Question

For those who are tired of doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app (application).
Strange though it may seem — "my wife already does that" was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week — Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them "smart".
Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it's Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.
The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owner is at work or on the bus.
Samsung says it's not just something new — the app connection actually has some practical uses.
"If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go." said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.
The company also says that with electricity rate (电价) varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money.
Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do — enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.

【小题1】D
【小题2】A
【小题3】C

解析试题分析：主要向我们介绍了三星公司推出新产品目的是更便捷人们的生活，但同时也引人深思，好技术产生的同时也会带来负面的影响——滋生懒惰。
【小题1】推理判断题。根据第二段第一句中的“my wife already does that”可知人们对此已经很熟悉了， 故答案选D。
【小题2】推理判断题。综合全文可知，三星运用app connection于产品中是为了让生活变得更容易， 故答案选A。
【小题3】段落大意题。文章最后一段主要讲了好技术所能做的就是滋生懒惰，所以即便是好的技术也会带来负面的问题，故答案选C。
考点：日常生活类短文阅读。
点评：总结段落大意题确实存在着一些难度。通过很多段落的分析，我们发现做HEADING 题一个总的做题原则：精读首句，一一对应原则，即首先划好题目的关键词，再从每段第一句进行阅读，寻找题目关键词和段落的一一对应原则。如果第一句能与题目对应就对应了，如果第一句不能与题目对应，则还须往后阅读直到找到对应为止。但使用这个原则的同时还必须确保第一句是中心句。怎样断定第一句为中心句，我们可以对段落结构进行分析，来寻求中心句。
