U.S. Bottled Water Sales Are Booming Again Despite Opposition
Despite organized anti-bottled-water campaigns across the country and a noisy debate about bottled water’s environmental impact, Americans are buying more bottled water than ever.
Why do so many people seem to think they should have any input on what other American’s choose to buy or do?
If they want to buy bottled water, let them.
If they want to eat fast food, let them.
If they want to smoke pot, let them.

People just get tired of paying for others’ bad behavior. If many people eat excessive fast food, you pay higher insurance premiums. If many people frequently buy bottled water, your trash bills go up and landfills fill up quickly.www.zxxk.com
It’s about personal responsibility, which really should be a cornerstone of libertarianism.

So? This is the price you pay to live in a free society. You want to control the life of another just so you can save a few bucks? What would you say when someone do the same to you?

Defend selfish pricks all you like; I’m just glad there are still people who still believe personal responsibility is a good and decent thing. We make your life cheaper and less bothersome.

What a waste of money! It’s fine when you’re on the road and you need a cold drink, but people who buy cases of bottled water for home are completely crazy.

I wish we all can find a way to improve things and benefit from this. The environment needs a lot of help but businesses will always work on what people would need and demand. Is this part of the balance? Hope we can find better ways.

試題分析：本文講述的是美國人對于瓶裝水對環(huán)境的影響的討論，列舉了部分網(wǎng)民的觀點。
1.D 推理題。根據(jù)文章第一段Despite organized anti-bottled-water campaigns across the country and a noisy debate about bottled water’s environmental impact,可知在美國有很多爭論都是關于瓶裝水對于環(huán)境的影響。故D正確。
2.B 推理題。根據(jù)Norman619.所說：So? This is the price you pay to live in a free society. You want to control the life of another just so you can save a few bucks?說明他認為我們不要試圖控制別人。而Barackalypse也認為If they want to buy bottled water, let them.不要去管別人。故這兩者的意見是一致的。故B正確。
3.A 推理題。根據(jù)It’s fine when you’re on the road and you need a cold drink, but people who buy cases of bottled water for home are completely crazy. 可知他認為在路上的時候，喝點瓶裝水是可以的。但是如果買整箱的瓶裝水回家，那是瘋了！說明他是部分同意瓶裝水，也是有條件的同意。故A正確。
4.C 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段The environment needs a lot of help but businesses will always work on what people would need and demand.可知生意人只是為了滿足某些人的需要而生產了瓶裝水。他們并不是真正的問題所在。真正的問題在于那些需要瓶裝水的人，所以所有人并不要負全部的責任。故C正確。
