The answer very much depends on how sensitive you are to advertisingMany British people certainly areBottled water is a ?2 billion business annually in the UK, and brands throughout the world compete for precious shelf spaceSo why do we buy it? A study found that people tend to believe that bottled water is some- how healthier, but dont know whyPerhaps its because it costs moreBottled water costs around 500 times more than tap waterManufacturers would have you believe that bottled water is naturally cleaner and tastier than tap water, but many in fact get from the same place that tap water comes fromIndeed, there is nothing natural about the way much bottled water is manufacturedApart from the oil used to make the plastic bottles, the water has a much higher carbon footprint per liter than tap waterProducing and transporting bottled water results in hundreds of times more CO2 emission （排放） per liter, and thats before considering the influence the plastic bottles have on the environment-only around a quarter are recycledSo its not green to drink bottled water, but what about your health? Isnt tap water full of bad stuff ? If you live in a country where water standards are poor, then you have cause for concernBut if you live in Britain, you can be confident that tap water has been filtered and tested, and is perfectly safe to drink, in fact, one of the safest in the worldBut does bottled water really taste better? Tap water can taste different in different regions It may contain different amounts of minerals, which can affect its flavorIf the taste bothers you, the solution is to pour tap water into a bottle and put it in the fridge, or even buy a water filterThis ought to make it palatable(怡人的）64According to the text, compared to tap water, bottled water _Ais much healthier Bcontains more mineralsCis not environmentally friendly Dis produced in a more natural way65What is the authors attitude towards using bottled water?ANegative BPositive CNeutral DWorried66How is the text mainly developed?ABy listing examples BBy giving explanationsCBy telling experiences DBy making comparisonsDThe other day I received a most unexpected message in response to one of my essays: I am so proud of you and all you have accomplishedI shared your opinionIt was signed by Margaret Leibfried, who was my English teacher ?a teacher who appeared at vital point in my life and helped me believe that I could become a writerThirty years ago, I entered high school as an introvert （性格内向的人） and I was the school s only nonwhite studentSo I always felt in danger of being swept away by a sea of tall white athletesI spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories, hoping to escape being teasedMs Leibfried taught American literature and composition grammar, which involved the usual memorizing vocabulary, but also, thrillingly, reading novelsThrilling to me, that isMany of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were not realFor once, I didnt care what they thoughtMs Leibfried seemed to notice my interest in both reading and writing; she even offered me read
