Behave in the Public
【正确答案】[范文]
   
Behave in the Public

   Many of us must have heard of the old Chinese saying, "Don't do to others what you do not want to be done to." But many people must have forgotten this old saying when they turn up in the public. In fact, many people talk loudly, litter freely, jump queues, and ignore traffic regulations. Some even scratch in tourist attractions, leaving marks on scenic spots.
   This kind of uncivilized behavior is very harmful and should be discouraged. On the one hand, it surely brings inconveniences to others, pollutes the environment and even disturbs social order. On the other hand, it also causes you yourself trouble in that uncivilized behavior normally makes people unpopular or even disgustful.
   In order to create a harmonious society, we all should behave ourselves in the public. Besides, if we were all considerate and behaved well in public places, this world would become a better place for us to live in.
【答案解析】 这是一篇论说文,要求考生结合谚语就“公共场合行为应检点”这个话题进行阐述。根据题目要求,文章内容可安排如下:
   第一段:结合谚语概述当下公共场合中的不文明举止(如大声喧哗、插队、乱扔垃圾等)。
   第二段:分点阐述不文明举止的危害性。
   第三段:呼应文章主题,呼吁公众共同树立文明之风。
[参考译文] 许多人肯定听说过“己所不欲,勿施于人”这句谚语。可是身处公共场合时,很多人肯定是把这句谚语给忘了。事实上,很多人在公共场合大声喧哗、随地丢垃圾、插队、无视交通规则。有人甚至在游览胜地乱涂乱画,并在景点留下标记。
   这种行为非常有害,理应被劝止。一方面,在公众场所的不文明行为肯定会给他人带来不便、污染环境,甚至扰乱社会秩序。另一方面,在公众场所的不文明行为同样也会给你自己带来麻烦,因为这种行为通常使人不受欢迎,甚至令人讨厌。
   为了创建一个和谐的社会,我们身处公众场所时都应检点自己的行为。此外,如果我们都相互体谅,并且在公众场所行为检点,这个世界将变成我们更美好的居住之地。
