Rules tell you what you are allowed and not allowed to do. Generally speaking, there are four kinds. The first one is the instructions that one person has to follow in the given order. The instructions can lead him to a certain goal. The second one is the orders that have been passed down from one generation (代) to others. The third one teaches people how to behave well so that they can meet good results. The fourth one is the plans that are used in a certain way to increase the chance of reaching a special goal.
Rules play an important role in our society. They help build a harmonious (和谐的) relationship. If every person was allowed to do as they wanted, we would probably meet killing, stealing and something terrible like these. The rules can surely prevent such things happening. Rules can also help keep people safe. For example, we all know that if there were no traffic rules, there would be more accidents. What’s more, rules can help build a more serious environment. It is a rule that students should wear uniforms in almost all schools. But what would happen if there was no such rule? Students would care more about what they look like!
However, rules need to be used correctly. One should offer learning experience so that people are glad to accept rules. Also one should offer people rules in a simple and clear way. After that, one should tell them the possible results if the rules are not followed.
In a word, following rules is a useful way to bring you happiness, or at least, a peaceful life. However, it is important to choose the proper ones.

China has been practicing the rule that asks people to use their real names when registering(注册) for Internet service. The rules also ask Internet companies operating in China to remove the untrue information which the web users ever gave.
Chinese lawmakers passed the rule on December 28th,2012, at the end of a five-day meeting of the Standing Committee of the NPC.
The new rules say network service providers must well check up the information given by users. The providers have been ordered to stop the spread of illegal （违法的）information, and take steps to deal with the problem. The Xinhua News says those steps include removing the information from the Internet and then reporting it to the government.
Chinese officials say the rules are aimed at protecting the personal information of Internet users and stopping false information such as junk e-mail. However, some people say such new real-name rules will make people less likely to report illegal actions for fear of possible action against them.
Duncan Clark is an adviser to Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. He lives in Beijing. He says, “For a long time we’ve seen the Internet being used to report illegal action, but the new rules seem to stop those reports.”
But the good news is through real-name registration the Internet crime among teenagers will be controlled.

Many parents like setting family rules for their kids. When kids break the rules, parents will give them punishments, which aren't included in rules. In fact, when you tell your kids about a new rule, you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule—what the punishment will be.
The punishment you set should be reasonable, without violence or threat(威胁). For example, if you find your son smoking, you may limit his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before the rule is broken. A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids' TV time.
It's understandable that you'll be angry when rules are broken. Punishment is a way to express your anger, but it's not a very good one. Sharing your feelings of anger, disappointment or sadness with your kids can have a better effect on them. Try to do that. When your kids know what they have done has made you

【推荐1】Museums, live music and malls — Chinese cities offer everything that a young person might want. But there are many young people who don't have time to enjoy these things. They follow what is called the "996" work schedule — starting work at 9 am and finishing at 9 pm, six days a week.
The “996” work schedule recently became a heated topic online after a computer programmer set up a website called "996. ICU". According to the website, working a "996” schedule is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in an ICU. This work schedule is common in Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei. Most "996" workers do not receive overtime pay.
Many tech industry workers have complained about this schedule. "I worked '996' for nine months," a former software developer surnamed Zhang told Quartz. "I couldn't sleep due to the pressure. So, I quit."
However, the bosses of some tech companies have defended(辩护) "996". Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it's “a huge treasure” for young workers to work "996”.
"If you don't invest(投资) more time and energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want? If you don't do '996' when you're young, when will you?" he said.
Many have questioned Ma's words. In an article in People's Daily, one writer said, "Valuing hard work does not justify(合理化) forcing employees(雇员) to work overtime."
Cui Zhendong, a lawyer, told China Daily that it is illegal(违法的) to use a compulsory (强制的) "996" work schedule. China's Labor Law clearly states that employees should work no more than eight hours a day or no more than 44 hours a week.

【推荐3】Taking your dog for a walk can be fun to do. But (C) it can also be a danger to others. According to the World Health Organization(WHO), (A)over 10 million people in China are bitten by dogs every year.
People in Beijing and Shanghai are already asked to keep their dogs on a leash(绳子). A similar law will soon be carried out across the country. It is listed in the newly amended (修订的) Animal Quarantine Law(《动物防疫法》). The law will come into effect(生效) on May 1.
The law focuses on the prevention of rabies(狂犬病). The rabies virus is mainly carried by dogs. The law makes it clear that anyone who keeps dogs must regularly(定期) vaccinate(给……接种疫苗) them. Those who walk their dogs outdoors must keep their dogs on a leash to prevent them from hurting people or spreading disease. Those who don’t follow the law will face a fine(罚款). (B)In the past, it was up to dog owners whether to get their dogs vaccinated or not. This meant that if someone was bitten by a dog, they would have to go to a hospital and get treated and vaccinated immediately.
Gao Fu, head of China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said it makes more sense to vaccinate dogs than humans.
Many other diseases can also spread between animals and humans. According to experts, 70 percent of animal diseases can be passed on to humans. And 75 percent of all new infectious human diseases come from animals, China Daily reported.

【推荐1】Do you know how many bones (骨头) are there in your body? If you count the bones from the skull at the top of your body to the bones in your toes, you will find that you have 206 bones. They help you do a lot of things.
Bones protect and support your body. Your skull protects your brain. You have 12 pairs of ribs around the middle of your body to protect your heart, lungs and other organs. The many bones in your feet allow you to walk. Hip bones and leg bones let you stand up!
Bones also help you hear sounds. This is the job of the smallest bone in your ear. It is called the stirrup bone. When sound waves come into your ear, the stirrup shakes back and forth, allowing the sound waves to reach your brain. When the waves reach your brain, you hear the sound.
There are many different shapes and sizes of bones in your body. The femur in your thigh is a long straight bone. If you touch your knee, you can feel your patella. It is a little flat circular bone that looks like a coin. Inside some of the bones is a soft material called the bone marrow. Blood cells are made here. Blood cells are needed for healthy blood.
The bones make up your body, help you grow and allow you to move. If you have no bones, you will look like a blob.
So when you walk, run, jump or chew, think of your bones and say, “Thank you!”

What happens to your computers when they’re broken or outdated? Often, they end up being thrown away and become e-waste (电子垃圾). With about 5 million tons of e-waste produced each year, China is now the world’s largest producer of e-waste, followed by the US, India and Japan.
E-waste has become the most rapidly growing waste problem in the world. According to the 2020 UN Global E-waste Monitor, the world’s e-waste will reach 74.7 million tons by 2030, but only a small part of the e-waste can be collected and recycled. This means that gold, silver, copper and other high-value materials were mostly burned or left as rubbish instead of being reused. E-waste can also harm the environment and people’s health. For example, one mobile phone battery (电池) can pollute 600,000 liters of water.
Many technology companies have tried to solve the problem of e-waste. For example, US company Apple has made a robot called Daisy, which is able to take apart 200 more iPhones an hour, so that more valuable materials can be picked out and be reused. Samsung plans to use recycled materials in all of its new products by the year 2025. It also plans to reduce e-waste by improving product life cycles. China’s tech company Xiaomi is also setting up e-waste recycling platforms so that people can give away or sell their old electronics more easily.

2. Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
3. How many million tons of e-waste were collected and recycled in 2019?
