[课时作业] [限时30分钟] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A A company has designed a water bottle，the Memobottle，which is ideal for the office worker's bag，because it's completely flat.With the same shape as a piece of paper，the Memobottle is a reusable water bottle that slides into your bag to lie next to books and laptops.The bottle，which can also be washed in a dishwasher，is designed to help reduce the number of plastic bottles in landfills(废物埋填场). Two creative people Jesse Leeworthy and Jonathan Byrt，both 28，designed the bottle to be convenient to carry and environmentally friendly.It is made from a durable and dishwasher­friendly “green” plastic. Leeworthy and Byrt，from Australia，say more than 600 billion single­use bottles were sold globally last year.In America alone，studies show that around 1500 single­use water bottle are consumed every second—only 20 percent of these are recycled.And the cost of buying more and more plastic bottles adds to—the pair say that bottled water costs approximately 1400 times more than tap water. “We've always been passionate about the environment，” said Leeworthy.“For years we have been focused on creative design that provides environmental remedy while improving social convenience.The Memobottle was designed to overcome the two problems that we see in our society：our attachment to the outdoors，and our inability to fit water bottles in laptop bags.” The bottle will be available in three different sizes—A5 which holds 750 ml，A4 which holds 1.25 litres and letter size which stores 1.25 litres.The product is seeking funding on Kickstarter and has already soared(飙升) past its primary goal of raising ￡8310，reaching it in just 36 hours.Jonathan Byrt said，“The feedback we've received has been overwhelmingly positive! The email of support and interest，and social media comments have been amazing！” The product is expected to be on the market by the end of the year and will be available for global delivery.
