What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish. Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(产品), Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers. In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级). Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations(组织)are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. The computers then go to schools, charities(慈善团体)and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things-and cut down on waste, too. | |||

Movie magic can defy reality, but actors are inescapably human.They grow and change, and don"t necessarily change for the better. Harry Potter actors, who are now saying their final goodbyes to their roles, have all become fully-fledged (成熟的) grown-ups, worlds apart from the little kids who began the Hogwarts" adventures in 2001. While many fans feel sad that the magical franchise (特权) is coming to an end, some feel even sadder to see how much the actors have changed over the years. "Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Harry Potter) went from being a really cute kid to a thin, pale-looking guy," said Filipino Internet User Lealuvy."I kind of wish he stayed a kid forever."" Radcliffe himself doesn"t seem to be bothered by his change of appearance. In an interview with GQ magazine last week, he teased himself: "If people find me sexy or cool, it"s because they like short, little, nerdy guys. And we do have our niche (合适的职业)." Meanwhile, actors growing up to be handsome have their headaches. Harry Melling, who played Potter"s cousin Dudley Dursley, told The Telegraph that he was almost recast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when producers discovered he" d lost a lot of weight he had as a kid. He was too thin for the part. "They (the producers) did this double take, "Oh my God, we are going to have to do something", and I felt guilty," said Meiling. Aside from changes in looks, the gradual personality change of child stars is another big concern of audience and producers. Miley Cyrus began her career at 13 in Disney"s hit TV series Hannah Montana. When Cyrus decided to show her adult personality by releasing "sexy" photos, people began to get uneasy about her. Reports said that furious Disney bosses were considering replacing Cyrus with a more clean-cut teen star. Cyrus finally kept her role after public apologies. But some parents banned their children watching the show. "My daughter has been banned from watching the show," supermodel Cindy Crawford told Showbiz Spy." I really don"t think Miley Cyrus is much of a role model for my kid." | |||
