You've got your fancy new suitcase and you're ready to take it with you on your travels across the globe.
You get to the airport, quickly moving through the crowds on the uneven pavement, rushing to check in. Then, your heart sinks when you realize your new suitcase has got a serious case of the wobble (摇晃).
Why does this happen?
Scientists from Paris Diderot University in France investigated this matter and published their findings in the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society. They also suggested some solutions to overcome this modernday problem.
To learn more about the issue, they put a suitcase on a treadmill (跑步机) and observed what happened.
It was soon noted that the “wobble” was actually a result of repeated actions that caused the suitcase to sway from side to side. They discovered that if one of the wheels encountered an obstacle such as a small bump, it jumped into the air for just a moment and then banged back down to the ground. That second action caused the opposite wheel to lift off the ground and then to bang back down, causing the first to lift again and so on. This swaying increased as the luggage was pulled along.
“The suitcase is a fun way to tackle the problem, but the study would be the

same for any trolley with two wheels or blades (桨叶),” Sylvain Courrech du Pont, lead author of the study, told BBC News. “So it will be the same for a caravan (大篷车) or maybe also for airplanes.”
Instead of slowing down when we see a rocky part of the path, the scientists recommended doing the exact opposite and speeding up. This is because going faster gives the wheels less time to rise and fall, preventing the case from swaying. They also said that reducing the angle of the suitcase by lowering its handle to the ground would help keep it steady.
“These findings could help researchers simulate and design better rolling suitcases and other pulled trolleys, such as towed trailers,” Courrech du Pont added.
With these masterminds (智者) working on perfecting our suitcase problems, wobbly luggage may soon be a thing of history, leaving us to enjoy our travels.
【语篇解读】 我们在日常生活中会遇到行李箱晃动的问题,科学家发现这是因为当行李箱遇到障碍时,一系列反复的动作会导致行李箱摇晃,而解决这一问题的方法是用更快的速度拉行李箱或降低拉杆的角度。
4.The main purpose of the first two paragraphs is to ________.
A.show the importance of a good wheeled suitcase for travel
B.lead up to the wobbling problem of wheeled suitcases
C.describe how unstable wheeled suitcases can be
D.show that wobbling can cause wheeled suitcases to stop working
解析:选B 写作意图题。第一、二段举了一个例子:当你在颠簸不平的路上急匆匆穿过人群时,你的行李箱会摇晃得厉害。其主要目的是引入行李箱的晃动问题。故选B。
5.According to the scientists, when a suitcase meets with an obstacle, ________.
A.the swaying will stop for a moment
B.its two wheels will jump into the air at the same time
C.even a small obstacle can lead to a serious damage
D.there is a series of repeated actions leading to the swaying
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第六段第一句“It was soon noted that the ‘wobble’ was actually a result of repeated actions that caused the suitcase to sway from side to side.”可知,科学家发现当行李箱遇到障碍物时,一系列的反复动作会导致行李箱左右摇摆。故选D。
6.What can be done to keep a suitcase steady on an uneven path according to the text?
- 5 -
A.Slowing down.
B.Pulling the suitcase at a faster speed.
C.Raising the handle of the suitcase.
D.Increasing the angle of the suitcase.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段前两句“Instead of slowing down when we see a rocky part of the path, the scientists recommended doing the exact opposite and speeding up.This is because going faster gives the wheels less time to rise and fall, preventing the case from swaying.”可知,行走的速度越快,轮子上升和下降的时间就越少,这样一来就防止了箱子晃动。所以使行李箱在不平坦的道路上保持平稳的方法是用更快的速度拉行李箱。故选B。
7.According to the article, the findings could ________.
A.help improve the design of suitcases
B.solve the wobble of suitcases completely
C.be helpful in the advancement of treadmills
D.be used to develop blades for boats
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With these masterminds(智者)working on perfecting our suitcase problems,wobbly luggage may soon be a thing of history,leaving us to enjoy our travels.”可知,随着这些智者不断完善我们的行李箱,摇摇晃晃的行李箱可能很快就会成为历史。即这项发现将有利于改进行李箱的设计。故选A。

Do you want to become the one who always knows what to do?
