[精彩導(dǎo)讀]

隨著社會(huì)的發(fā)展進(jìn)步和人類自身環(huán)保意識(shí)的覺醒，越來越多的人意識(shí)到環(huán)境保護(hù)的重要性，并立志做一名合格的環(huán)保衛(wèi)士。但是在環(huán)保這條路上，并不是一帆風(fēng)順，會(huì)遇見很多的困難。讓我一起來看看下面文章的作者在“保護(hù)環(huán)境，拯救世界”這條路上經(jīng)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 filled with all sorts of easy tips to go green. Among many of the simple facts I learned that day， turning off the water while you brush your teeth saves 200 gallons （加侖）of water every year—per person！ Lets just say I started doing that right away. I mean， it is kind of a big deal considering Earth doesnt have an unlimited 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 th/xnen/JJwJVUf9CDmbDIYgMUEjQ9+/Bv7ouH/GF9orw=en， 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(guān)燈）， buy recycled notebooks， and feed paper back into the printer to make use of the other side. Its 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 school but in life， are those who stand proudly and say “Yeah， this is what Im into. WHAT.” Even if they dont share your enthusiasm， they will envy your confidence and want to be like you， and that means following your example.

讀寫任務(wù)鏈接

World Environment Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly（聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)） in 1972. Commemorated（慶祝） each year on June the 5th， it is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.

This year on June the 5th，47th World Environment Day，UN Secretary?General Antonio Guterres delivered a speech on World Environment Day. The following is a part selected from his speech.

... A healthy planet is essential for a prosperous and peaceful future. We all have a role to play in protecting our only home， but it can be difficult to know what to do or where to start. Thats why this World Environment Day has just one request： beat plastic pollution.

Our world is swamped （淹沒） by harmful plastic waste. If present trends continue， by 2050 our oceans will have more plastic than fish. On World Environment Day， the message is simple： reject single?use plastic. Refuse what you cant reuse. Together， we can chart a path to a cleaner， greener world.
