题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to ensure time in front of the television have been invented in the UK.

The shoes ― dubbed(配音的)Square 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 transmitter(发射机)passes 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 combat(遏制)the 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 obesity(过度肥胖)really 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.
