Bluetooth is a leader in wireless technology. It is built into cars, iphones, computers and more.

It allows you to share information between two devices. But with a focus on function, Bluetooth

devices are always changing thanks to some creative designers. Here are a few cool things you

may see on the market soon.

Bluetooth Clothing

Clothing designer Asher Levine has designed a line of clothing that contains Bluetooth

microchips. These chips connect to your iphone. If you lose an item of clothing, there is an app to

help. Push a button and your clothing will “ring” if it’s nearby. If it’s too far away, you can use

Google Maps to locate.

The Ripple

Ladies, are you tired of wireless headsets that make you look like a character from Star Trek (星际迷航)? Ilya Fridman was thinking of you when he designed the ripple, a Bluetooth headset

that looks like an earring. When you open the device, you can see a microphone in it. When closed,

the ripple stays on so you can listen to music.

Spray Bluetooth Speaker (扬声器)

Clothing label Ecko UNLTD is making its new technology product with a Bluetooth speaker

that looks like a can of spray paint (喷漆). The Spray Bluetooth speaker also contains a

microphone, which you can pair with your smart phone for hands-free calling. The speakers have

up to 10 hours of battery life. You can turn the top of it to choose songs or control volume.

Smart Watches

The EZIO has created a line of Bluetooth watches that connect to your smart phone. The

EZIO Bluetooth 4.0 Smart Watch vibrates (震动) when you get a call, text or email. It also lets

you know any time your phone is more than 5 to 10 feet away from you. Although this isn’t the

first smart watch on the market, it’s sure to be a favourite. Why? It’s designed to look like a

high-fashion watch, not a piece of technology.

These new technology products show that fashion is getting smarter, and technology is

looking better!

I was probably one of the few kids in America whose parents didn’t want them to go to

college. My family was very blue collar. My parents were never able to achieve more than getting

a factory job, and trying to make ends meet. While growing up, I would always say I wanted to go to an Ivy League university and my dad would say there was absolutely nothing wrong with our

state university. Dad suggested that’s what I ought to aim for. By the time senior year approached,

I sent out only two applications for college, one to the state university a little more than two hours

away from my hometown, and one to a university in another state. I was quickly accepted into

both, but my dad seemed to be against the idea of my going away for university. He wanted me to

attend the one in our county and save money by continuing to live at home.

For whatever reason, I had been given more ambition than my parents before me, or my two

younger brothers, both of whom chose the factory scene rather than education. So every day after

school, my dad and I had fights about where I would go to university. His logic was very sound,

especially considering where I stand now, three years after graduation with debt up to my eyeballs.

He threatened to give me no financial help at all, and I said that was fine, and I would be able to

get enough loans.

The fights about where I was going to get the money continued until the day I packed

everything up into our car. It was then, at breakfast before we made our journey down, that my

dad said he was proud of me. He hadn’t thought I would actually leave. As my parents dropped me

off at my dorm room, my mom started crying, and even my dad kissed me on the forehead, which

was the first time I could remember getting hugged and kissed by them in years.

At this point, my relationship with my parents changed. They’ve done well to leave me to my

own life, and to just be happy when I call home. No matter what happens now, I know standing

my ground on where to go for university has been the best decision of my life, as I have gained

both education and a life experience.

4. Why was going to a faraway college less advisable to the father?

A. The poor family could not afford the education and boarding fees.

B. Going to college was not a popular idea in those days.

C. The hometown university was as good as the state university in teaching.

D. He was less ambitious than his son.

5. Which word can best replace the underlined word “sound” in paragraph 2?

A. wrong B. complex C. confusing D. reasonable

6. The relationship between the author and his parents changed for the better when ___________.

A. he decided to go to an Ivy League university

B. he was accepted into both of the universities

C. he began the journey to his university

D. he first called home from his university
