In_today's_newspaper,_an_accident_was_reported. Someone was badly hurt by a bottle thrown out of a window of a building. Actually, if we look around, we will find that things of this kind are not uncommon.Cigarette ends, cans, plastic bags and bottles can be seen here and there.
Needless to say, such behavior will ruin our environment and become a bad habit if we do nothing. In my opinion, every one of us should first of all make sure that we don't throw rubbish around ourselves.What is more, we should persuade others not to do so.And finally, rules should be made to stop such behavior.Only in this way can we create a better environment and live more happily.

(2017·东北质检)It's a familiar feeling. Your friend has made the team for Saturday's big game, and you take certain pleasure in telling him you can't be there to watch him play. You smile, but that voice in you asks, why him and not you?
Envy is a fault that we like to keep secret. It raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but don't possess now, or we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone losing it. Feelings of unfairness are part of being human, but when you focus on them, you can never get out of your dark emotions. And that makes you feel bad.
So is there a solution? Is there anything you can do to stop the most ungenerous emotions?
Well, why not turn envy on its head, and make it the encouragement you need for self­improvement? The best weapon against envy is not to compete where you can't shine, but to do your absolute best where you can.
Start by making peace with yourself, and accept the gifts which make you unique. Make an agreement with yourself to be the best you can be. Then find out exactly the circumstances and qualities in others that start your envy. Is it someone's singing voice, their work promotion, or their new car? Envy shows us the things we'd
like to have, so make a plan to earn what's important to you. Sign up for a night class. Start a training program. Give up a treat or two, and start saving for what you want.
And aim for real pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others. Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal. Enjoy your best friend's wedding day. Then go out and do something special, and make you wonderfully proud of yourself.

二、七选五
Public Speaking Training
•Get a coach
__8__， so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
•Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. __9__， so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.
•__10__
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away ! Your brain is so full of what you're going
to be talking about. __11__. As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
•You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. __12__. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A. You aren't like anybody else
B. You already do lots of things well
C. Turn your back on too many rules
D. Check the rules about dos and don'ts
E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
F. The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep
G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse 答案：
语篇解读 该文论述了进行公开演讲的训练要点。

8．E 从七个选项中可以看出，大部分选项都是讲的细节性提示，只有E 项是讲公共演讲是项艰难的任务，可以用来引起下文的话题。

9．B 把前一句中的doing well ，以及第一句中的what you already do well 作为依据，结合剩余选项中的内容，可以推测，只有B 项符合空格处缺失的文意，表示一种心理暗示：我已经在很多事情上做得很好了，符合该段小标题中positive 一词的含意。

10．C 本段下第一句说到，如果你发现一次公共演讲就像是给你规定了一堆该做的事和不该做的事，那么赶紧离开吧。

由此可以推测，该段是暗示读者不要被这些规则束缚。

故C 项正确。

11．G 结合上一题解析，剩余选项中只有G 项和D 项与规则一词相关，而D 项说法显然与本段文意相悖，所以G 项正确。

12．A 本段小标题说到，你是一个特别的人。

剩余选项中只有A 项能与之对应。
