supply of clean clothes.Now，thanks to a great invention called the Scrubba Wash Bag，that worry may be a thing of the past.The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010，while he was planning to climb Mt.Kilimanjaro.Struck by the limited packing space，he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes.Then he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bags design.By 2012，the bag was ready for the public.It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space，making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly，the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers，university students and even passengers.However，Newland was not satisfied.He still saw a disadvantage with his inventiondirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag！The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Bag solves that problem.In order to make the pack active，dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two or three liters of water.The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes.After a quick wash，they are clean and ready to be dried.According to Newland，the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks！Whats even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water，it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year，only weighs 300 grams and is pletely foldable，making it easy to store when its not in use.With the Scrubba Wash Bag，wandering through foreign cities，searching for a laundry，or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了Scrubba Wash Bag的產(chǎn)生背景和功能。4What

generally happy，singing and dancing to my favorite songs，smiling and laughing with my friends and family.But as far back as second grade，I noticed a “darkness” about me.I didnt enjoy participating in many things.In middle school，things in my life began to get even worse.I began withdrawing from everything I once enjoyed.I was always tired.Everything was horrible.Finally，midway through eighth grade，I was told I had a chemical imbalance，diagnosed(診斷)with clinical depression，and had to take medicine.It took months for me to feel the effects of the medicine.When I began to feel happy again is when I realized that I had to take the responsibility for getting better myself，rather than relying on medicine.Aristotle said，“To live happily is an inward power of the soul，” and I believe that this quote describes what I had to do to achieve happiness.Happiness is a journey.Everyone seems to need different things to be happy.“The essentials(要素) to happiness are something to love，something to do，and something to hope for，”a quote from William Blake sums up what I believe people need to realize to be truly happy in life.People need love.I feel they need their family and their friends more than anything else in the world.People need work to do，something to make them feel they are making a difference in the world.People need to know that more good is to e in the future，so they continue to live for “now” instead of constantly worrying about the bad that could e.Love and hope are happiness.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】作者根據(jù)自己克服抑郁癥的經(jīng)歷總結(jié)出了幸福生活的要素。8What do we know about the author in

The study，published in the journal Biology Letters，is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal，influencing judgment.Asher，a researcher at the University of Newcastles Institute of Neuroscience，and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment. One reflected standard mercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft，deep straw. After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks，the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment. “To do this，we trained each pig. In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweetspigs love themand at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans，which pigs find bittertasting，”a researcher said.Over a number of training trials，pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets. On the contrary，they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations，to see how the pigs would react. Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside，showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets. Others，however，behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans，displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a onesizefitsall answer to animal welfare issues does not exist. Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people，there is still cause for concern. Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇研究報(bào)告，講述情緒和性格在動(dòng)物中的相互作用。12What was the study trying to figure out?AHow to make pigs happier.BThe similarities between humans and pigs.CHow living environment affected pigs mood.DHow pigs mood and personality affected their judgment.D解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段第二句“The study，published in the journal Biology Letters，is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal，influencing judgment”可知，選項(xiàng)D的概括符合題意。所以選項(xiàng)D正確。13What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?ASimple.
