Getting a new smartphone is always exciting. A new smartphone usually comes with a better camera, faster processing speed, more storage, and a better screen. However, all of this constant smartphone turnover is causing serious damage to the environment, especially when it comes to getting rid of older phones. A study predicts that smartphones and data processing centers will be the most environmentally harmful part of the communications industry by 2040.

The scale of the problem is huge. An estimated 5.3 billion mobile phones are thrown away each year, according to the WEEE Forum and the Global E-waste Monitor. When items like laptops and cellphones end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场), they release harmful chemicals into the environment.

Pascal Leroy, Director General of the WEEE Forum, said, “People tend not to realize that all these seemingly unimportant items have important value, and together at a global level represent huge quantities.”

He added that waste recycling groups are trying to make it easier for people to deal with small electronic waste. A UN report also describes global ideas for reducing the electronic waste problem, including setting uniform recycling standards and legal requirements.

Fortunately, solutions exist. Recycling electronic waste can recover valuable materials such as gold, copper, silver, and palladium, which can be reused in other products. Some of the best ways to deal with a smartphone at the end of its life are giving it directly to the phone’s producer or a retail store(零售店), or donating it to a charity for repair and reuse. There are also several ways to up cycle an old cellphone, for example by turning it into an alarm clock, a security camera, or an e-reader.

1.What is particularly mentioned as a cause of environmental problems?(     )

A.Abandoning old smartphones.

B.Producing a new smartphone.

C.Building data processing centers.

D.Improving the communications industry.

2.How much gold can be found in 2 tonnes of PCBs?( )

A.100 g.  B.150 g.   C.300 g.   D.1,600 g.

3.What is the author’s suggestion for dealing with an old smartphone?(     )

A.Repairing it for future use.

B.Using it to read e-books.

C.Selling its parts in a retail store.

D.Recovering its metals by yourself.

In 2024, Chinese doctor Wang Zhenyi, turning 100, was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honour, for his battle against leukemia(白血病). Over decades, he transformed acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL), a deadly disease, into one that can be cured.

In the mid-20th century, he saw about 60 APL patients die in a single year, which strengthened his determination to defeat leukemia. “As a doctor, it pains me most to see a patient suffering when there is nothing I can do,” he said.

Wang spent nearly all his free time in libraries and labs, doing research. After years of tireless work, an element called all-trans-retinoic acid(ATRA) came into the picture as a hopeful cure for APL.

In 1986, a five-year-old girl who was found to have APL was expected to die quickly. Wang used ATRA on her. Seven days later, her symptoms improved significantly; a month later, she fully recovered. That year, 24 APL patients were treated, and 23 of them got better without needing chemotherapy(化疗).

However, some patients later got sick again. To solve this, Wang added arsenic trioxide(ATO), a poisonous chemical. At first, the use of the poisonous compound was met with much doubt. However, it proved effective. With the new ATRA-ATO combination therapy, the survival rate of patients with APL rose from 10 percent to more than 97 percent.

Wang refused to patent(获得专利) the therapy. “A doctor should put patients’ well-being first,” he said. Today, a box of 10 ATRA pills costs just 300 yuan in China.

Honoured with national awards, Wang stayed modest. He said, “I achieved only one thing — being responsible for my patients.”

4.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?(     )

A.Wang won the medal for his contributions.

B.The medal strengthened Wang’s determination.

C.APL caused patients to die quickly and painlessly.
