Jealousy is a very common problem in daily life. It’s everywhere. For example, if someone does better than you, you will get annoyed because you want to be No. 1. We may become jealous of a best friend’s top marks in an exam, or of the girl in art class who is praised by the teacher all the time. We get annoyed because these good things are happening to someone else but not to us.
It’s bad to feel jealous. We should be pleased with the things we have. But we still wish we had the money of this person and the talent of that person. Instead of sharing their happiness, we just feel jealous and unhappy with ourselves. And, too often, these feelings are expressed by speaking ill of the people we envy.
However, envy is also a kind of compliment to others. We see that other people have styles and talents different from our own. By comparing ourselves with others, we can know what we lack. And we can turn this comparison, the envy of others, into a kind of power.
Therefore, being a bit jealous of others lets us know what we are like and what we want to be like. It can push us to become what we really want to be.

【小题1】According to the first paragraph, why do you get annoyed?

When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat．But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you．

●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up．If the person who answers is not the one you want，give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want．

●Think about the time you call people．Try not to call too early in the morning（before about 9:00）or too late at night（after about 9:30）．Also try not to call at mealtimes．

●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions．Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival．

●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone．It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop．Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call．Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite．

●When in a restaurant with your friends，keep phone conversations short．Make a call only if it is important．Practise speaking in a low voice．If no one looks your way, you’ve_got_it．

●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you．Check that your phone is “off” before you enter．If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”（振动）and run for the exit as soon as you feel it．If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away．
