The shoes ― dubbedSquare Eyes contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitterpasses the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts. The design was inspired by a desire to combatthe rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, said Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University in London UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood obesityreally stood out, she told New Scientist. “And I wanted to deal with that with my design. Once the child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps. Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggested a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than 2 hours of TV. So every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals exactly one minute of TV time. 【查看更多】

    Clothes made in China were worn in European countries thousands of years before the first export factories sprung up（涌现出来）. A thousand-year-old mummy, nicknamed Otzi, was wearing a Chinese jacket, latest research has found. But where and how he got the jacket has become a topic of great debate.

    Otzi is the nickname of a well-preserved（保存完好）mummy from about 3300 BC. He was found in 1991 in the Otztal valley of the Alps, near the border between Austria and Italy. Two German tourists, Helmut and Erika Simon found him when they were climbing.

    Otzi was thought to be the body of a soldier who fought during the first world war, but was found to be thousands of years older. Studying Otzi shows that the items with him were all of different ages. His arrows are 7,000 years old, the knife belonged to the time hundreds years later and the skin in which the man was dressed originally belonged to a goat that lived in China. Otzi's tattoo（纹身）shows that he might have been a person who practiced magic, according to Prauda, the official newspaper in Russia.

    There are still thousands of mysteries about Otzi, yet the most famous and frightening one is his curse（咒语）. Some researchers believe that Otzi's curse is still effective and will bring bad luck upon those who trouble his dead body. Indeed, several people who have touched the remains of the ancient man have already died.   （From Reuters 2007/12/30）
