   What do people do with their old, perfectly useable but outdated computers? Most people don't know what to do with them. Many old computers end up gathering dust in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the trash.
   Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to reduce the amount of computer junk. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and others now also take back some equipment.
   Laws are being passed, too. In Europe, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70 per cent 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 design equipment that is easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade.
   Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. These groups collect and repair old computers. Some also teach computer repair skills.
   The computers then go to schools, charities (慈善团体) and needy individuals. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person's trash into someone else's treasure (财富) - and cut down on waste, too.
   True or False?
   56. Nobody knows what to do with their old computer.
   57. Dell is one of the companies which are thinking of ways to reduce the amount of computer junk.
   58. It is not easy or cheap to repair and upgrade the computer equipment now.
   59. Selling a used computer to charities is one way to cut down on waste suggested in the story.
   60. The story talks about ways to deal with used computers.
