3．Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant （保证；授权）time in front of the television have been invented in the UK．
    The shoes 一 named Square Eyes一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 deal with 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 exactly one minute of TV time．
    Existing pedometers （计步器）normally clip （夹在）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．"

41．According to Swan，the purpose of her design project is toB．
A．keep a record of the steps of the wearer
B．deal with overweight among teenagers
C．enable children to resist the temptation of TV

C．They have raised the hot issue of overweight．

7．At the risk of sounding lazy，I'll just be honest：I used to hate making my bed．Why should I bother？I'm just going to get right back into it later，and no one except my immediate family will see it．
But something I read last week in Charles Duhigg's"The Power of Habit"changed my mind．According to Duhigg，making your bed every morning is connected with better productivity and sticking to a budget．It has also been suggested that making your bed promotes happiness．My interest was attracted．
According to Duhigg，making your bed is something called a keystone habit．Changing or forming keystone habits helps you develop other good habits．
I figured that I was the perfect test case for the Make Your Bed to Achieve Happiness Theory and that it was worth a try．So far I've made my bed for 10days in a row．And here's what I've noticed：Making my bed inspires my children to make their beds，clean their rooms and do the laundry and the dishes．
Karen Miller，author of"Hand Wash Cold"，explains："The state of your bed is the state of your head．"I think she is on to something．When I leave my bed in a heap （一堆），I leave the bedroom feeling defeated by my bed，my alarm clock，and my general sleepy mood．I'm reluctant to get the day started．
But when I look at my freshly made bed，I have to admit it：I smile a little．I feel just a bit more motivated．Productive，even．But sticking to a budget？That part is still up for debate．I just bought some beautiful pillows for my freshly made bed．I can't leave that beautiful bed half-dressed，can I？

A．Curious．   B．Regretful．
C．Lucky．     D．Unwilling．

B．It helps save money．
C．It promotes communication．
D．It makes a difference in life．
14．Black History Month is also known as the African-American History Month．It is celebrated all over the United States of America and Canada in the month of February，while in the United Kingdom it is celebrated in October．Each and every school and university conducts various activities to make the generation aware of the importance that African-American history holds in the nation．The electronic media is filled with themes in relevance to the occasion，and many activities are carried out across the country to remember the contribution made by African-American citizens in the development of this nation．
Black History Month was first started by a famous African-American historian Dr．Carter G．Woodson in the year 1926．February was chosen as the month to celebrate the African-American history because it was the birth month of two of the most highly valued people among African-Americans．These were President Abraham Lincoln，who freed the slaves，and Frederick Douglass，who was also the first vice presidential nominee （被任命者） among African-Americans．Initially，Black History Month was known as the"Negro History Week"．This was Dr．Woodson's attempt to encourage awareness among citizens about the contribution of African-Americans towards the building of the nation．It was only in the early 1970's that the name"Negro History Week"changed to"Black History Month"．And later，in the year 1976，the entire month of February was declared to be the National African-American History M onth，or the Black History Month．
Every year，National African-American History Month is celebrated by many activities with various ideas and themes for the younger generation．In 2013，Black History Month celebrates the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington at which Martin Luther King，Jr．gave his famous speech"I have a dream"．It also marks the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation （解放黑奴宣言）．The theme for Black History Month in 2014 is"Civil Rights in America"remembering the important milestones by African-Americans and others in the battle for civil rights and equal treatment under the law．
