【推荐2】If the test is already set, the best way to prepare for it is with a battery of activities that most closely look like the test itself. And so as the Big Standardized Tests have spread, publishers have cranked out varieties of coaching workbooks that are all collections of short excerpts accompanied by a set of multiple choice questions. Instead of teaching students how to read a whole book, we teach them how to take a standardized test.

A. Unlike many other AAC applications, Freespeech’s buttons are easily editable, a feature Archer believed was important to how Della wanted to communicate. It wasn't long before the Calder family noticed a change in how Della was able to communicate with them.
B. Archer, therefore, began using his coding (编程) abilities to help his sister communicate. The boy developed a web-based application called Freespeech. The site can be accessed from any device --phones, tablets and computers -- with Internet access. The simple website lets users program buttons with pictures of their choice to represent words. When clicked, the word is sounded out loud.
C. Archer made his website free for anyone to use and posted it on TikTok, hoping it might reach other families like his who might find it useful.
D. “In the past, when we had to go somewhere, we just took her. She never really discussed it with us,” the father said. “Freespeech has really helped to bring her more into the conversation and more into the life of our family." The family says it has also helped them discover more of her personality.
E. Della, Archer Calder’s sister, has Bainbridge-Ropers syndrome, a condition which affects her ability to speak. In her early teens, she was introduced to augmentative and alternative (增强型和替代型) communication (AAC) applications, programs designed to help people who have trouble with speech or language skills. Some applications were quite expensive, but her family was disappointed with the results.
【推荐2】A build-it-yourself solar still (蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5' ×5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container — perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone (圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material, and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?
A.Dig a hole of a certain size. |
B.Put the cup in place. |
C.Weight the sheet’s center down. |
D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet. |
【推荐3】Good tool design is important in the prevention of overuse injuries. Well-designed tools and equipment will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward(别扭的)hand positions. They will allow the worker to keep the elbows(肘)next to the body to prevent damage to the shoulder and arm.
