Picking a smartwatch isn’t as simple as buying the best-lking r mst feature- packed ne yu can find. T make things easier fr yu, I tested nearly every flagship smartwatch available ver the curse f fur mnths t make sure I wasn’t leaving any stne unturned. Here are sme f my best picks.
Apple Watch Series 9 GPS
The Series 9 came ut in September. I’ve been using it fr several mnths, and the experience is nearly identical t last year's Series 8, but it has sme minr imprvements that’ll help it stand the test f time a bit lnger. It has duble brightness f Series 8, new gesture- based cntrls that dn’ t require yu t tuch the screen, and Siri cmmands are nw prcessed right n the device rather than sent t the clud.
Garmin Venu 2 Plus
If yu’re nt sure whether yu can cmmit t Andrid r iOS fr mre than a year r tw, r yu like t lean heavily int the fitness aspect f wearables, get Garmin’s Venu 2 Plus. Its fitness tracking is hard t beat, with ptins fr cardi, HIIT, yga, Pilates, glfing, cycling, and swimming, plus all the basics fr health tracking.
Apple Watch Ultra 2
Cmpared with the Series 9, the Ultra 2 has bigger screen, lnger battery life, mre durable design, and additinal Actin Buttn fr quickly triggering wrkuts. Hwever, I dn’t think the price pint merits a best-in-class designatin. The Ultra 2 has an Actin Buttn n the left side f the display. Yu can prgram it t quickly start a wrkut, timer, the watch’s flashlight mde, r run a custm Shrtcut autmatin.
The Series 9 is still an excellent ptin fr mst smartwatch users, but the Ultra 2’s additinal adjustments make it wrthwhile fr anyne wh truly swears by getting things dne n their wrist.
21. What advantage des the Apple Watch Series 9 have ver the Series 8?
A. Lwer Price.B. Brighter display.C. Lnger battery life.D. Larger clud strage.
22. Which smartwatch mdel is praised fr its fitness tracking capabilities?
A. Garmin Venu 2 Plus.B. Apple Watch Ultra 2.
C. Apple Watch Series 8.D. Apple Watch Series 9 GPS.
23. What functin can be triggered by the Actin Buttn n the Ultra 2?
A. Checking heart rate.B. Adjusting weather settings.
C. Changing watch faces. D. Starting flashlight mde.

With the Asia leg f her tur kicking ff yesterday- starting in Japan-experts have predicted that similar ecnmic bsts will ensue. Accrding t Tky City University lecturer Mitsumasa Etu, Swift is expected t generate up t 34.1 billin yen. Etu named the tur Japan’s “biggest ever musical event in terms f predicted ecnmic impact.”
Fr cuntries like Singapre, swiftnmics present an pprtunity t bst mre than just their ecnmy; accrding t Singapre University Assciate Prfessr Lau Kng Cheen. the Eras Tur cncerts breathes new life int the cuntry s reputatin in terms f turism. Cheen said the ripple effect f the tur makes them lk “mdern, pen-minded, and vibrant” Experts say the cuntry’s turism levels are rising, reaching abut 80% f pre-pandemic levels.
The level f spending, engagement, viewership and verall impact that Taylr Swift ha generated cntinues t reach unexplred heights, and it’s clear that many crpratins and cuntries have prfited ff her glbal appeal.

Many f us are familiar with the excitement f planning a vacatin t an extic destinatin. As the departure date appraches, anticipatin builds, and the pssibilities seem endless. Hwever, upn returning hme, the experience ften fades quickly as we settle back int ur rutines. That incredible experience becmes like a dream — similar t watching a mvie, but a lt mre expensive.

The innvatin is part f research int brain-cmputer interfaces (接口) t help imprve the lives f peple with mtr disabilities. The researchers included machine learning capabilities with their brain-cmputer interface, making it a ne-size-fits-all slutin.
Typically, these devices require extensive adjustment fr each user- every brain is different, bth fr healthy and disabled users- and that has been a majr hurdle t mainstream adptin. This new slutin can quickly understand the needs f an individual subject and self-adjust thrugh repetitin. That means multiple patients culd use the device withut needing t tune it t the individual.
In a clinical setting, the subjects wear a cap packed with electrdes (电极) that is cnnected t a cmputer. The electrdes gather data by measuring electrical signals frm the brain, and the decder translates the brain signals int cmmands, which are used t cntrl devices r applicatins. In this case, the decded signals are translated int actins in a car racing game and a simpler task invlving balancing a digital bar. Subjects were trained simultaneusly fr bth the simpler bar game and the mre cmplex car racing game, thus imprving their brain functin.
The researchers call this wrk fundatinal, in that it sets the stage fr further brain-cmputer interface innvatin. This prject used 18 subjects with n mtr disabilities. As they cntinue dwn this rad, they will test this n peple with mtr disabilities t apply it t larger grups in clinical settings. “T achieve this, we need t imprve ur technlgy t make it easier t use,’ Millan. a prfessr in the University f Texas says.
On the side f translating the research, Millan and his team cntinue t wrk n a wheelchair that users can drive with the brain- cmputer interface. At the Suth by Suthwest Cnference and Festivals this mnth, the researchers shwed ff anther ptential use f the technlgy. cntrlling tw rehabilitatin (康复) rbts fr the hand and arm. This was nt part f the new paper but a sign f where this technlgy culd g in the future. “We’ll cntinue dwn this path wherever it takes us in the pursuit f helping peple.” Millan says.
32. Wh will benefit the mst frm the Brain-Cmputer Interface innvatin?
A. Peple with physical disabilities.B. Businessmen selling wheelchairs.
C. Students seeking academic imprvement.D. Athletes seeking perfrmance enhancement.
33. What is the main advantage f the new slutin?
A. Faster adjustment prcess.B. Decreased need fr tuning.
C. Imprved mainstream adptin.D. Quick understanding f cmmands.
34. What is the functin f electrdes?
A. Translating signals.B. Measuring brain signals.
C. Cntrlling devices.D. Enhancing brain functin.
35. What is the prbable fcus f Millan and his team’s future wrk?
A. Explring hand and arm rehabilitatin.
B. Shwcasing technlgy at cnferences.
C. Translating and publishing research papers.
D. Enhancing brain- cmputer interface technlgy.

