These days , children often think of superheroes(超級英雄)as cute , cool and strong supermen．A poor , short and thin boy wearing glasses may not interest the kids today．Yet in less than 4 years , Harry Potter has taken the world by the storm．J．K．Rowling, the writer of Harry Potter , was a British single mother out of work and living on money given to her by the government．One day , when she was on a long train trip , she had the idea for this book．She wrote the first book of the seven in the café with her baby daughter sleeping beside her．Last year , the fans welcomed the birth of the fourth by lining outside the bookstores．Today these books are still popular among people．Harry Potter is something more than fantasy(幻想)．Rowling tries to tell the readers how things are not always what they seem to be．However, millions of the fans don’t care about such a lesson．They would like to spend many sleepless nights waiting in line for the fifth , the sixth and the seventh to come．For them．,surprising stories of the little boy are what they want．

　　1970 was the “ Would Conservation Year ”．The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger．They hoped that governments would act quickly in order to conserve(保護(hù))nature．Here is one example of the problem．At one time there was 1300 different kinds of plants, trees and flowers in Holand , but now only 866 remain．The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology．We are changing the earth．the air and the water, and everything that grows and lives here．We can’t live without these things．If things continue like this , we shall destroy ourselves．

　　What will happen in the future?Perhaps it is more important to ask , “What must we do now?” The people who will be living ing the world of tomorrow are the young of today．A lot of them know that conservation is necessary．Many are helping to save our world．They plant trees , build bridges across rivers in forests and so on．In a small town in the United States , a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometes of their river．Young people may hear about conservation through a record called NO ONE’S GOING TO CHANGE OUR WORLD．It was made by the Beatles and other singers．The money from it will help to conserve animals．

　　What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers?Most people don’t know what to do with them．Many old computers are put away in homes．Many more are simply thrown out with the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(產(chǎn)品)．Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers．

　　In some countries, laws(法規(guī))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(升級)．

　　Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all．Hundreds of organizations(組織)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(慈善團(tuán)體)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．
