People cry when they feel very sad. They cry when something terrible happens, like a death in the
family. They cry when they feel very sad or very angry, they cry when they know they cannot do
anything about a problom, and they feel helpless.
They also cry when they feel very good. They cry when they have been very worried about
something but find out everything is all right. They cry when something wonderful happens.
In the United States until lately, men were not supposed to cry. Crying was weak and only for
women. Men were supposed to be strong. But things are changing. Men are beginning to realize that
it is all right to show their feelings. Women are learning that sometimes they can do something about a
problem instead of just crying. They try not to cry in a public place or in front of a frightened child.
Chemists have been studying why people cry. They say the body produces two kinds of tears. One
kind cleans out the eye if it gets dirt in it. But when people cry because of their feelings, these tears have
poison chemicals in them. The body is getting rid of chemicals produced by strong feeling.
In the United States men have heart disease more often than women do. Doctors say heart disease
and some other are connected with the pressures of living and working in a modern society. Perhaps
men suffer mor.e from these disease because they do not cry enough. And it is possible that as more
and more women work outside the home, they will also suffer from more pressures. Then everyone will
need to cry more.

However, eating out can also be expensive, so British people do not eat out every night. When having a date with friends, or having a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant, and people often also eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theater.
As in all cultures, there are many rules of manners about eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way. It is also impolite to speak with your mouth full then you are eating.
Most British cities have a large collection of food as well as British food, from the very cheap to the very expensive－ French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese and many, many more.
When people are too tired to cook after work, they often get a “takeaway”. This means that they order from a take－out restaurant by telephone, and then go to get it. Many take-out restaurants also send it to your house. All you have to do is to open the door, pay and eat!

Saving water is an important part of going green.
As water becomes less and polluted more, conservation (保护) becomes more and more important. The less water you
use, the less 
wastewater will end up in our rivers and
lakes. Wasting water means that more water needs to be treated and cleaned, a
process that requires quite a lot of energy.
As it is said above, cutting down on water usage is one of the most important things you can do for your local environment and the planet as a whole. That is why more green households are going blue: cutting down their water footprint by conserving and harvesting (收获) water.
It may seem like a big concept, but going blue starts with small changes that everyone can make. Something as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl rather than under a tap to save even more. Make sure that the taps are fully turned off every time you step away from the sink or the shower — all those little drips can add up to a lot of water waste.
Another way of reducing your water footprint is reducing your dependence on the main water supply. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs. Many of us already practice rainwater harvesting in a small way. Collecting water from your gutters (檐沟) is a great way to keep your garden green without running the sprinkler (洒水器).

A. 未成熟的 B. 环保 C.嫉妒 D. 健康的

A. washing fruit and vegetables under a tap
B. using a bowl to wash your fruit and vegetables
C. making sure taps are fully turned off all the time
D. turning off the tap every time after brushing your teeth
4.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. Save Water by Turning off the Tap
B. How to Treat and Clean Wastewater
C. Keep Your Garden Green with Rainwater
D. Save Water Starting with Small Changes