Picking a smartwatch isn’t as simple as buying the best-lking r mst feature- packed ne yu can find. T make things easier fr yu, I tested nearly every flagship smartwatch available ver the curse f fur mnths t make sure I wasn’t leaving any stne unturned. Here are sme f my best picks.
Apple Watch Series 9 GPS
The Series 9 came ut in September. I’ve been using it fr several mnths, and the experience is nearly identical t last year's Series 8, but it has sme minr imprvements that’ll help it stand the test f time a bit lnger. It has duble brightness f Series 8, new gesture- based cntrls that dn’ t require yu t tuch the screen, and Siri cmmands are nw prcessed right n the device rather than sent t the clud.
Garmin Venu 2 Plus
If yu’re nt sure whether yu can cmmit t Andrid r iOS fr mre than a year r tw, r yu like t lean heavily int the fitness aspect f wearables, get Garmin’s Venu 2 Plus. Its fitness tracking is hard t beat, with ptins fr cardi, HIIT, yga, Pilates, glfing, cycling, and swimming, plus all the basics fr health tracking.
Apple Watch Ultra 2
Cmpared with the Series 9, the Ultra 2 has bigger screen, lnger battery life, mre durable design, and additinal Actin Buttn fr quickly triggering wrkuts. Hwever, I dn’t think the price pint merits a best-in-class designatin. The Ultra 2 has an Actin Buttn n the left side f the display. Yu can prgram it t quickly start a wrkut, timer, the watch’s flashlight mde, r run a custm Shrtcut autmatin.
The Series 9 is still an excellent ptin fr mst smartwatch users, but the Ultra 2’s additinal adjustments make it wrthwhile fr anyne wh truly swears by getting things dne n their wrist.
21. What advantage des the Apple Watch Series 9 have ver the Series 8?
A. Lwer Price.B. Brighter display.C. Lnger battery life.D. Larger clud strage.
22. Which smartwatch mdel is praised fr its fitness tracking capabilities?
A. Garmin Venu 2 Plus.B. Apple Watch Ultra 2.
C. Apple Watch Series 8.D. Apple Watch Series 9 GPS.
23. What functin can be triggered by the Actin Buttn n the Ultra 2?
A. Checking heart rate.B. Adjusting weather settings.

The innvatin is part f research int brain-cmputer interfaces (接口) t help imprve the lives f peple with mtr disabilities. The researchers included machine learning capabilities with their brain-cmputer interface, making it a ne-size-fits-all slutin.
Typically, these devices require extensive adjustment fr each user- every brain is different, bth fr healthy and disabled users- and that has been a majr hurdle t mainstream adptin. This new slutin can quickly understand the needs f an individual subject and self-adjust thrugh repetitin. That means multiple patients culd use the device withut needing t tune it t the individual.
In a clinical setting, the subjects wear a cap packed with electrdes (电极) that is cnnected t a cmputer. The electrdes gather data by measuring electrical signals frm the brain, and the decder translates the brain signals int cmmands, which are used t cntrl devices r applicatins. In this case, the decded signals are translated int actins in a car racing game and a simpler task invlving balancing a digital bar. Subjects were trained simultaneusly fr bth the simpler bar game and the mre cmplex car racing game, thus imprving their brain functin.
The researchers call this wrk fundatinal, in that it sets the stage fr further brain-cmputer interface innvatin. This prject used 18 subjects with n mtr disabilities. As they cntinue dwn this rad, they will test this n peple with mtr disabilities t apply it t larger grups in clinical settings. “T achieve this, we need t imprve ur technlgy t make it easier t use,’ Millan. a prfessr in the University f Texas says.
On the side f translating the research, Millan and his team cntinue t wrk n a wheelchair that users can drive with the brain- cmputer interface. At the Suth by Suthwest Cnference and Festivals this mnth, the researchers shwed ff anther ptential use f the technlgy. cntrlling tw rehabilitatin (康复) rbts fr the hand and arm. This was nt part f the new paper but a sign f where this technlgy culd g in the future. “We’ll cntinue dwn this path wherever it takes us in the pursuit f helping peple.” Millan says.
32. Wh will benefit the mst frm the Brain-Cmputer Interface innvatin?
A. Peple with physical disabilities.B. Businessmen selling wheelchairs.
C. Students seeking academic imprvement.D. Athletes seeking perfrmance enhancement.
33. What is the main advantage f the new slutin?
A. Faster adjustment prcess.B. Decreased need fr tuning.
C. Imprved mainstream adptin.D. Quick understanding f cmmands.
34. What is the functin f electrdes?
A. Translating signals.B. Measuring brain signals.
C. Cntrlling devices.D. Enhancing brain functin.
35. What is the prbable fcus f Millan and his team’s future wrk?
A. Explring hand and arm rehabilitatin.
B. Shwcasing technlgy at cnferences.
C. Translating and publishing research papers.
D. Enhancing brain- cmputer interface technlgy.
