How to Choose and Use a Basic Portable Bluetooth Speaker?
Portable (便携式) Bluetooth speakers are a must-have for anyone who loves music on the move. But with so many options, how do you pick the right one? And once you have it, how do you get started?
First, let’s look at the key things to check when choosing a basic model:
Key Feature
What to Look For
Why It Matters
Battery Life
At least 6 hours of playtime
Avoids frequent charging when out
Size & Weight
Under 500g, palm-sized
Easy to carry in a bag or hand
Water Resistance
Basic water protection
Safe if it rains lightly or gets a little wet
Once you’ve picked your speaker, setting it up is simple. Here’s how to start using it in minutes:
●Charge the speaker first. Use the USB cable (数据线) that comes with it — most take 2 to 3 hours to fully charge. A red light will turn to a green light when it’s ready.
●Turn on the speaker. Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds — you’ll hear a beep, and a blue light will flash, which means it’s ready to connect.
●Pair it with your phone. On your phone, go to Bluetooth settings, find the speaker’s name, and tap to connect. The blue light will stop flashing once connected.
●Play music. Open your favorite music app, pick a song, and adjust the volume — you can use the buttons on the speaker or your phone.
Basic portable Bluetooth speakers don’t have to be complicated. They’re designed to make listening to music easy and fun — so you can focus on enjoying your tunes (曲子), not figuring out how the device works.
1. What feature can be excluded for a basic portable Bluetooth speaker?
A. Battery life. B. Water resistance. C. Appearance. D. Weight.
2. What is the sign of a successful speaker connection?
A. It turns off the blue light. B. It makes a long deep sound.
C. It turns on the green light. D. It makes a soft music sound.
3. Why does the author write the text?
A. To advertise. B. To entertain. C. To persuade. D. To suggest.
B
A few years ago, I was leaving the dog shelter where I worked only to find a baby goat at the end of the driveway. The shelter’s owners are known as animal rescuers, and I figured someone had abandoned him over the fence. The kid was visibly nervous but stood perfectly still as I approached.
I’m an animal lover and I’ve brought home dogs, cats, horses, and chickens, but never a goat. The tiny kid was too adorable to resist. I named him Quincy, and with the help of some experienced friends, bottle-fed him in my bathroom.
Quincy proved to be quite sharp-witted. When he was about a week old, I knocked on the bathroom floor and said “lie down”. I was astonished when he dropped down. I was even more amazed when he did it three times in a row.
A quick study! Quincy learned to lie down, bow, and turn in a circle in no time. He is house-trained, jumps in the back of my SUV when I say “load up”, and spends the day wandering with my dogs, whom he considers his fellow goats. He knows the name of everything I feed him, and even joins us for trips to the dog park.
I love to train animals and often take my dogs to shows where they can perform their tricks. Quincy did his first show when he was just six weeks old. He knew only a few tricks then, but he did them perfectly and never misbehaved or got nervous in front of the crowd.
Now he has a whole inventory (清单): he’ll come when called, walk on a string, wave, smile for the camera (“Say cheese!”), and more. Quincy and my dogs perform regularly at schools, nursing homes, and charity events. Quincy can even “read” his tricks off cards, which always earns the most applause.
It’s hard to believe that the baby goat nobody wanted turned out to be one of the smartest and most good-natured animals I’ve ever had. He’s by far the sharpest of my bunch—just don’t tell the dogs!
4. Why did the author decide to adopt the goat?
A. It touched his heart. B. He could only find a goat.
C. A goat was always his favorite. D. Some experienced friends convinced him.
5. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Brave. B. Gentle. C. Innocent. D. Intelligent.
6. How does the author present the baby goat’s ability?
A. By citing figures. B. By listing examples.
C. By making a comparison. D. By drawing a diagram.
7. Which words can best describe the author?
A. Generous and modest. B. Cautious and smart.
C. Humorous and warm-hearted. D. Optimistic and creative.
C
Emotions, thoughts and ideas. We use language to transform abstract ideas into concrete ( 具体的) communication tools. How could we go ahead as a culture unless we shared a common understanding for popular words in the English language, such as book, friend or laugh, or uncommon words like biblioklept or hirquiticke?
