C.An Effective Approach D.A Valuable Lesson C
How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Serval says.
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for D|S99 to D|S199, depending on features. The U.S. is the first target market.
Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera.The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush. 28. Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun? A.It can be used to update mobile phones. B.It can be used to play mobile phone games. C.It can send messages to other users. D.It can talk to its developers.
29.What can we infer about Serval’s children? A.They were unwilling to brush their teeth. B.They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.
C.They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head. D.They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.
30.What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree? A.The brush handle will be removed. B.A mobile phone will be built into it. C.It will be used to fill holes in teeth. D.It will be able to check users’ teeth. 31. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.How Serval found out his kids lied to him.
B.Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary. C.How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth. D.What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush.
D
Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires — not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes. Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already
swamped (淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They_live_in_too_big_a_house_with_too_many_rooms,_yet_their_house_of_life_is_a_hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅), a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them,they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.
Whateve r rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding. 32.The author intends to tell us that ________.
A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means B.big houses are people's most valued possessions C.big houses can in a sense bring richness of life D.true happiness comes from spiritual riches
33.It can be learned from the passage that________. A.more money brings more happiness
B.art is needed to make your house beautiful C.literature can enrich your spiritual life
D.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness 34.What would be the best title for the passage? A.House of Life B.Secret of Wealth
C.Rest and Refreshment D.Interest and Enthusiasm
35.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that ________. A.however materially rich, they never seem to he satisfied B.however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor C.though their house is big, they prefer a simple life D.though their house is big, it seems to be a cage
