"Indeed，" George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785， "some kind of fly， or bug， had begun to eat the leaves before I left home．" But the father of America was not the father of bug． When Washington wrote that， Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century， and Americans had already created lightning-bug（萤火虫）． But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language， leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries．
The American bug could also be a person， referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity． Although fan became the usual term， sports fans used to be called racing bugs， baseball bugs， and the like．
Or the bug could be a small machine or object， for example， a bug-shaped car． The bug could also be a burglar alarm， from which comes the expression to bug， that is， "to install （安装） an alarm"． Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others' conversation． Since the 1840s， to bug has long meant "to cheat"， and since the 1940s it has been annoying．
We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design． That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison． In 1878 he explained bugs as "little problems and difficulties" that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product． In 1889 it was recorded that Edison "had been up the two previous nights discovering ‘a bug' in his invented record player．"

New Lives for Old Phones
When a new mobile phone starts to be sold in stores, many people rush out to buy one. We all want the newest, latest thing.1.
Mike Townsend works at Total Recall, a mobile phone recycling company. "Don't throw your old phone away. 2.If you throw it away, it goes with other rubbish to become landfill. In other words, it is put in a big hole in the ground-and it becomes a big problem," he says.
Mobile phones contain some poisonous materials. If your phone goes to a landfill, these poisonous materials can get out and get into the water under the ground. That's the water we need to drink or water goes into rivers or the ocean. 3. That's a lot of landfill and a lot of poisonous materials.
"At Total Recall, we separate the old phones into pieces. Most of the materials in the mobile phones can be recycled and used again.4. For example, phone batteries contain nickel and cadmium. The nickel is used to make steel, and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries," explains Mike.
"5.You can usually just take it into a mobile phone shop and they will send it to us," says Mike.
So before you throw that old mobile phone away, use it one last time: search for a recycler near you and give them a call.
A. Send it to us and we'll recycle it.
B. Recycling your old phone is easy.
C. How much is your old mobile phone worth?
D. But what should we do with our old mobile phones?
E. Millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year.
F. We take apart the old phones and they are used to make new products.
G. Recycling materials helps keep the environment greener and cleaner.
Who's in control of your life? Who's pulling your strings? For the majority of us, it's other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young,of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it," Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. "
So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug-we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(成瘾物)we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.
But, just as with any drug. there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom-the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted (tired) and probably pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control? I think there's only one way-make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values- not values imposed from the outside by others. but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others. we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.
