A constant worry that has stayed in the back of my mind since the birth of my eldest son, some sixteen years ago.Through the years, I have witnessed the worlds reaction to my son evolve as he has grown from a small boy to a young man.In his early years, his easy smile and lovable character were nothing less than magnetic(有磁性的)plete strangers would approach him in the street, draw him into conversation, and find themselves easily struck by his lively spirit.Even at that time I worried, how would my son react when in the years to e some of those who found themselves so impressed by this cute, intelligent boy, might grasp_their_purse_tighter as he walked by.Over the years I have sought to protect his spirit from the hurt that es from undeserved hatred.I have also sought to arm him with the knowledge that could one day save his life.He knows, for example, that if he is ever pulled over by the police, that he is to keep_both_hands_on_the_wheel_at_all_times and only reach for his license when the officer is specifically observing his actions.He knows, even in less threatening situations, that rough play and loud interactions with his buddies of any color will be viewed very differently when he does it, than when his white friends display the very same behavior.Still, the truth of the matter is, no amount of advice or voiceless behavior overes the physical, immovable fact of the color of his skin.His intelligence, easy smile, and lovable character wont protect him from unfounded assumptions of criminality.What makes the Trayvon Martin travesty(歪曲) of justice so painful to me, personally, is the knowledge that Trayvons mother loved her baby no less than I love mine.The various pictures of moments throughout a happy childhood that have now found a home on nationwide newscasts provide clear evidence of that.Yet no amount of love and care, and no words of advice could have saved her son from the cruel killing he faced at the hands of a selfappointed neighborhood watchdog.And perhaps even worse, nothing could have prepared her for the inhuman way her son has been treated by officials even in death.To think for three long days, his parents searched for him while officials failed to inform them of his fate and instead, performed drug and alcohol tests on his lifeless body, while failing to do the same for his attackerthe only one of the two who indeed had a criminal past is frankly, unforgivable.To know that the words of her sons killer were given more weight than eyewitnesses and taped evidence of her childs screams and eventual death must be heartbreaking.But to also have to live with the fact that his attacker still breathes free while her son lays buried underground is certainly more than any sorrowful parent should have to endure(忍受)It is this type of pain that is not unfamiliar to the Black experience in America, for this is the Black mothers burden.A burden we have endured for centuries.We know the pain of having our newborn babies grabbed from our loving arms to be sold into lifelong servitude(奴役) and to never again experience the warmth of a mothers loving hug.Yet, there is still the rightful expectation, that in modernday America, the wheels of justice would not be stopped.So today, it is my hope that Trayvons mother, father, family and friends can take some fort in the fact that millions of Americans of every color stand with them in their fight for justice.This is a burden no family should have to endure alone.We will not give up.We will not forget.We will continue the fight until justice is done.1What do you know about Sybrina Fulton?

those who like to have a backpacking trip is how to ensure a steady 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】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了Scrubba Wash Bag的產(chǎn)生背景和功能。1What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?AHis job requirements.BA traditional washboard.CHis interest in invention.DHis

invention?AClothes couldnt be washed well.BThe invention was not so convenient.CThe bag couldnt contain enough water.DThe cost of the invention was very high.B解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“However，Newland was not satisfied.He still saw a disadvantage with his inventiondirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate

friendlierBwill replace the traditional washing machinesCwill be widely used by more travelers in the futureDcan encourage more people to travel a long distanceC解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“With the Scrubba Wash Bag.a thing of the past！”可知，有了Scrubba Wash Bag，在國外旅游時尋找洗衣店或者用洗衣機(jī)洗衣付費(fèi)很快就會成為過去。由此可以推知，在將來Scrubba Wash Bag將會被更多的旅游者廣泛使用，故選C項(xiàng)。4What is the best title of this passage?AA Thing of the
