16．Our children grew up on peanut butter and jelly （果冻） sandwiches．Even my husband and I sometimes ate one secretly at late night with a glass of milk．It was too delicious and tasty．My mother-in-law was the jelly maker in this family．The jelly was made of either grape or blackberry．The only job I did to the jelly making was to save baby food jars （罐子），which my mother-in-law would fill with the tasty gel （凝胶体），pack them up and send back to our home．For the past 22 years of my married life，whenever I wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for ourselves，all I had to do was reach for one of those little jars of jelly．It was always there．

6．Mystery shopping or a mystery consumer or secret shopper，is a tool used by market research companies，or by companies themselves to gather specific information about services．The mystery consumer's specific identity and purpose is generally not known by the people or organizations being evaluated．Mystery shopping became standard practice by the early l940s．Now it is used in any industry，with the most common venues being retail stores，hotels，movie theaters，restaurants，fast food chains，banks，gas stations，car dealerships，apartments，health clubs and health care facilities．
While gathering information，mystery shoppers usually pretend to be regular shoppers at the store being evaluated．They may be required to take photographs or measurements，return purchases，or count the number of products，seats，people during the visit．They also perform specific tasks such as purchasing a product，asking questions，registering complaints or behaving in a certain way，and then provide details about their experiences．
After the visit，the shopper submits the data collected to the mystery shopping company，which reviews the information，completing quantitative or qualitative statistical reports on the data for the client company．This allows for a comparison on how the stores or restaurants are doing against previously defined criteria．Mystery shopping organizations advise that their research should only be used for employee motivation programs，and punishing or even firing stuff is an inappropriate use of mystery-shopper data．Nevertheless，stories of employers．sacking workers as a direct result of unfavorable mystery shopper feedback are not uncommon．

4．A spin-off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） called Empatica，has created a wearable device that monitors epileptic seizures（癫痫发作）．
According to Statista，the value of the global mHealth market for 2015is forecasted to be at around 14.5billion U．S．dollars．In fact，247million people in the US have downloaded a healthcare app for their personal use．
The new product，Embrace，can be paired with a companion watch that a family member，friend or caregiver can wear．When the companion watch is in range of the user's Embrace watch，it will vibrate to alert the companion watch of their medical situation or status．
Embrace is tied together by two apps：an event detector which sends an alert when the user's electrodermal response reaches a pre set level they customize based on their history and health profile； and a diary app which helps monitor and manage everyday routines．
The ultra thin Embrace is the result of several years of research from MIT professor Dr．Rosalind W．Picard，founder and director of the Affective Computing Research Group at MIT Media Lab and her team．Embrace evolved from a discovery with an early device called iCalm in 2008which allowed the researchers to see the outbreak of stress even before it was noticed by the subject．
The sensors in the iCalm device measured the"fight-or-flight response"through electrodermal activity which was measured from the skin surface．In a small test group，the data from the iCalm showed that the wristband data was related to how long the brain waves were suppressed after an epileptic seizure．According to Picard，the data showed the bigger the signal on the wrist，the longer the brain waves went flat after the seizure had supposedly ended．The problem with that discovery，according to the researchers，is that someone who's had an epileptic seizure and then appears to recover should be monitored and not left alone．
Over time，Picard and her team fine-tuned iCalm to what is now the Embrace watch which monitors the user's physiological stress levels．Embrace monitors electrodermal activity （EDA） and movement with an objective of reducing Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy （SUDEP），the leading cause of death of those with epilepsy．
Embrace recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for further product development．The company also has partnered with the Epilepsy Foundation and plans to give Embrace watches to children or families who can't afford them．

62．What can be inferred from the passage？A
A．Embrace will undoubtedly have a bright market future．
B．With Embrace，many epileptic sufferers have got cured．
C．Embrace is unaffordable for most children and families．
D．The government financially supports Embrace advances．
63．Embrace works with devices consisting ofB．
A．paired companion watches B．an event detector and a diary app
C．smart sensors in the iCalm deviceD．the signals shown on the wrist
64．Empatica developed iCalm because itA．
A．failed to detect an epileptic patient who tends to be cured
B．was weak in reporting the accurate data of the stress outbreak
C．could not figure out the brain waves via signals on the wrist
D．lacked the function to explain the sudden death in Epilepsy
65．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？C
A．From Fine-tuned iCalm to the Embrace Watch
B．A Cure of Epilepsy by Picard and her Team
C．A Smart Watch to Manage Epileptic Seizures
D．Embrace，a Great Scientific Breakthrough．
