2、nd words of love and encouragement when I needed to hear them. When she died five years ago，I was devastated. The whole family was still in shock when her husband, Uncle Ronnie, died a week later. I longed to have a small item of Aunt Karens to remember her by, but seeing her children and grandchild
3、ren overcome by the grief of this double loss made me shy away from asking. A few months after Aunt Karens death, I was on my way to work when I saw Rescued Treasures, a local second-hand store. I only had a couple of dollars on me and didnt really intend to buy anything, but I stopped anyway just t
4、o look inside. I had been shopping around for a few minutes when a small, black handbag caught my eye. It wasnt fancy or special.

5、st one dollar. The handbag stayed in the back of my car for weeks until I came upon it during a car clean-up. I opened it up. I couldnt believe it. They hadnt even cleaned it out. It was still full of junk, old candy wrappers, old receipts (收据) and used paper. Usually the store emptied things inside
6、, so there wouldnt be any surprises for a new owner. I threw away some wastes, and sorted through the receipts, when I found one item in the small inside pocket.

The Basel Action Network, a Seattle-based non-profi
10、t that largely exposed the overseas discarding (丢弃) of US electronic waste, on Thursday launched a programme to use third-party employees to certify (证实) recyclers who dont export dangerous electronic waste. The so-called e-Steward recyclers will also agree not to discard the waste in US landfills a
11、nd agree to meet other criteria. The certification is intended to provide companies and consumers with some assurance that the waste, which can include toxins (毒素) such as lead and mercury, is disposed of safely. The Government Accountability Office, in a 2008 report, declared that US electronic was
12、te was often disposed of unsafely in such countries as India. There, workers recycle gold, silver and copper from the waste, often in open-air acid baths.

31、ead. You love to write. You love birds, music, tattoos Your mom, your brother, your sister, your daughter, your best friend，your dog.
