III. 阅读下面短文并完成其后的问题。

As technology begins to influence every aspect of our lives, it’s becoming easier and easier to

improve our living spaces to ensure that everything works towards the same goal: ensuring you

and your family can live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. From existing gadgets (小器具) to

future technology, discover how the homes of the future are going to keep you healthier than ever.

Mirror that assesses health

In the future your bathroom mirror could do a mini health check on you. It could use facial

recognition technology to pick up subtle cues (提示) about your mental state, while measuring

your breathing rate and levels of oxygen in your blood at the same time. It’s not difficult to

believe that it could give you advise on what skincare to use that day based on what your skin

looks like, and also assess your body shape and make health recommendations.

Pill bottle that senses when it’s used

We all know that medicines only work when you remember to take the right amount of them

at the right time. So smart pill bottles, which can send reminders to your phone when you’re

meant to be taking your pills and calculate ( 计 算 ) how many you’ve taken and share this

information with your doctor, could have a really positive impact on efficacy. This will benefit

caregivers and worried relatives, who want to be sure that Dad or Grandma is taking the pills they

need.

Emotionally intelligent TV and stereo (音响设备)

In the future, every aspect of our lives will be trackable, quantifiable and assessable. The

number of hours that we spend watching TV and listening to music can be tracked — and

crucially, exactly what we’re listening to and watching and how it affects our emotional

well-being. From there it is not a huge step to imagine your entertainment system analysing your

mood, asking how you want to feel and then choosing an appropriate film or piece of music.

1. What kind of technology would the smart mirror use to assess your health?

_____________________________________________________________

2. Who will get benefits from the smart pill bottle?

3. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
