Most parents don’t think their children feel lonely．If parents attentively listen to kids talking about their feelings, they may be surprised to learn just how many kids feel lonely．

　　A seven-year-old girl, Christa, who when asked to draw a picture of disappointment, gives an image of a friend throwing snow in her face and says that, “True friends don’t do that．I’m going to find a new true friend．” The story shows a major cause of a childhood sense of loneliness－h(huán)ope for friendship．

　　Children also feel lonely, and even disappointed at home．Kids may complain that, “Dad is frustrated and Mom yells a lot,” or, “My dad is on the computer all the time．Dad works too much．” The kids feel lonely in this environment of parents’ stress．

　　If a child does something wrong because of loneliness, punishment will make her more lonely．She needs to understand why her parents couldn’t give her enough attention at that particular moment and that she wasn’t the cause of their bad feelings．So parents had better not punish children who are feeling lonely and disappointed, but try to help their children and also themselves be relaxed and comfortable．

　　Truly, all parents need to pay more attention to how their actions impact their friends, daughter and sisters, but the most powerful way lies in giving children like Christa the tools to feel good about herself and know that she is worthy of true friends, caring parents, and loving sisters．In your children’s lives they will not be able to control others, but they can control how they feel about themselves．Self-confidence will bring “true friends” on the present-day playground and for the rest of their lives, which is a gift that will make kids’ biggest dreams come true．

What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers?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.　　

Some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.　　

In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to collect and recycle 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, 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 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.　　

1. How do people usually deal with their old computers?　　

A. They stop using them. B. They give them to others.   C. They fix them up.　　

2. What do some computer companies do to bring down the number of old computers?

C. They donate them to some charities.　　

3.According to some countries’ laws, what must computer companies do?　　

A. Collect and recycle most of computer waste. 　　

B. Repair and upgrade old computers.
