17．Home to 8.2 million people，36 percent of whom were born outside the United States，New York，known as the Big Apple，is the biggest city in America．Nearly twenty times bigger than the capital，Washington DC，you might expect New York to be twenty times more dangerous．Actually，it's safer．Recent figures show that New York now has fewer crimes per 100，000 people than 193 other US cities．It's also healthier than it used to be．For example，the smoking rate has gone down from 21.5 percent a few years ago，to 16.9 percent today．
New Yorkers should be delighted，shouldn't they？In fact，many feel that New York is losing its identity．It used to be the city that never sleeps．These days it's the city that never smokes，drinks or does anything naughty （at least，not in public）．The Big Apple is quickly turning into the Forbidden Apple．
If you decided to have a picnic in Central Park，you'd need to be careful-if you decided to feed the birds with your sandwich，you could be arrested．It's banned．In many countries a mobile phone going off in the cinema is annoying．In New York it's illegal．So is putting your bag on an empty seat in the subway．If you went to a bar for a drink and a cigarette，that would be OK，wouldn't it？Er …no．You can't smoke in public in New York City．In fact，you can't smoke outdoors on the street or in parks either．The angry editor of Vanity Fair magazine，Graydon Carter，says， "Under New York City law it is acceptable to keep a gun in your place of work，but not an empty ashtray．" He should know．The police came to his office and took away his ashtray．
But not all of New York's inhabitants are complaining．Marcia Dugarry，seventy-two，said， "The city has changed for the better．If more cities had these laws，America would be a better place to live．"
The new laws have helped turn the city into one of the healthiest-and most pleasant places to live in America-very different from its old image of a dirty and dangerous city．Its pavements are almost litter-free，its bars clean and its streets among America's safest．Not putting your bag on subway seats might be a small price to pay．

18．Envy seems to be bad-but it doesn't have to be．Researchers are finding that，if approached the right way，there can actually be an advantage．
Psychologists classify envy in two ways：negative and positive．With positive envy，you are motivated by another person's success and struggle to follow it．With negative envy，you want to cut the advantaged person down so you look better by comparison．Let's say you feel sufferings of envy after your rival（對手） at another firm gets promoted．Negative envy might drive you to destroy his success，but positive envy would inspire you to work harder and get promoted，too．
Studies show positive envy can be a great motivator（動力）．In a 2011 study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin，researchers in the Netherlands conducted a series of experiments with more than 200 university students．Researchers found that when they caused feelings of positive envy-as opposed to admiration or negative envy-in the students，it drove them to want to study more and perform better on a test measuring creativity and intelligence．While admiration may feel better，the researchers found，it doesn't motivate performance like the pain and frustration of envy．
"Those painful sufferings of envy are there for an evolutionary（進化的） reason，" says Texas Christian University researcher Sarah E．Hill， "warning us that someone has something of importance to us．" Building on this theory，Dr．Hill and others conducted a series of experiments，published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology，to test whether envy improves attention and memory-the tools needed to copy a rival's steps to success．In one experiment，half of the participants were asked to recall past feelings of envy；the other half weren't．The two groups were then shown mock（模擬的） interviews of imaginary peers．The group filled with envy paid closer attention and better recalled details about the interview subjects．In other words，envy made them more astute（機敏的）．Not only can envy motivate us to reach for higher goals，it may even give us the cognitive push to get there．

A．It inspires you to find a possible rival to try to defeat them．
B．It encourages you to work harder with a positive attitude．
C．It won't hurt your opponents in the same firm．
D．It won't destroy your success at another firm．
（3）Compared to admiration，positive envy can．
A．make you feel worse in all sides
B．be more likely to get you to admire others

D．be more likely to get you inspired to get success
