Getting away for a short time always seems like a great idea—until you have to pack. The rule is: pack light. Here are some tips to help you pack.

Organize Yourself

Make a list. Think of what you need from your head to your toes. When you’ve done this once, it’ll be easier next time.

Start Small

Consider buying small-size samples of shampoo, toothpaste, and other items at your local store. Make sure they are all sealed tightly.

In an emergency, you can purchase them at your destination. But remember that the time you spend buying things at your destination will reduce your visiting time.

The Clothing Dilemma

Choosing which clothes to bring is probably the hardest packing decision to make. Think once again from head to toe — hat, shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. Once you’ve picked out what you want to bring, think carefully. Do you really need that extra pair of jeans? If so, fine. Don’t try to fool yourself. You are the one who will be left holding the bag.

Weather is an important factor in your packing. If it’s cold, you could wear a jacket, a sweater, a regular shirt, and a T-shirt. Layering up will keep you warm and it will leave more room in your bag. Roll up your casual clothes instead of folding and laying them flat. This leaves more room to pack other things, and keeps your clothes fairly wrinkle-free.

Remember how much easier it will be to carry your bag!

1.This text would be most helpful to a reader who is _______ .

书面表达

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Once upon a time some tiny frogs held a competition. The first to reach the top of a very high tower would be the winner.

A big crowd gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer them on.

The race began. No one in the crowd really believed that any of the tiny frogs would reach the top of tower. “They will never get to the top! They will never succeed!” someone said.

One by one, the tiny frogs began to collapse (退下).

The crowd kept shouting, “It is too difficult! No frog will make it!”

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up, but one continued climbing, higher and higher. This one wouldn’t give up.

In the end, he was the only one left—the only one to get to the top. The other frogs naturally wanted to know: How did the frog make it？

One frog stepped forward to ask the winner. It turned out that the winner was deaf.

He had won because he was able to keep his own mind. He was able to keep trying. He couldn’t hear criticism; neither could he hear praise.

We learn a lesson from this story: don’t let others’ praise or criticism to hold you back on your way to succeed.

Energy independence． It has a nice ring to it． Doesn't it？ If you think so， you're not alone，because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades， and never more so than in the past few years， when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession（经济衰退）．

"Energy independence"and its rhetorical（修辞的） companion"energy security"are， however，slippery concepts that are rarely though through． What is it we want independence from， exactly？

Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil．But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere．

The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running． Yes， there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available， and more may become available， but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction．

Second， Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil． They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad． Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection． To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports？

Third， there are benefits to trade． It allows for economic efficiency， and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do， we benefit． And although you don't read about this much， the United States is also a large exporter of oil products， selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries．

There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and， in fact， relies on that steady flow to maintain ite economy． When that flow is interrupted， we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices． At the same time， we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world．

1.From the passage， we know that biofuels ．

A．keep America's economy running healthily

B．prove to be a good alternative to petroleum

C．do not provide a sustainable energy supply

D．cause serious damage to the environment

2.Why does America rely heavily on oil imports？

A．Its own oil production falls short of demand．

B．Its own oil reserves are quickly running out．

C．It wants to keep Its own environment undamaged．

D．It wants to expand its storage of crude oil．

3.What can we conclude from the last paragraph？

A．America doesn't have enough oil supplies．

B．People can benefit more from importing oil．

C．Energy independence is significant for Americans．

D．Short of energy may cause economic depression．

4.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？

A．To justify America's dependence on oil imports．

B．To stress the importance of energy conservation．

C．To arouse Americans' awareness of the energy crisis．

D．To explain the increase of international oil trade．
