26、   Have you ever heard of e-waste, which can be produced every day？How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they're broken or you want a new one？

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

It's important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic（有毒的）chemicals can get into the earth or air, affecting the environment and people's health.

Apple, for example, now recycle people's used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.

【1】How many tons did the people around the world produce e-waste in 2014?

A.6.15 million tons B.7.1 million tons

C.41.8 million tons D.6 million tons

【2】The following can become e-waste EXCEPT ______.

【3】If people throw the metals away, the toxic chemicals can get into the earth or air, it will be ______ to people's heath.

A.good B.helpful C.valuable D.harmful

【4】Which statement is TRUE according to Paragraph 4?

27、阅读短文，根据短文内容判断句子正误。正确的涂A，错误的涂B。

With her eyes feeling increasingly tired and unclear, 16-year-old Sun Run went to the hospital with her parents in January. She was shocked when she found out that her eyesight was from 5. 0 to 4. 6 in only a term. “A few of my friends have had the same experience lately,” Sun said.

In fact, poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59. 2 percent to 70. 6 percent in the first six months of 2020 because of online classes.

To protect students’ eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements for school supplies (供应) and equipment (设备) that will work on March 1, 2022.

According to the requirements, the size of text in students’ textbooks should be no smaller than nine-point. Teachers should also avoid using multimedia (多媒体) equipment like screens that are too bright. There are also requirements for desk and classroom lights. For example, these lights should give off as little blue light as possible. Blue light is bad for our eyes, but many of the electronic instruments we use every day, including our phones and computer screens, give off blue light.

Chinese government has also taken other steps to protect students’ eyesight in China. In May 2021, the National Health Commission required schools to make sure that students have at least two hours of outdoor activity a day.

【1】Sun Run’s eyesight increased by 0.4 in only a term.

【2】We can infer that the rise of students with poor eyesight over the first half of 2020 is caused by long time’s looking at screens.

【3】There are 3 requirements for school supplies and equipment mentioned in the passage to protect students’ eyesight.

【4】Teachers should stop using screens or other multimedia equipment to protect students’ eyesight.

【5】The purpose of the passage is to tell students how to use electronic instruments correctly.
