　　People sent letters on horses in the old days．And now people have many ways to send letters．E-mail is one good way．

　　Sending an e-mail is very different from sending paper letters．An e-mail doesn’t need any paper or envelopes(信封)．We can“write”by tapping(擊打)the keyboard on the computer．Sending an e-mail is also very quick．It takes only a few minutes to get to any place in the world．You can send a letter, a picture or even videos by e-mail．But you can never send a paper letter or a postcard by it．

　　People all over the world can easily make friends with each other by e-mail．

　　"Do you like my dress?" she asked a stranger．"My mum made it just for me," she said with tears in her eyes．

　　"Well, I think it's very pretty, so tell me, little girl, why are you crying?"

　　The little girl answered in a low voice, "After mum made me this dress, she went away．My dad says that she's up in heaven(天堂)now with Grandfather．"

　　Finally the woman realized why she was crying．She felt very sorry for the little girl and gently held the child in her arms．

　　Then suddenly the little girl did something a bit strange．She stopped crying, walked back from the woman and began to sing．She sang softly．It was the sweetest sound the woman had ever heard, almost like the song of a very small bird．

　　After the child stopped singing, she said to the lady, "My mum often sang that song to me before she went away, and she asked me to sing it whenever I started crying and it would make me stop．"

　　"See," she said loudly, "it did, and now my eyes are dry!"

　　Just before the lady wanted to go, the girl showed her a spot(印跡)on her dress, and said, "Right here is where my mum kissed(吻)my dress, and here," pointing to another spot, "and here is another kiss, and here, and here．Mum said that she put all those kisses on my dress so that I would forget my sadness．"

　　Then the lady realized that she wasn't just looking at a dress, no, she was looking at a mother．The mother knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away her daughter's hurts any longer．

　　So the mother gave all her love to her beautiful daughter and put it into this dress．Now her child was wearing it so proudly．

　　The lady no longer saw a little girl wearing a simple dress．She saw a child wrapped(包)in her mother's love．

　　Mrs．Smith often felt lonely when her husband went to work．The room was small and she always spent only half an hour tidying it．She couldn't get up early in the morning, so Mr．Smith had to cook breakfast himself．She usually had some bread and milk for lunch and only cooked supper for herself and her husband．They had no television．Mr．Smith always went to bed at nine．

　　It was a winter morning．The sun was shining and it was warmer outside than it in the room．The woman sat on the step of a shop, looking at the busy traffic．At that moment a man with a map in his hand was coming towards her．

　　“Excuse me, madam,”said the man．“Could you tell me how to get to the nearest hospital, please?”Mrs．Smith looked at him up and down．“He seems a farmer,”the woman said to herself．“Let me laugh at him．”

　　Then she turned to him said．“Lie down in the middle of the street and you'll soon be sent to a hospital．”“Please set an example(示范)to me, then,”said the man．

　　She had to tell the way to him and then she said,“I think you've been in a city for the first time．It's much more beautiful than the field．Is that right?”

　　“Yes, madam,”said the farmer with a smile．“But I think it is built on the field!”

　　Many new problems have appeared in our modern life．One of the biggest of every country is pollution．In America, there are laws to keep the air and water pure and clean．These are new laws and it has taken much time to clean a polluted river or lake．Now the fish are healthy again and people can enjoy swimming in clean water．When food is brought from the grocery store(雜貨店)to the home, it is packaged in paper, glass tin, or plastic．Every day a newspaper comes to the home．Americans used to put all these materials in the garbage bag which is packed up by a large truck．The truck takes these materials to a garbage(垃圾)dump(堆)or land fill．The truck dumps the garbage into a large hole and land is pushed over the garbage　until the hole is filled．Then, a new hole must be found．

　　As the years go by, the garbage increases as the pollution grows．Scientists suggested that some garbage could be used again．They suggested four ideas to businessmen who could make money by recycling or using paper, glass, tin, and plastic again．

　　Now, a recycling truck comes to each home once a week to pick up the materials．American families collect their newspapers in a box and clean all glass, tin, and plastic．The truck takes them to a factory for recycling．The newspaper is ground up into very small pieces and made green, brown, and clear mostly．The glass is crushed(搗，碾)and made into new glass．The tin is cleaned and melted so it can be made into new tin cans．The plastic is melted down so it can be used to make new container．

　　Recycling is a way to save the environment from pollution by using many materials again．

　　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(jí))．

　　Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, other 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．
