    Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.
    The shoes — named Square Eyes — contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter(传话器) passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.
    The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says. “And I wanted to tackle that with my design.”
    Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
    Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.
    Existing pedometers （计步器） normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.”

    1. 1.

        keep a record of the steps of the wearer
      2. B.
        deal with overweight among teenagers
      3. C.
        enable children to resist the temptation of TV
      4. D.
        prevent children from being tricked by TV programs
    2. 2.

      Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?

        They determine a child’s daily pocket money.
      3. C.
        They have raised the hot issue of overweight.
      4. D.
        They contain information of the receiver.
    3. 3.

      What is stressed（强调）by health experts in their suggestion?

      1. A.
        The exact number of steps to be taken.
      2. B.
        The precise number of hours spent on TV.

        The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.

    In Greek mythology（神话）, the gods punished Sisyphus by forcing him to roll a rock up a steep hill for eternity（来世）. But he was probably better off than if they’d forced him to sit and stare into space until the end of time, conclude the authors of a new study on keeping busy. They found that people who have something to do, even something pointless, are happier than people who sit around.
    “The general phenomenon I’m interested in is why people are too busy doing what they are doing in modern society,” says Christopher K. Hsee, of the University of Chicago. “People are running around, working hard, the way beyond the basic level.” Sure, there are reasons, like making a living, earning money, and so on. But, Hsee says, “I think there’s something deeper: We have extra energy and we want to avoid idleness.”
    In a study 98 students were asked to complete two surveys. After they had completed the first they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to. Whichever option they chose, they received a chocolate bar. Not everyone chose to go to the faraway location. Two-thirds chose the lazy option. Yet those who chose to stay busy by going to the faraway location were found to be happier than those who had stayed put.
    But if the chocolate bars offered at the  two locations were different, they were more likely to choose the far location—because they could make up a good and acceptable reason for the trip, Hsee and his colleagues say.
    Hsee thinks it may be possible to use this principle—people like being busy, and they like being able to show being busy right or reasonable—to benefit society. “If we can find a way for idle people to engage in activity that is at least not harmful, I think it is better than destructive business,” he says. Hsee himself has been known to  give a research assistant a useless task when he doesn’t have anything to do, so he isn’t sitting around the office getting bored and depressed.

        keep their energy at the basic level
      3. C.

      4. D.

    Forget chip fat, sugar cane or rapeseed oil — the latest source of biofuel could be watermelons. Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled (蒸馏) into alcohol to power cars and farm machinery.
    And sellers reject 360,000 tons of “substandard” fruit every year in America alone which could be used as an economical way to make fuel. The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons (nine million litres) of biofuel per year.
    In the study, researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel potential of juice from rejected watermelons —those not sold due to cosmetic imperfections, and currently ploughed back into the field. About a fifth of each yearly watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes (瑕疵) or because they are misshapen.
    Dr. Wayne Fish, who led the team, found that 50 percent of the fruit was fermentable (可发酵的) into alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.
    “We’ve shown that the juice of these watermelons is a source of readily fermentable sugars, representing an unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production,” he said.
    The study, published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels, discovered that watermelons could produce around 20 gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.
    Production of biofuels has been targeted by Western governments as a way to support renewable energy targets.
    The European Union has a target for 2010 that 5.75 percent of transport fuels should come from biological sources, but the target is unlikely to be met.
    The British government’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five percent of the fuel sold at the pump by 2010 to be biofuel.

    1. 1.

      The passage mainly tells us ______.

      1. A.
        watermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable energy
      2. B.
        the advantages of fuel made from watermelons
      3. C.
        Western countries aim at producing biofuels
      4. D.
        watermelons could be used to make fuel
    2. 2.

      It can be learned from the text that ______.

      1. A.
        about two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acre
      2. B.
        sellers in the world throw away 360,000 tons of watermelons every year
      3. C.
        half of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energy
      4. D.
        five percent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermelons by 2010 in Britain
    3. 3.

      The underlined word “cosmetic” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.

      1. A.
        fresh
      2. B.

      3. C.
        surface
      4. D.
        inside
    4. 4.

      We can infer from the passage that ______.

      1. A.
        it will cost a lot to make biofuel from watermelons
      2. B.
        Western countries are engaged in biofuel study but still have a long way to go
      3. C.
        watermelon juice has been used as a source of sugars to produce alcohol biofuel
      4. D.
        the European Union is likely to meet its target of transport fuels from biological sources
