【推荐2】With the development of science and technology, more and more electronics（电子产品）appear in our life and they develop rapidly. Some of them are not fully used and then they are out of fashion or because of other reasons, these electronics have to lie quietly at the corner. How to reuse them is more and more important for us all.

One goal of the 32nd Summer Olympics was to avoid using too many natural resources（资源）, so Japan made 5, 000 medals（奖牌）out of the reused electronics for the Tokyo Olympics. That sounds quite amazing, doesn’t it?

You might not know that almost all electronics are made of small number of valuable metal like gold and silver. However, collecting enough of the metal to make 5, 000 medals was a huge challenge, for the metal in each device（设备）is tiny. It would take about 20, 000 cell phones to get just 1 kilogram of gold.

Beginning in April 2017, organizers placed collection boxes around the country and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices for the Olympic medals. Soon smartphones, cameras, and computers began to appear in the boxes. The Japanese mobile phone company NTT DoCoMo collected around 6 million used cell phones.

Then came the job of breaking those phones down into smaller pieces. This job is not that easy. Some metals inside aren’t safe for people to touch or breathe. Once they are broken down, the metals have to be carefully moved apart.

On July 24, 2019, people were first able to see what the recycled medals would look like.

A．To save money.	B．To make special medals.

2. How many cell phones are needed if they want to get 5 kilograms of gold?

A．10, 000.

B．20, 000.

C．50, 000.

D．100, 000.

3. Which can be best describe the job in the 5th paragraph?

A．Easy but dangerous.	B．Difficult and dangerous.
C．Interesting and relaxing.	D．Safe but challenging.

4. What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．How to make Olympic medals.	B．How to deal with old electronics.
C．Valuable metals in electronic devices.	D．Olympic medals made from reused electronics.