But that doesn’t mean words don’t fall out of fashion. In 2021, nine words were decided as “historical” and removed from dictionaries. Aerodrome, for example, was determined to be deleted from the Merriam-Webster dictionary because nowadays we usually call airplane landing fields “airports.”
So who, exactly, makes the decision to remove a word from a dictionary?
The removal of dictionary words is left to lexicographers (词典编撰者), who not only decide which words to remove but also add new words and update changing definitions. Lexicographers also are responsible for adding new words. In 2022, for example, “demisexual” and “vaxxed” were added to the Oxford English Dictionary.
Truth is, it’s actually quite difficult for a word to lose its place in a dictionary. Lexicographers don’t take word-removal lightly. When a word comes into question, dictionary editors will first do series of online surveys among dictionary users. Editors then will examine its meaning, usage and popularity across many large language databases that cover a variety of frequently-used examples. Based on the survey results and collected information, lexicographers will hold rounds of formal discussions and vote for the final decision. Often, words that are removed from printed dictionaries are allowed to remain part of online dictionaries.
Despite the careful word addition and removal process, dictionaries aren’t immune to mistakes. For a time, “redripening” appeared in most dictionaries as one word, when it actually should have been “red-ripening.”
8. Why was “aerodrome” removed from the Merriam-Webster dictionary?
A. Its definition was wrong. B. It was invented long time ago.
C. It was decided by the editors. D. It wasn’t applicable to modern life.
9. Which of the following best describes the word-removal process?
A. Strict. B. Creative. C. Painful. D. Natural.
10. Why is “redrippening” mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To introduce a newly-removed word.
B. To stress the huge popularity of this word.
C. To show dictionaries sometimes make mistakes.
D. To reveal the disadvantage of the removal process.
11. What’s the suitable title for the text?
A. Who Are Lexicographers? B. Why Does a Dictionary Become Outdated?
C. What Caused Words to Change? D. How Are Words Removed from a Dictionary?
D
Spending time in nature is important for your mental health. But studies show that even just listening to birds singing can relieve conditions of anxiety and depression (抑郁).
But why is birdsong special? “As social creatures, we are born to connect to things,” says Cindy Frantz, social and environmental psychologist and chair of psychology at Oberlin College and Conservatory. “The parts of our brain that we use to form relationships with people help us build bonds with nature too — birds included. Here’s why paying attention to birdsong can make you feel strong and healthy again.”
A growing body of research suggests that birdsong is a gateway (通道) to nature’s many benefits whether you live in a rural town or a bustling city. A 2022 study published in the journal Scientific Reports highlighted the contrast between listening to the sounds of nature versus urban environments. Among 295 participants, those who listened to six minutes of birdsong through headphones reported feeling less anxious, and having a significantly better sense of mental health. And the more vibrant the birdsong, the better: Reduced depression was specifically linked to hearing a variety of species singing together compared to those who only listened to the songs of two species. Participants who listened to six minutes of traffic noise, unsurprisingly, felt more depressed.
Scientists don’t fully understand why hearing more bird species can lead to a greater health boost, but they’re hopeful that future studies will continue to explore the link.
While studies have found that recordings of birdsong benefit your mental health, Francis, a professor at Cal Poly’s biological sciences department, stresses nothing compares to experiencing the real thing. And the next time you hear birds singing, stop and appreciate the magic.
12. Why is birdsong special according to Cindy Frantz?
A. People are born to like birdsong.
B. Birdsong improves our physical health.
C. Our brain helps to build bonds with birds.
D. Birdsong is the most wonderful sound in the world.
13. What do we know about the 2022 study?
A. All participants unsurprisingly felt more depressed.
B. Participants who listened to birdsong felt reduced anxiety.
C. Participants who listened to traffic noise felt less depressed.
D. The more vibrant the birdsong, the worse sense of mental health.
14. What does Francis advise people to do?
A. Listen to traffic noise.
B. Sing songs with birds.
C. Spend time on physical health.
D. Appreciate birdsong in nature.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. 295 participants took part in a research.
B. There are many ways to relieve negative emotion.
C. Listening to birdsong is beneficial to mental health.
D. Mental health is more important than physical health.
