5、s “How do you do?” and a firm hand shake, but with a lighter touch between men and women.

6、for the British to exchange gifts between family members and close friends.

11、rise.BWhen it comes to giving help to developing countries, we often think about donating money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However,

12、the traditional way is far from enough. We need better ideas to help them.Recently, I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which can run without electricity. He decided to invent this

13、 computer after he visited a school in Cambodia.The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in the shops.

These computers might not help the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving childrens education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problem

16、s in the long term. Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste created by throwing away these old phones is

17、very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time.

Now solutions are being found to give this stuff a new life.Many millions of tons of televisions, phones, and other

22、 electronic equipment are discarded each year, partly because its cheaper to replace them than fix them, but also because we lack the skills to repair them.

23、owing waste stream in the world.However, theres a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk.
