Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush and it lets you track your performance on your phone.The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for example, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart and fun,” Serval says.Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, from $99 to $199, and the U.S. is the first target market.8．All of the following statements are wrong except ____________.A．It can sense how users brush their teeth.B．It can track users’ school performance.C．It can check users’ fear of seeing a dentist.D．It can help users find their phones.9．What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3?A．You will find it meaningful to see a dentist.B．You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis.C．You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.D．You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.10．What does the underlined sentence mean?A．You can use the toothbrush to update mobile phones.B．You can play games by using the tooth brush .C．Brushing teeth can kill some bacteria(细菌) in the mouth.D．Brushing teeth helps to play games better.11．What can we infer about Serval’s children?A．They were unwilling to brush their teeth.B．They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.C．They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.D．They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.D    Influenced by their families and society, many youths are infatuated with expensive famous brands. But not every youth is as rich as a millionaire and people are getting worried about this.According to a recent survey, one out of five pupils wears clothes of well-known brands, including a belt worth 560 Yuan, more than an ordinary worker’s salary. Among the 100 middle school students surveyed, as many as 70 own famous-brand clothes, 60 have famous-brand watches and 45 possess famous-brand bicycles. Two of them even wear over 1500 Yuan worth of suits.Most young people who come from ordinary families will try to steal money to have better food and clothing if their parents don’t satisfy their needs. A boy named Chen even killed another boy simply for 500 Yuan and was sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment.People wonder how these teenagers can be independent in the future, while parents are calling for help from schools, governments and the society.12．Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A．More than 50 percent of the students surveyed possess things of famous brands.B．An ordinary worker owns less than 560 Yuan each month.C．Suits may cost as much as 1500 Yuan.D．Young people now are as rich as millionaires.13．As a result, the boy mentioned in the passage will______.A．steal money for better food and clothingB．kill another boy for 500 YuanC．stay in prison for nine yearsD．ask his parents to satisfy his needs14．From whom are the parents calling for help?A．The governments B．The schoolsC．The society D．All the above15．The best title for the passage would be_________.A．Youths Run After Famous Brands.B．Youths Should Own More MoneyC．Youths As Rich As MillionairesD．Youths Must Be Taken Good Care of第二节  （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Several things Beijing offers do during wintertimeIn winter, Beijing offers the city’s fun-seekers many appealing options, from royal gardens to winter resorts.
