Running or walking after dark, backpacking in an unfamiliar city, even taking a taxi alone in the middle of the night, can all be dangerous activities, especially for women. To offer better protection, some technology companies are looking for a way to develop or expand tools that highlight women’s safety.

In Beijing, on Jun 10, China's smart jewelry brand Totwoo launched a kit called Safety, which is expected to prevent attack on women in the country.

If the user feels threatened, pressing the button for four seconds will activate the device that will start recording for 10 seconds. Within 50 seconds, the device will telephone and send text messages to three emergency contacts to inform them, providing a location, first-aid information and audio recordings. Once a contact responds, the device shakes and lights up to inform the user. The user can disable the alarm by pressing the button three times in succession.

Around the diameter of a bottle cap, the waterproof piece of jewelry can be attached to a bag, a key or even worn as a necklace. “In Chinese culture, certain jewelry is sometimes worn as a symbol of safely. Our product brings some truth to that,” says Wang Jieming, who founded Totwoo in 2015. It makes sense that the company decided to model the jewelry in the shape of an apple, the name of which in Chinese is “ping guo”, sharing the same pronounced ping as “ping’ an”, the Chinese word for “safety”.

Cooperating with China Mobile, the small core module uses a remote SIM, by passing the need for a physical SIM card. It has certified wireless-charging technology similar to the system used by Apple. Supporting navigation systems such as GPS, Beidou and GSM base station positioning, it car provide accurate location information.

Xin Yang, head of the International Security Defense College in Beijing, a private security training school established in 2011, says an independent device can enhance women’s safety in an emergency, because “mobile phones are often the first item an attacker will attempt to grab or destroy”.

1.Which of the following is right about the device?

A.The user can make video and audio recordings with the device.

B.The device can be switched on and off within minutes.

C.The user can confirm a contacts response without text messages.

D.The device is technically supported by big companies such as Apple.

2.What is the advantage of a smart jewelry over other devices according to Xin Yang?

A.It’s easy to carry and operate. B.It looks beautiful on women.

C.It symbolizes safety in Chinese culture. D.It avoids being targeted by an attacker.

3.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of the device?

A.Doubtful. B.Favorable. C.Uncertain. D.Objective.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A.Women can be fashionable and safe.

B.A smart jewelry promotes women’s safety.

C.Women’s safety raises widespread concern.

D.Technology companies find a new way to save women.

She’s not afraid of anything. Snakes? No problem. Walking alone in the dark? Easy. We’re not talking about a superhero here -- SM is a 44-year-old mother.  And she’s fearless because she happens to be missing part of her brain: the amygdala(扁桃腺).

Shaped like a pair of almonds sitting in the middle of your brain, the amygdala helps control fear and anxiety. A rare condition called Urbach-Wiethe disease left SM without her amygdala, and seems to have completely erased her sense of fear.

To try to understand how the amygdala works, a team of researchers made their efforts to scare SM. They showed her horror movies and took her to the Waverly Hills Sanatorium Haunted House in Kentucky. She pushed out one of the monsters(巨物) and laughed. SM said she didn’t like snakes, but at a pet store full of poisonous creatures, she kept asking to touch them. When asked to rate her feelings, SM reported feeling surprised or disgusted, but never fearful.

“She tends to approach everything she should be avoiding,” says Justin Feinstein of the  University of Iowa. This means the amygdala could control deeper urges to approach or avoid danger. Other scientists have a different opinion, though.  “I don’t believe you can make a general statement about what the amygdala does by a single case study,” Elizabeth Phelps said. In 2002, Phelps published a study on a similar patient with amygdala damage who still showed fear.

It may sound like fun to be totally fearless, but we get scared for a good reason. “The nature of fear is survival and the amygdala helps us stay alive by avoiding situations, people, or objects that put our life in danger,” Feinstein said. SM was once followed in a park after dark by a man with a knife, and she simply walked away. “It is quite remarkable that she is still alive,” said Feinstein.

1.SM dares to walk alone in the dark mainly because ____________.

A. she is a superhero

B. she has experienced such conditions a lot

C. she is a mental patient

D. she has no sense of fear

2.Researchers tried their best to frighten SM in order to find ___________.

A. The function of a particular organ

B. SM’s reaction of fear and anxiety

C. The process of removing amygdale

D. A special way to get along with monsters

3.What do we know from the research on SM?

A. It was easy for her to avoid danger.

B. SM never felt fearful but disgusted.

C. SM was frightened by nothing except monsters.

D. SM got along well with the snakes.

4.What is Elizabeth Phelps’ attitude toward the function of the amygdala based on the research on SM?

A. Indifferent    B. Supportive    C. Disapproving     D. Interested

5.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. People can remove their amygdala to be fearless.

B. SM will be admired because of her bravery.

C. No one can survive if their amygdala is removed.

D. The sense of fear is crucial to humans.
