His parents had explained to him how important it was to go to bed early and get a good rest. But Andy paid no attention to them, and they didnt know what to do until one weekend when they were visiting Andys grandparents. Grandpa Peter heard all about it and said, This sounds like a job for Tubby. They loaded the cat onto the car and returned home. That night, at bedtime, the same problem arose. Andy didnt want to go to bed, and even though his parents waited a while to see if Tubby would solve the problem, nothing happened. Andys father began to complain. Hours later, Andy finally decided to go to bed. But what a surprise when he entered his bedroom! Tubby was in his bed, pot-belly in the air, sound asleep. Andy tried to move the cat, but there was no way. That night he hardly slept, lying on one tiny corner of his bed. The next day the same thing happened, even though Andy was much more tired from not having slept. When the third day arrived, he had understood that if he wanted to sleep in his bed, he would have to get into it before Tubby did.

B Nowadays many people are concerned about the problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans produce is not unexpected.The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills (垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says, “There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components（组成部分） there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill. ”Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e-waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.This year several states like Vermont imposed(强加) a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.“We can do much better,” noted Miller. “I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.”25.
