Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to promise 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 (发射器) passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves(应得), 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 in 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 (自动地) 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 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.According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to _____.

A．keep a record of the steps of the wearer.

B．deal with overweight among teenagers.

C．enable children to resist (抵制) the attraction of TV.

D．prevent children from being tricked by TV programs.

C．They have raised the hot issue of overweight.

D．They contain information of the receiver.

3.Compared with other similar products, the new design ___.

A．sends teenagers' health data(数据) to the receiver.

B．counts the wearer's steps through shaking.

C．records the sudden movement of the wearer.

D．make it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight

B．Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise

C．Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise

The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist. The problem he has is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”

This is both encouraging and discouraging. The fact that we were all born to be artists is certainly exciting, and yet the reality has proven that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed.

Fortunately, some people have seen the problem and want to solve it.

Western educators have suggested that we introduce the concept of “STEAM” instead of “STEM” - traditional “core majors” including science, technology, engineering, and math -since the “A”, which stands for “arts”, is just as important.

And on April 11, China’s Ministry of Education issued a guideline. Colleges and universities are required to provide more art-related courses and students need to earn a certain number of art credits in order to graduate.

These efforts came after many scientific studies had found that art education helps students develop self-confidence and teamwork skills, as well as habits of mind such as problem solving and critical thinking, according to The Washington Post.

It’s true that none of these skills target specific jobs. But as former US ballet dancer Damian

Woetzel told The Atlantic, the purpose of art is “to give kids the tools to become adults who are creative, adaptable, and expressive - capable of having their eyes and ears and senses alive”.And we can now see how we lost track of our born “artist self” on our way to growing up: We failed to keep our capabilities to see, hear and feel, and became blind, deaf and insensitive adults.

Hopefully, art education can help turn things around.

1.What is the function of the first paragraph?

A.To introduce a famous artist. B.To summarize the whole passage.

C.To lead in the topic. D.To encourage us to be artists.

2.Why should the concept of “STEAM” be introduced according to western educators?

A.Art is as important as traditional “core majors”.

B.All of us should learn art in college.

C.Traditional “core majors” are out of date.

D.Western education is more helpful.

3.What can we predict from the guideline issued by China’s Ministry of education?

A.More art-related courses will appear in all schools.

B.College students will have to gain enough art credits to graduate.

C.More students will major in art at colleges and universities.

D.Art will become much more important than science.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Every child is an artist B.Bringing art to life

C.Learning from the artists D.Life is art
