Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H2O 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 water, says Melissa Peffers, the air-quality program 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’s 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.” suggest that people _______.
A. shouldn’t feel pleased with finishing the water in the bottle.
B. shouldn’t feel good about drinking an expensive brand H2O.
C. shouldn’t be pleased 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. morel likely to be polluted
C. healthier than bottle water D. less convenient than bottled water
3.The underlined part “going bottle free” (in Para. 4) means “_______”.
A. making bottled water free
B. giving up bottled water
C. recycling use 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.

I was walking along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to get in touch with the Automobile Association .Low gray clouds were drifting across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea. It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.
There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead.
Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the town's only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint, I hurried forward but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat and rubber boots. I could not see his face - he was bending forward over the phone with his back pressed against the glass and didn't even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer. Carefully and surprisedly, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.
1.The author was walking through the small seaside town__________.
A.late morning | B.early morning |
C.before midnight | D.late evening |
2.The weather of the day was ____, when the story happened.
A.windy, cold and cloudy | B.stormy, damp and clear |
C.rainy, cold and clear | D.rainy, windy and cold |

A.the man inside was still wearing a raincoat |
B.he didn't expect it to be taken up |
C.the man had his back with him |
D.the man did not seem to be moving |
4.The author waited, standing a few feet away from the box because____.
A.it was not safe to be close to the box |
B.the man didn't notice his coming |
C.he wanted to have a cigarette to calm himself down |
D.it was bad manners to overhear other's phone calls |
5. What do you suppose happened to the man in the call box?
