A lot of people drink bottled water in the world． A water bottle offers great convenience． It can be bought almost anywhere， carried around for a while， and then thrown away．

The influence of bottled water on the environment， however， is very big． About 2.7million tons of plastic is turned into bottles which are only used once each year． This requires a lot of oil and water． It also produces greenhouse gases． Bottled water is often carried for long distances to reach people who buy it． This uses even more fossil fuels（化石燃料） and creates more pollution． Although the bottles can be recycled， only small parts of themare． The United States only recycles about 23percent． The rest are part of a growing waste problem．

Convenience isn't the only reason for bottled water to become popular． Many people believe that it must be cleaner and healthier than tap water from public water systems． But this is not true． In developed countries such as the United States and some countries in Europe， laws about safe water are often stricter for tap water than for bottled water．

It may come as a surprise that nearly 40percent of the water bottled in the United States starts from tap water． Before bottling， some companies filter（过滤）it， and they might add some things for taste． What's more， bottled water can cost from 240to 10， 000times more than tap water．

"Back to the tap" activities start around the world， In order to save money， use fewer resources， and create less waste， they support using tap water and reusable bottles rather than bottled water． San Francisco and other cities across the United States no longer allow their government departments to buy Many bottled water companies are trying to improve， too． They have reduced the use of plastic in their bottles．

Nowadays， with the development of the Internet， emoji（表情符号）are more and more popular among netizens（网民）． Some people even feel difficult to talk online without using emoji． Emoji help netizens to communicate with each other easily and vividly（生动地）． Yet， not all emoji are properly used on social media． So we are going to introduce some common but confusing（令人困惑的）emoji to help you have a better understanding of these small signs．

1． A recent survey shows， over 53% people use the emoji when they are chatting online． Some people think it means "I'm shy，" but others only use it when they are surprised or shocked． But what does it really mean？ It is still an unsolved question．

2． What do you think of this sign？ Believe it or not， 80% of netizens use it under the meaning of "It is not funny at all， but I have to smile．" Is it right？ Of course not! It actually means that "I saw what you did（usually bad things） and I want to give you a sinister（奸诈的）smile．"

3． People have very different opinions on this emoji． The Apple company has told that this emoji means "high five（嗨，击掌）．" But most people still use the incorrect meaning﹣"pray"． Some netizens even thought， "If you see this emoji as two people give each other a high five， you must be a bad guy．"

4． According to the official guidelines（官方指南）， it is used as "smile through tears（破涕为笑）．" However， most young netizens consider this emoji as "Laugh to tears" or simply "LOL"， which means "Laugh out loud"．

Sometimes，when you worry that you may fail an exam，you end up failing．Or during a seating arrangement （安排） in your class，when you are afraid to sit next to someone you don' t like，you end up sharing the desk with him or her．

This is what Murphy' s Law tells us： If things can go wrong，they will go wrong．But is it true？

Of the studies about Murphy' s Law，the most famous one is the buttered toast （烤面包片）phenomenon （现象）： One toast with butter falls，it lands butter﹣side down most of the time．

To prove this，Robert Matthews did a lot of experiments with more than 1，000British school kids in 2001．

In the first experiment，each student put a piece of buttered toast on a plate，let it fall off 20times and noted which side it landed on．Of almost 10，000experiments，toast landed butter﹣side down 62percent of the time．

But you may ask： Is it the butter that plays a role？ Here comes Matthews' second experiment．

This time，instead of butter，the toast had a letter "B" written on one side．It still landed 58 percent of the time on the B﹣side．

This proved that Murphy' s Law is true： If the toast can land butter﹣side down，it will do so．

Matthews did another experiment．When students threw the toast from a height of 2.5metres，the toast landed butter﹣side down only 47percent of the time．

"Toast lands butter﹣side down because humans aren' t tall enough to let it land any other way，" Matthews said．

根据上文内容判断正（T）误（F）

（1）According to Murphy' s Law，in an English class，if you don' t want to be questioned by the teacher，you may end up failing answering the questions．　　

（2）In the first experiment of buttered toast，we know the toast landed butter﹣side down about 620times．　　

（3）If the toast can land butter﹣side down，Murphy' s Law is true．　　

（4）In the first two experiments，either the butter or the letter "B" plays a role．　　

（5）The passage is mainly talking about Murphy' s Law depends on people' s mental state（心理状态）．
