The Scribble is amagical pen that can scan colors and instantly reproduce the colors. Hold the Scribble’s scanner up to any color, and within a second that color is stored in its memory.Once stored, that color can be used to draw on paperor on a digital screen.
WhocanusetheScribble?
Children will love the Scribble because it can create different colors, replacing even their biggest box of crayons (蜡笔). Besides, anyone working with color in their professional lives, such as artists, will be able to scan and reproduce colors instantly.
The Scribble isthebestcolor—Green
One of the most importantcharacteristics of the Scribble is that, since it can reproduce any color, it replaces marking pens, greatly reducing the huge amount of plastic waste.
What’
There will be two different versions of the Scribble, the Scribble INK and the Scribble STYLUS. The INK will be able to reproduce exact colors on paper. It includes a color sensor, 1 GB of internal memory that will store over 100,000 colors, a rechargeable battery, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, a processor and 5 ink cartridges (盒). The STYLUS is exactly the same as the INK, minus the ink cartridge as it is intended for use on screen.

Looking good, feeling good
Born to a model mom and a suit maker dad, fashion was actually in my blood.I always had a strong desire to dress in a certain way and to stand out from the crowd.
Imademy own toys whenI was a young child and sewed my first skirt at just 10 years old.Afriend’s mother took one look at my skirt and told me that I should be a patternmaker. In high school I started making my own clothes, mos
For my business I started out with the idea that everything I did would be hand-made and one-of-a-kind, specially made for one individual who hopefully had the same tastes as me. Every morning I jumped out of bed,went to my studio and worked on my projects. This just showed how enthusiastic I felt about my work. And at night I even dreamed of new designs!
Fashion design is functional art. What I mean is that it’s something close to you and something you can touch and feel, and actually interact with. My advice to any young person who wants to be a fashion designer is to get the basic skills early on, such as sewing and pattern-making. Even if you end up specializing, it’s really important to understand all aspects of design in order to make high-quality clothes.
Also, if you dream of having your own clothing line, the best thing to do is start wearing your clothes. You have to try and do this because that’s the way you’re going to develop something that’s all yours and unlike anyone else’s. I passionately believe that the right clothing can make people feel better and give them more confidence.
59. When the author was in high school, she ______.
60. What does the underlined word “functional” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
61. What advice does the author give to those who want to be fashion designers?
62. According to the author, well-designed clothes _______.

PhoneSoap: Charge and Clean Your Phone
You may charge your phone every day, but do you clean your phone as much? Whatever your hands touch, your phones touch. It has been discovered that some phones have 18 times more bacteria and virusesthan any surface in a public restroom. So it probably won’t surprise you that a 2011 University of London study found that one in six of our phones have bacteria and viruses on them—specifically, the bacteria called E. coli.
The research on bacteria and virusesled to the invention of PhoneSoap. It is not actually liquid like dishwasher soap. It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation (辐射) used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges.
“There are really certain types of bacteria and viruses that we should not be in touch with, and they are really on our phones,” says Wes Barnes, the PhoneSoap co-founde
PhoneSoap looks like a little metal suitcase. Your phone rests in to charge and get cleaned at the same time. Instead of plugging your phone into the wall, you’d plug it into the PhoneSoap charger box. The process only takes a few minutes but, Barnes says, “The idea is that you can leave it in there overnight if you want to keep charging. Reflective paint keeps the light completely around the phone so it cleans the phone fully.”
The co-founders spent 2013 finding the right companies and they started shipping
63. We can learn from the first paragraph that ______.
64. According to the passage, PhoneSoap ______.
65. From what Barnes said in the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.
66. What’s the passage mainly about?

Finding the Real You
Psychometric testing—personality testing—has been very popular nowadays as studies show their results to be three times more accurate in predicting your job performance. These testsare now included in almost all graduate recruitment (招聘) andare widely used in the selection ofmanagers.
The most popular of these personality tests is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). It is based on the theory that we are born with a tendency to one personality type which stays more or less fixed throughout life. You answer 88 questions and are then given your “type”, such as Outgoing or Quiet, Feeling orThinking.
Critics of personality testing raise doubts about “socialengineering”. Psychologist Dr. Colin Gill warns that the“popular” personality traits (特性) have their disadvantages. “People who areextremely open to new experiences can be butterflies,going from one idea to the next without mastering anyof them.” However, the psychometric test is here tostay, which may be why a whole sub-industry on cheatingpersonality tests has sprung up. “It’s possible to cheat,” admits Gill, “but having to pretend to be the person you are at work will be tiring and unhappy and probably short-lived.”
So can we change our personality? “Your basic personalityis fixed by the time you’re 21,”says Gill,“but it can beaffected by motivation and intelligence. If you didn’t have the personality type to be a doctor but desperately wanted to be one and were intelligent enough to master the skills, you could still go ahead. But trying to go too much against type for too long requires much energy and is actually to be suffered for long. I think it’s why we’re seeing this trend for downshifting—too many peopletryingtofitintoatypethattheyaren’t really suited for.”
Our interestin personalitynow existsin every part of our lives. If you ask an expert for advice on anything, you’ll probably be quizzed about your personality. But if personalitytestshaveanyvaluetous,perhapsitisto free us from the idea thatallofusarefullofpotential, and remind us of what we are.Astheysayinonetest when they ask for your age: pick the one you are, not theone you wish you were.
67. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is based on the belief that ______.
68. According to Dr. Gill,what is the problem with personality tests?
69. In Dr. Gill’s view, how easy is it tochange your personality?
70. What final conclusion does the author reach about the value of personality tests?
