隨著社會的發展進步和人類自身環保意識的覺醒，越來越多的人意識到環境保護的重要性，并立志做一名合格的環保衛士。但是在環保這條路上，并不是一帆風順，會遇見很多的困難。讓我一起來看看下面文章的作者在“保護環境，拯救世界”這條路上經歷的開心和不開心的事吧！

I spent the first 20 years of my life terrified at what other people thought about me.I tried to minimize my natural laziness as much as possible，especially when it came to my closet（最隱秘的）idea:saving the world.

It started when I was 13 and my favorite teen magazine arrived in the mail with a “Save the Earth，Girl!”cover.I remember it so clearly!It was fille with all sorts of easy tips to go green.Among many o the simple facts I learned that day，turning off th water while you brush your teeth saves 200 gallon（加 侖 ）of water every year—per person! Let's jus say I started doing that right away.I mean，it is kin of a big deal considering Earth doesn't have an un-

limited amount of fresh water.

My parents were both too eager to start recycling and reusing.I knew it was the right thing to do for the environment，but I was embarrassed every time my mom would dig a plastic bottle out of a public trashcan and put it in the recycling bag she kept in the trunk （后備箱）of the car.

One day， the most popular girl in school， Julie M.，laughed at me in front of my entire AP English class for drinking out of a reusable Thermos instead of a store-bought water bottle.

I honestly thought I might die of shame.I slunk（偷偷摸摸地走）home that day and told my mom all the details.

“Well， which do you like better，” she said gently，clearly used to this kind of public misunderstanding.“Julie or the planet?”

And right then，something clicked.I actually hated Julie—she was tiresome and ridiculous.Why did I care what she—or anyone—thought about my behavior?At the end of the day I was proud of myself for helping the environment and I knew I was doing the right thing.

So finally，I began to let my green flag fly!I collected magazines from my friends to recycle，and brought my own cup to Starbucks.And then the strangest thing happened:people started copying me

One by one，my friends began to flick off the lights（隨手關燈）， buy recycled notebooks， and feed paper back into the printer to make use of the other side.It's not that they were oh-so-passionate about the environment，but they were drawn to my confidence.

The most popular people，not only in high schoo but in life， are those who stand proudly and say “Yeah，this is what I'm into.WHAT.”Even if they don't share your enthusiasm，they will envy your confidence and want to be like you，and that means following your example.

Ⅲ.句型積累

1.I spent the first 20 years of my life terrified a what other people thought about me.在我人生的頭20年，我總會因為別人對我的看法而擔心害怕。

本句中terrified為過去分詞，作后置定語。 what為連接代詞，引導賓語從句。

2.It's not that they were oh-so-passionate abou the environment，but they were drawn to my confidence.他們這樣做并不是因為他們對環保有多么熱衷而是被我對環保的那份篤信吸引了。

It's not that...，but...這是一個對稱句型，表示“不是因為……而是因為……”

3.The most popular people,not only in high school but in life，are those who stand proudly and say “Yeah， this is what I'm into.WHAT.”最受歡迎的人正是那些始終保持驕傲的姿態宣稱“嗯，這就是我喜歡做的事，那又怎樣？”的人。不僅在高中校園是這樣，在生活中也同樣如此。

Not only...but also...“不僅……而且……”。當not only...but also...前后引導兩個完整的句子時，not onl部分需要倒裝，表達“不僅……而且……”。 關系代詞who引導定語從句修飾 those。

●閱讀策略指導

全國乙卷的完形填空和閱讀理解所選用的文本材料以第一人稱的記敘文居多。在閱讀時除了要把握好5W（who、what、when、when、why）和1H（how）外，更要體會主人公“我”所經歷的故事情節，掌握了“我”的經歷過程中的系列心理過程和行為過程，就能夠以批判性思維評價故事的主人公。本文的主人公分享了自己從13歲到20歲之間因為熱愛環保事業，而一路經歷的心理變化和行為變化。最后升華到作者最想表達的思想：最受歡迎的人正是那些始終保持驕傲的姿態宣稱“嗯，這就是我喜歡做的事，那又怎樣？”的人。
