That longer way to trip is about to begin. You've been working hard getttng everything organized. I'm here to give you the tips you need to make that packing task easier. The golden rule is: The lighter, the better. Most shampoo manufaturers seem to make a special point of packaging their products in containers which are either large or heavy.
One way to decrease the weight in your bag is to buy some small bottles and pour into them just enough shampoo for the holiday. Another idea is to collect samples of shampoo throughout the year. Ready for use when holiday time comes around. What else needs to go in the suitcase? Clothes, of course! Don't forget to roll them up. They not only saves space but also helps reduce wrinkling. Remember to put an alarm clock, washing powder, and medicine in the suitcase. Still on the subject of the suitcase. To keep your cases safe, keep them simple. If you use very expensive designers' suitcases, you will invite theft. A plain case won't be noticed as much by thieves.
Questions:
11. According to the speaker, how can we decrease the weight in the bag?
12. What does the speaker tell us to do to prevent theft?
13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following talk.
Some people believe that spending quiet hours reading and thinking in a library is the best way to prepare for a debate contest. Most memeory experts, however, would recommend preparing with team members. Doing so increases the rate of learning and the likelihood of remembering. When members of a debate team prepare together, they learn facts and master issues faster and more effectively than each individual could alone. Communication is essential to the ability to remember well, says a well-known psychologist. He's found isolating yourself is about the worst thing you can do if you want to remember information. In other words, when you talk with others, whether it is to describe a movie or complain about a difficult chapter in a textbook, you are actually strengthening your memory. The human memory works like a filing system. For a fling system to be effective, information has to be put in a logical place inside a folder that includes related information. When the members of a debate team practise by using facts in support of an argument, they are exactly gathering related pieces of information into a single mental folder. And during an actual debate, when the pressure is on, they would be more easily recalled than those memorized as isolated pieces of information.（懒得分段了）

16. In what way does human memory work like a filing system?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Last night the news said that in some cities they are thinking of turning off the public water supply during part of each day.
W: Mmm...there is a shortage of water here, too. Is there anything we could do to help? Water is so important.
M: Sure. There are many things we can do to cut down the amount of water we use. One is
change some of the things in the bathroom.
W: Hmm....Don't you think changing the bathroom can be too expensive?
M: I don't mean to change everything, just ...Well, for instance, the shower head. There are new ones on the market that save almost 50% of the water. They don't cost very much.
W: Good idea! I read a normal flow for a shower is 20 liters per minute. By cutting down that by half, one would consumer only 6 liters for a shower. If we turn off the water when we brush our teeth, that would help, too.
M: Right! I wasn't aware it could be that much.
W: There are new toilets that save a lot of water. But it isn't necessary to change them right away.
M: We don't need to change them. By placing one or two brakes in the tank to take up some of the space, the amount of water flowing into the tank would be reduced.
W: That sounds great!
