• 11．THE GROWING PROBLEM OF E-WASTE The term e-waste is short for "electronic waste".It refers to electrical or electronic products that are thrown away when they are no longer needed.These include computers，televisions，ovens，and basically anything else that runs on batteries or has an electrical cord.
      E-waste has been a problem since the 1970s because of how difficult it is to separate things like metal and plastic from various products.Also，many electronics contain toxic materials that can pollute the environment if left in landfills.Over the past few decades，the problem of e-waste has only increased along with advancements in technology.
      E-waste is now the fastest-growing waste stream around the world.The total amount of e-waste created every year is expected to reach 74 million tons by the year 2030.Currently，it's estimated that only about 17 percent of global e-waste is properly recycled.However，the United Nations hopes to bring that number up to 30 percent by the end of 2023.
      With more people using smartphones and computers every year，the problem of e-waste cannot be ignored.To increase the recycling rate of e-waste items，cities should consider adding special collection boxes at grocery stores or government offices.There should also be delivery or pick-up services for e-waste items.That way，these items can be sent directly to people who are able to properly take them apart and recover their useful components.
      Despite current difficulties，e-waste has great recycling potential.In addition to the items thrown away，lots of people keep old devices that aren't used anymore.As a whole，they add up to a lot of metals and minerals that can，and should，be recycled.If these components are recycled to make new products，there would be less of a need to dig for more around the world.
      So，if you must replace your phone or computer，try returning the device to the manufacturer or dropping it off at an e-waste processing facility if there is one nearby.
  
  （1）What does"electronic waste"refer to？

  
  （2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？

  
  （3）Decide which part of the following statement is wrong.Underline it and explain why.

  
  In order to reduce e-waste，people had better keep old devices that aren't used anymore or drop them off in special collection boxes.

  
  （4）Apart from the ways mentioned in the passage，please share your way（s） to reduce e-waste. （About 40 words）
