Ⅴ. 阅读下面的非连续性文本，根据语篇内容，回答问题。
Mobile phones help us keep in touch with each other. Fridges keep food cool and fresh. Televisions make our lives fun. But all these things can get older as time goes by and then become e-waste. In fact, e-waste doesn’t only come from these things but also
from other products.
What is e-waste?
It includes all things with batteries (电池) or wires (电线).
E-waste is bad for the earth.
In 2022, the world produced around 53 million tons of e-waste. This is even heavier than all adults in Europe. However, as it is shown in Chart Ⅰ, not all e-waste is well collected.
According to Chart Ⅱ, the problem of e-waste is becoming much more serious. The world’s e-waste will reach around 74 million tons by 2030.

E-waste leads to not only great harm to the environment but also a waste of valuable resources (资源). In fact, e-waste includes valuable resources, such as gold and silver. Besides, one smartphone battery can pollute 600,000 liters (升) of water.
How can we deal with e-waste?
◆Recycling
You can give it to a recycling centre in your community or some recycling companies. You can also repair your electronics instead of buying new ones.
◆
You can sell it in a second-hand market. Some people prefer to use old products that are at good prices. At the same time, you can get money from these old things.
◆Donating (捐献)
You can donate it to someone in need or those who can’t afford new products.
The Earth is the home of all humanity, and each of us should do our part to protect it.
