What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers?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 away as 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 have been passed, too. Computer companies 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 for 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 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 waste, too.

36. What do many people do with old computers? A. They repair them. C. They send them to others.

B. They sell them. D. They stop using them.

37. How many computer companies are mentioned in the second paragraph？ A. One.

B. Two.

C. Three.

D. Four.

38. According to the laws in some countries, computer companies must . A. recycle most of their products B. collect all their used products C. repair and upgrade old computers D. make more cheaper computers

39. What do the organizations do to solve the problem of old computers? A. Help the computer companies to collect them. B. Repair and send them to those who need them. C. Help people to learn to use them. D. Turn rubbish into useful things. 40. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Repairing old computers.

Earlier this year, China achieved a new landmark in space exploration. On Jan 3, Chang’e 4 became the first space probe in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon, People’s Daily reported.

From Earth, we can only see one side of the moon. The other side has been a mystery. Scientists have long wondered what is on this side of the moon.

Chang’e 4 can’t communicate with Earth directly. But Queqiao, a reply satellite(中继卫星), can help us stay in touch. Queqiao was sent into space in May. After Chang’e 4 landed on the moon, it took pictures and sent them back to Earth through Queqiao.

Chang’e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon. It is also being used to carry out experiments, such as growing seeds in a low-gravity environment. The data(数据) collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base on the moon in the future.

The success of the Chang’e 4 mission is a major achievement for China’s space program. It marks a new stage in China's deep space exploration, said Wu Yanhua.

China launched its lunar exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang’e. Chinese scientists set three goals — “orbiting(环绕运行), landing and sample returning” — referring to launching probes that could circle around the moon, touch down on its surface and bring lunar materials back to Earth.

Chang’e 4 has realized the second goal. The third will be achieved during the Chang'e 5 mission, which is set to take place before the end of this year, China Daily reported.

Following the success of the Chang’e missions, Chinese scientists are looking even farther into(调查) our solar system. China’s first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020, Wu said.

C. Chinese scientists

D. Wu Yanhua

42. Why was Queqiao set up? A. To take photos.

B. To be sent into space. D. To grow seeds on the moon.

44. What’s the third goal of Chang’e? A. Circle around the moon. C. Send people to the moon.

45. What can we infer from the passage?
