible”, it' certainly not a small amount. WEEE says that if this e-waste were put into 40-ton trucks and the trucks were then lined up, the line of trucks would stretch for about 5,630 kilometers, about the same as the distance from New York City to London. Toys are on the top of the invisible e-waste group. Worldwide, about 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. These include items like car racing sets, electric trains and musical toys. They also include toys with electronic parts, like dolls that speak. In all, toys make up about 35% of invisible e-waste. But the problem is far larger than just toys. Other everyday items like home alarms,smoke alarms, power tools, and computer cables are also big sources of invisible e-waste. WEEE is hoping that as more people and governments become aware of e-waste,they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get re-used or recycled. 74. Why does E-waste bring a lot of attention? 75. What is this year's topic for International E-Waste Day? 76. What organization is working to get people aware of the problems of e-waste? 77. According to the text, what item is the major（最主要的）source of invisible e-waste？ 78. Name two of the items you use every day that belong to invisible e-waste. 79. What can we probably do to solve the problem of e-waste?
