It was heard in Beijing,4.        is one hundred kilometres away. One-third of the nation felt it.

 Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H20 as well as remembering to throw the empty bottle in the recycling bin,makes you feel pretty good about yourself,right? It shouldn’t. Even when the bottles are recycled,there are all kinds of other consequences of swallowing bottled waterways Melissa Peffers,the air-quality programme manager for Environmental Defense.

  The containers are often filled in faraway lands,then shipped from abroad,and stored in refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap,filling a glass,and drinking up!

  Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided,says Peffers.   “Most bottled water is just tap water. ”And what comes out of your tap is carefully monitored to follow the strict rules. Consider another fact that bottled water is surprisingly expensive,especially when compared with the alternative,which is almost free,and it is astonishing that America’s desire for bottled water seems impossible to satisfy,reaching nearly 30 billion bottles a year.

  “My parents’ generation never had bottled water”’says Isabelle Silverman,an Environmental Defense legal adviser. She has made a commitment to going bottle free.   “You don’t need to fetch it home from the store,and it’s cheaper,” she adds.

Bottled water’s role as a status symbol needs to change,Peffers points out. So when a waiter at an expensive restaurant offers“And what’s your drink?”that,no reason to forget your conviction (信念) .“Don’t be afraid to say, ‘I’ll have tap. ’ Say it loud enough that the other tables nearby can hear you”’Peffers says. “And then spend that money on a dessert. ”

(   ) 1. In the first paragraph,the underlined sentence “It shouldn’t, ”suggests that people     .

   A. shouldn’t feel pleased with finishing the water in the bottle

   B. shouldn’t feel good about drinking an expensive brand H20

   C. shouldn’t be content with just recycling empty bottles

   D. shouldn’t be satisfied with drinking only bottled water

(   ) 2. According to the author,tap water is     .

   A. as safe as bottled water

   B. more likely to be polluted

   C. healthier than bottled water

   D. less convenient than bottled water

(   ) 3. The underlined part “going bottle free”(in Para. 4)means “        

   A. making bottled water free

   B. abandoning bottled water

   C. recycling used water bottles

   D. providing free water containers

(   ) 4. Why does Peffers ask people to say “I’ll have tap. ”

loudly?

   A. To encourage them to set an example for others to follow.

   B. To advise them to save the money for one more dessert.

   C. To remind them to be aware of their social status.

   D. To persuade them to speak confidently in public.

  Even if you are naturally shy,these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.

  1. Take pictures 

  One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves,and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say ,“If you’d like I can email it to you. ” This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.

  2. Eat alone in public You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit ： you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious) . Plus,having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.

  3. Join a class,sports team,or club 

  Yoga,salsa dancing,volleyball,Toastmasters (a public speaking club) ，a class for work,etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!

  These are all great places to meet new people,primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and o-ver again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.

Tips：

* In the beginning,never turn down an invitation from someone,even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.

* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend) .

* Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don’t want to be around someone like that!

   A. Taking pictures of others

   B. Eating by yourself in public

   C. Reading interesting books

   D. Joining group activities

   A. approach others to show conscious friendliness

   B. start a conversation with those who have friends aside

   C. invite others to your apartment to eat together

   D. sit on your own in public places

   A. why you should change when you move to a new city
