Activity 1
Read paragraph 1. Try to answer the questions below.
1. Most people suffer from what is known as “Just-me-ism”. What is that Well, say you leave the tap running while you brush your teeth, leave a light on when you go out or you drop a piece of litter and can’t be bothered to pick it up. You know that all those things are wrong, but so what “What difference can it possibly make ” you say to yourself.
大多数人都患有所谓的“唯我主义”。那是什么 比如说，你刷牙的时候水龙头开着，出门的时候灯开着，或者你掉了一块垃圾，懒得捡起来。你知道这些都是错的，但那又怎样 “这有什么区别呢 ”你对自己说。
患有; 遭受
v. 假设，比如说
v. 刷
v. 投，丢
那又怎样
make a difference (to...) (对...)有作用，有关系，有影响
1.“There are millions of people in the world and I’m just me. How can it matter if I leave one little tap running, one little light on or leave a little piece of litter on the road And anyway, no one will know.” Of course, it wouldn’t matter if there were just a few people in the world. But just think of all the millions of people saying to themselves: “It doesn’t matter. It’s just me. And, anyway, no one knows.”
世界上有成千上万的人，而我只是我。如果我让一个小水龙头开着，一盏小灯开着，或者在路上留下一小块垃圾，这又有什么关系呢 不管怎样，没有人会知道的。”当然，如果世界上只有几个人，那也没关系。但想想数以百万计的人对自己说:“没关系。只有我。而且，无论如何，没有人知道。”数百万加仑的水将被浪费;数百万盏灯将继续亮着;数以百万计的垃圾将被丢弃。所有这些都是非常有害的。
v. 要紧；有重大影响
adv. 请，就
1. Millions of gallons of water would be wasted; millions of lights would be left on; millions of pieces of litter would be dropped. And all of this would be very harmful.
数百万加仑的水将被浪费;数百万盏灯将继续亮着;数以百万计的垃圾将被丢弃。所有这些都是非常有害的。
1. What is “Just-me-ism”
2. Why is “Just-me-ism” a problem
3. Do you have any suggestions on how to solve the problem
Activity 1
Read paragraph 1. Try to answer the questions below.
Activity 1
1. What is “just-me-ism”
“Just-me-ism”is a way of thinking that focuses on caring for just oneself and ignores the environment, animals and the community.
Activity 1
2. Why is “Just-me-ism” a problem
There will be nobody to care and look after the environment.
A solution would be to make them understand that even the smallest action can change the world, so they should take actions whenever possible for the environment, animals and their community.
For example, they should turn the tap off when brushing their teeth, turn the light off when they leave a room and pick up even little pieces of litter they dropped on the road.
3. Do you have any suggestions on how to solve the problem？
2. To inspire young people to take action for the environment, animals and their community, Roots & Shoots was established. This institute was set up in the early 1990s by Dr. Jane Goodall, a scientist who’s the world’s best-known expert on wild chimpanzees.
为了激励年轻人为环境、动物和他们的社区采取行动，“根与芽”成立了。这个研究所是由简·古道尔博士于20世纪90年代初建立的，她是世界上最著名的野生黑猩猩专家。
