For light sleepers
Millions of people have trouble falling asleep each night, which is why Light Sleeper was created.
Developed in the United Kingdom, Light Sleeper's makers say it can help a person fall asleep and also help a person fall back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.
Light Sleeper works by projecting (投射) a light onto the ceiling while the person is lying down. The idea is to watch the light, because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect.
One of the advantages of the product is that it won't disturb other people in the room. The product can be easily moved and will switch itself off after 30 minutes to save power.
Stop the snoring (打鼾)
Here's a new product designed to slow down the frequency and level of your snoring. The Snore Stopper has a sensitive instrument that will detect when you're snoring. Once it does that, it will send a very mild electronic signal to your wrist. This consequently changes your sleeping position to stop you from snoring. The Snore Stopper; won't cause any damage to your body.
Get your true colors
Photoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring onscreen to use as a color in your program. Now an off-line product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software.
The Color Picker is a concept pen. After placing the pen against an object, the user just presses the scan button. Color sensors (感应器) inside the pen send information to a box, which then mixes red, green and blue to produce the desired ink color.
Keep it fresh
More high technology products are showing up in the kitchen. A new Bagel dome (圆顶形物) advertises that it will keep your baked goods fresher for longer periods of time.

23、 This story starts with my two kids. We were hiking in the Oakland woods when my daughter noticed some plastic litter in a creek. She looked at me and said, "Daddy? That doesn’t go there”.
When she said that, it reminded me of my summer camp. On the morning of that camping day, right before they’d let our anxious parents come through the gates, our camp director would say Quick! Everyone pick up five pieces of litter, "We got one hundred kids each picking up five pieces, and pretty soon, we got a much cleaner camp. So I thought, why not apply that crowdsourced cleanup model to the entire planet? And that was the inspiration for Literati. The goal is to create a litter-free world. Let me show you how it started. I took a picture of a cigarette using Instagram.
Then I took another photo. and another. And at the end of a few days, I had 50 photos on my hone and I had picked up each piece, and I realized that I was keeping a record of the positive impact I was having on the planet. That’s 50 fewer things you might see, or you might step on, or some bird might eat. So I started telling people what I was doing, and they started participating. I realized that Litterati was more than just pretty pictures; we were becoming a community that was collecting data. Each photo tells a story. It tells us who picked up what, a geo-tag tells us where and a time stamp tells us when. Gradually, the community grew.
Litter —it's blending into the back ground of our lives. But what if we brought it to the fore front? What if we understood exactly what was on our streets, our sidewalks and our school yards?
How might we use that data to make a difference?
【1】From the text we can tell Litterati is probably_______
A. a hi-tech company B. a reading software
C. a non-profit app D. a well-known magazine
【2】What does the author suggest by mentioning the inspiration from the camping director?
A. Many hands make light work. B. A good beginning is half done
C. Birds of a feather flock together. D. A candle lights others and consumes itself.
【3】What are the paragraphs following the text likely to deal with?
A. To present the reasons for so much litter
B. To appeal to people to use garbage classification.
C. To tell readers what measures to take to handle litter
D. To show more statistics about what they have done with litter
24、 The final bell rings at a high school in downtown Los Angeles. Nearly every student walking out of the school gate studies a screen, with their head bowed down. Over the past decade, such scenes have become quite common — at least in the United Sates. Research indicates that American millennials look at their phones 150 times a day on average.
In the meantime, the number of American teenagers reporting feelings of depression has grown significantly. Some people blame the increase on the Great Recession following 2008 and other social changes. However, a big new study suggests a different explanation —the rise of social media. Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, led the study.
With data collected from more than 50,000 American teenagers, she found that those who spent lots of time on social media were more likely to agree with remarks such as “The future often seems hopeless.” Those who used screens less, spending time playing sports or socializing with friends in person, were less likely to report feelings of depression.
This, in fact, is not the first time that scientists have found that social media can rob people of their happiness. One study published in 2016 asked a randomly selected group of adults to quit Facebook for a week. It turned out that they reported feeling less depressed at the end of the week than those who continued using it.
Some research, however, suggests that social-networking sites can promote happiness if used to engage directly with other users, rather than just to feel jealous of happy moments someone shares online. This provides a reminder that it is users’ attitudes that shape their experiences on social media.“I often remind myself that it's all filtered," reflects Sarah, a junior at the high school in Los Angeles. “People only post what they want you to see, so it can seem that their life is superior to yours.” But when asked if she has ever considered deleting her social media accounts, Sarah looks confused.“No. I would feel lost.”
【1】What is the topic of the passage?
A.Feelings of depression. B.The rise of social media.
C.Addiction to recreation. D.The use of smart phones.
【2】What can we learn from the two studies in paragraph 3 and 4?
A.Sports and socialization are supposed to be encouraged.
B.Most American teenagers have sunk into hopelessness.
C.Social media have negative effects on people's feelings.
D.People are not in a position to live without social media.
【3】According to Sarah, what is the right attitude to others’ happy moments shared online?
A.Jealous. B.Critical. C.Concerned. D.Tolerant.
