Autism(自閉癥) is a disorder of the brain that happens in the first three years of life. It affects the brain's normal development. Most autistic patients have difficulty talking with other people or doing things. However, some of the autistic people have amazing abilities. For example, some can memorize many things and some can do calculations really fast.

Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 film Rain Man is an example. The character in the film was based on Kim Peek, a man from the USA. Peek couldn't switch on a light or put his clothes on by himself. But his memory was so amazing that he could remember almost anything. He could memorize every road, place and distance on maps. He could even remember almost every word in thousands of books. His way of reading was more amazing. Peek could read two pages at the same time in just eight to ten seconds. He read the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye.

Scientists still don't know for sure why some autistic people have special talent after they have done a lot of research. There is one possible explanation. When certain parts of the brain are damaged! by autism, other parts of the brain might get stronger. Therefore special abilities were born.

But not all people with autism have amazing abilities. In fact, autistic people with amazing abilities are rare (罕有的) and the abilities cannot be trained. According to research, only ten percent of autistic people show any signs of special talent.

Mobile phone history

Not long ago, mobile phones were used mainly by business people and government officers in society. In the US, mobile phone users were about 340,000 in 1985. Now there are 205 million mobile phones users in the US. Studies also show that over 50 percent of children in the US own their own personal mobile phones. The mobile phones explosion(激增) has led to a huge number of waste phones. The number of mobile phone users has also increased throughout the world. In the middle of 2005, the number of total users jumped to 2.4 billion worldwide.

Mobile phone waste

When people throw their mobile phones away, they usually end up in the open air. Mobile phones include some materials like lead, mercury and cadmium。 They can go into public drinking water and food and do harm to people’s health. About 75 percent of mobile phone users don’t know their phones away. Instead, they prefer to keep the waste ones sitting around the house as they are not worth very much. People are also afraid that others may know their information if they sell their waste phones. Less than 20 percent of them are recycled each year.

Benefits of recycling mobile phones

Mobile phones have valuable materials inside. The most valuable material is gold, which is used in the phone circuit boards. Recycling can reduce greenhouse gas emissions(排放物) and keep natural resources like gold. If all of the waste phones in the US are recycled, it will save enough energy to offer over 194,000 US families electricity(電) for one year.

How mobile phone recycling works

Many people do not know how mobile phone recycling works. One method of recycling mobile phones is to take the working parts of broken phones, then combine(使結(jié)合) them with the working parts of other used mobile phones to make one ready-to-use mobile phone. Another method of mobile phone recycling is to melt(融化) down and separate parts of the phone in order to get the valuable natural resources, such as gold and platinum. Plastic and glass can also be recycled from used mobile phones.

Meet Thomas Wilson. Thomas is famous all over the World. He holds the world record for sleeping in(睡過(guò)頭). One weekend, Thomas slept in for two days, three hours and fourteen minutes. It was unbelievable. No one in history had ever slept in for so long before.

Thomas was very proud of his world record. His friends were proud of him, too. Whenever Thomas walked down the street, people always came up to him and shook his hand. Thomas was a star.

The only person who wasn’t proud of Thomas’s world record was his father. Dad didn’t like it when Thomas slept in. He complained that whenever Thomas slept in, the lawns didn’t get mowed. He was worried about how high the grass was getting. Every weekend, it seemed to get higher and higher. “It’s like a jungle there.” Dad moaned(抱怨) to Thomas one day. But Thomas wasn’t worried about the grass getting higher. He had more important things on his mind—— like sleeping in.

One morning, Thomas was woken from a deep sleep by a loud roaring noise. It sounded like a wild animal pacing about under his bedroom window.

Thomas rushed over to the window and pulled the curtains back. His eyes bulged like basketballs. “What on earth…？” He gasped. There, in the middle of the backyard, was a lion! “Awesome!” cried Thomas. Suddenly, a giraffe poked its head through the window. It munched the leaves from a plant sitting by Thomas’s bed. Next, an elephant walked past the swimming pool and squirted(噴出) water all over Dad’s car! “Cool!” cheered Thomas. “Now I don’t have to wash Dad’s car today.”…(選自《新理念英語(yǔ)閱讀》)
