【题目】Don’t you just hate it when you have to take an important phone call and you’re finding somebody is listening to you? You either have to keep your voice down or go outside to keep the conversation private, which is not exactly ideal(理想的). Now, a new product can help you.

Hushme is a high-tech mark(口罩) that can block the sound of the wearer’s voice so that people nearby can’t hear what is being said. It connects to your phone with Bluetooth and comes with a pair of earphones. When you get a private call, all you have to do is to put the mask on and it will do the rest.

The Hushme mask, which has different kinds of colors, can be worn around the neck, and in front of your mouth. It’s not yet clear how comfortable speaking with this Bane-like mask over your mouth really is, or how well it works. We know so far is that it makes you look strange.

The sound choices for covering your voice currently include wind, ocean, rain, birds, monkey, squirrel(松鼠), R2D2, laughing Minion6 and Darth Vader breath. And new ones could be added in the future.

You could also always use Hushme to protect your ears from loud noise from the co-workers at the office. Just put this small product over their mouths and you can get on with your work.

Hushme was on show at the beginning of this year. Its makers plan to start selling it by the end of the year. It will cost around $200.

【题目】It happens every night — bedtime. But what if you’re not sleepy? Should you still go to bed if you are just going to lie there with your eyes wide open?

There are many reasons why you are not able to fall asleep. You might be excited by something you did that day. You might be excited about what you’re going to do next day. Maybe you can’t fall asleep because you don’ t like sleeping all alone in your room. All of these reasons are normal . However, there are some steps you can take to help you fall asleep.

One thing that can help is talking to a parent or another trusted adult about what you’re thinking about at bedtime. For example, if you’re nervous about taking a test, or unhappy about being laughed at school, it can really help to tell somebody. Knowing that somebody has heard you can help ease (宽慰) your mind so that you can rest.

It also helps to sleep in a comfortable bed in a quiet and cool room. If there’s anything in your room that makes you feel afraid at night, like a picture that looks strange in the dark, be sure to ask one of your parents if it can be moved.

If you are usually sleepless around bedtime, doing certain things to relax beforehand (预先) may help you fall asleep when you go to bed. For example, take a warm bath, or listen to a story at least 30 minutes before you want to go to sleep. It also helps to go to sleep at the same time every night. As a result, your body will get the message that it’s almost time to sleep.
