【推荐1】Downloading files is one of the primary uses of the Internet. You can find virtually anything online, and chances are that you've been downloading files ever since you started using your computer. Your Operating System will attempt to put all of your downloads in one central location, but eventually you may have downloaded files all over your computer. Knowing how to quickly find your downloaded files can save you a lot of time and headache.

● Check your Downloads folder（文件夹）. Windows includes a Downloads folder that acts as the default (默认的) download location for most programs for every user. There are a couple of ways you may be able to find your Downloads folder:

Click the Start menu and then click your user name. You should see a Downloads folder in the window that opens.

Open Windows Explorer ⊞ Win+E. Your Downloads folder may be listed in the left frame under "Favorites" or "Computer/This PC".

Press ⊞ Win+R and type shell: downloads. Press ↵ Enter to open the Downloads folder.

● Check other locations. If you download with a lot of programs, chances are that your downloads have become a bit spread out. Other popular places for your downloads to appear are your Desktop and your Documents/My Documents folder.

If you have a secondary drive that acts as a file storage, check to see if you've created a download folder on it as well.

● Search for the file. If you know the name of the file you downloaded, you can search for it to quickly open it. Press ⊞ Win and start typing the name of the file. You should see it appear in the search results.

● Open your downloaded files. You shouldn't have much difficulty opening most files that you download online, but you may run across a few file types that can give you problems. See the guides below for details on opening these troublesome files.

【推荐1】根据内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Drinking water is so important for good health. When in school, you learned what water is made up of.    1    However, what you may not have learned is how much water you need in order to be healthy. As we all know, 60﹪ to 70﹪ of the body is water. Your body needs water to control body temperature and to carry nutrients to all parts of the body.    2    When you are very active, for example, playing football, you’ll lose more water. If you don’t drink water at once, it will do harm to your health.    3    Take your weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water that you need to drink per day. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. Twenty percent of your water need will come from the foods you eat.     4    Water is the best choice. Sodas have a lot of sugar in them, so if you drink sodas, you may take in more calories than you need.    5    

A．Why do you need to drink water?

B．The rest should come from what you drink.

C．How much water do you need to drink every day?

D．Juices are good because they have lots of nutrients.

E．Now let’s take a look at where your water need comes from.

F．Water can also play an important part in protecting your body.

G．You also learned how it is important to our body.

【推荐2】Some pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic, according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare. 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 Newcastle's Institute of Neuroscience, and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment. One reflected standard commercial 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 sweets — pigs love them — and 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.

1. What was the study trying to figure out?

A．How to make pigs happier.

B．The similarities between humans and pigs.

C．How living environment affected pigs' mood.

D．How pigs' mood and personality affected their judgment.

2. What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Simple.	B．More comfortable.
C．Unpractical.	D．Less free.

3. What do the findings of the new research imply?

A．People should treat pigs equally.

B．People's health relies on meat quality.

C．People should meet pigs' various needs.

D．People's attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.
