【1】I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didn’t doubt the unusual delay (延迟) of my report.

A month later, Dad casually (随意地) asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and askd for an answer. 【2】 I had lied because I didn’t want to let him down.

For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice,“You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score. That is no big deal—no one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. 【3】It’s much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust in you.”

Dad’s words touched my heart. I couldn’t forgive myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and apologized, sincerely. I realized that my honesty is not only important to me personally, but to those around me that trully care about my well-being.

Sadness and happiness are often talked about by people in their spare time. Most people want themselves to be happy for ever, but few know how to find happiness.

A famous a Greek thinker, Aristotle, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” That’s to say,we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much timethinking about the future. For example, getting into college or getting a good job, which we fail to enjoy thepresent. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping or help out with some things around the house for an elderly person.

If you do above, you will be happy.

27、We live in a society that is producing and using electronics（电子产品）all the time. 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. E-waste is created and has become a serious problem. It really needs our attention.

Burying（填埋）e-waste or burning it causes 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（循环利用）e-waste. 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 which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.

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.

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. We must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.

【1】According to the passage, __________ is NOT a form of e-waste.

A. a computer   B. an MP4 player   C. a radio   D. a bike
