Youre saving the planet”.Simply place Waterpebble under the shower and it will record the length of your showers.From that point on it starts gradually encouraging you to reduce your shower time by flashing the appropriate light.During your next shower it will flash green, orange or red.If you have let it go all the way to red,then you have overused the amount of time of your last shower.If you stop showering at green,you have beaten your record.The idea is to limit each shower to six minutes or less.Effects:Families who use Waterpebble can look forward to their future water bills.It is a clever and environmentally conscious way to make the process of saving water a more instinctive(本能的) character.Families report that their kids love the idea of playing a role in protecting the planet without being constantly reminded.For more information,please visit Waterpebble online.1.Waterpebble is designed to .A.encourage people to shower every dayB.help people save water while showeringC.help people take a shower more happilyD.record peoples shower time accurately2.What inspired Paul Priestman to invent Waterpebble?A.His love for invention.B.The fact of lacking water.C.An experience of staying in a hotel.D.The importance of taking showers.3.When you take a shower,you should .A.turn on the three lights of Waterpebble firstB.set a time limit on Waterpebble ahead of timeC.pay attention to the flashing light of WaterpebbleD.keep Waterpebbles red light flashing all the time语篇解读:本文是应用文。介绍了Paul Priestman发明的帮助人们在淋浴时节约用水的Waterpebble。答案及剖析:1.B细节理解题。根据第二段Waterpebble not only encourages people to use less water but also helps people realize the importance of protecting the earth.可知, Waterpebble主要用来鼓励人们在淋浴时做到节约用水。2.C细节理解题。根据第三段Paul Priestman invented Waterpebble and was originally inspired by a hotel bathroom sign that read,“Please Save Water.”可知,Paul是因为自己在酒店的经历产生了发明Waterpebble的想法。3.C细节理解题。根据第五段中的If you have let it go all the way to red,then you have overused the amount of time of your last shower.If you stop showering at green,you have beaten your record.可知,Waterpebble的指示灯如果是红色,则说明使用者在浪费水,绿色则表明节约用水,所以你在淋浴的时候,要注意Waterpebble指示灯的 颜色。.七选五(2018大连双基测试)Are you headed for college soon?1.
