In Japan, the latest time-saving invention is a dog-washing machine．Dog owners can buy one for their dogs．They can save time by putting their dogs in the machine and then 33minutes later，a clean，fresh-smelling dog comes out．
The machine becomes more and more popular. The sales of the dog-washer are increasing. The machines save a lot of money for pet owners．However，it's bad news for pet hospitals because they are losing many customers．
The washing machine has many advantages. First, the whole cleaning process includes a shampoo （洗发），rinse （冲洗） and blow-dry．Second, tests showed that dogs enjoyed the wash and were very happy when the blow-dryer started working．Third, the most important is that the makers of the machine say it's very safe and does not harm dogs in any way．
One dog-owner，Michiko Kobayashi，loves her new machine．She said her dog was happy, too．Michiko explained to the reporters，"Before I bought my washer，I only took my dog to the pet hospital a few times a year．Now，I wash her every week and she looks great．I also save a lot of money．"
It is welcomed by most people who raise dogs. And it takes over the market quickly. What a beautiful invention!

For those who haven t heard of it，the Apple watch is the latest invention from the creators of the iPhone and Apple Mac. As the name suggests，this creation is a device（装置）designed to tell us the time. This is Apple，however，and an Apple watch is never just a watch. Not only does it show us the time，but it also acts as a fitness monitor and a messaging device that can be connected with an iPhone.
Is this a smart invention or technology gone too far? While the Apple watch is stylish in appearance，I cant help but question certain aspects（方面）of the new device. Is it a positive thing to be able to receive messages through a watch，or is this another way of letting technology upset our social lives?
Thanks to the invention of the smartwatch，we will no longer have to reach for our phones to check our messages. Imagine the possible results. A group of friends sitting at a table in a restaurant will overlook each other as everyone will be too busy watching their wrists in expectation of a new message. Students will have a way of checking their inbox during school，despite the fact that using mobile phones is not allowed in class. The list goes on. Although smartwatches may make communicating through technology easier, it seems that using them could actually hinder face to face communication.
Much like a phone，the watch would also need to be charged（充电）every day. This is yet another aspect of the device which sets it apart from any“normal" watch. If, like me，you struggle when remembering to put your phone on charge，this is not necessarily a positive thing.
I do have to agree，however, the watch has some interesting and purposeful functions（功能） As a fitness monitor, the device can be used to create and record exercise activities. This could be of particular interest to outdoor fans. While there are several existing Android Apps that can already do this，I can see that the Apple watch would be a more convenient way of exercising without a mobile phone. The question remains，however, is the price worth the benefits?
While there are clearly both advantages and disadvantages when it comes to Apple s latest invention，I personally like my single-purpose watch that simply tells me the time！What about you?
Would you be interested in having a smartwatch?
1.Thanks to the invention of the Apple watch，
A. students don t use computers in class

C. messages can be checked without phones

3.From the passage，we can team that the writer

B. thinks highly of the progress of technology
C. introduces the newest kind of smartphones
D. prefers single-purpose watches that tell the time
4.What is probably the best title for this passage?

B. The Apple Watch：Smart and Fashionable
C. The Apple Watch：Technology Gone Too Far?
D. The Apple Watch：A Convenient Way to Exercise?

An invention in front of your eyes
What is the most important invention of all time? Is it the written word that helps us to record information? Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people from all over the world? Is it the car that lets us travel at great speeds to meet others? Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, thinks it is something quite different. He says the most important invention might be bright in front of your eyes. He is talking about a simple pair glasses.
Modern eye glasses were invented around 1000 years ago. They were more than just a convenient way to read. Before glasses, writers, scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to memorize everything. After about ten years of poor eyesight, they could not remember well enough and could not work. Glasses meant that people could work in their old age.
People who wanted to remember some information could write it down and read it. Eye glasses are one of the world’s greatest inventions and were probably worn by the people who designed the first telephones and cars.
