AEvery year, TIME selects the best inventions that are making the world better, smarter and—in some cases—a little more fun. Here are the ones on last year’s list.The Hello SenseIt’s hard to believe that an alarm clock, called Hello Sense, can not only be beautiful but also improve your sleep. It can control the temperature, light and even air quality in your bedroom to help you have a perfect sleep environment. It can wa ke you up when you’re in the lightest part of your sleep cycle and ready to wake. You can also speak to Sense to find out how well you slept.The Folding Bike Helmet (头盔)People refuse to wear a helmet because it’s thick and heavy. The Morpher, a bike helmet made from interweaved plastics is just as strong as its traditional ones, but flexible enough to fold almost totally flat, making it easier to carry.Shoes That Tie ThemselvesAlmost everyone who sees the movie Back to the Future wants a pair of shoes that tie themselves. Now, thanks to Nike, the shoe dream is a reality. When you press a button near the tongue, the sneakers themselves tighten and loosen around your feet. Simplified shoe fastening could be helpful for the athletes during the competition, and it’s especially useful for people with the impaired (损坏的)motor nerve.Sweet Potatoes That Could Save LivesIn sub-Saharan Africa, the lack of vitamin (维他命) A puts children at risk of blindness, and other diseases. Plant scientists are helping some countries grow their own solutions in the form of sweet potatoes. And they fight against droughts. Last year, the orange-colored sweet potatoes won the World Food Prize and have been seen as a healthy crop for all.21.What do we know about Hello Sense?A.It shows you ways of sleeping wellB.It can serve as a light in your bedroom.C.It tries its best to improve your quality of sleep.D.It can wake you up at any time every day.22.Who are more suitable to wear shoes that tie themselves?A.Ones who enjoy seeing Back to the Future.B.Ones who practice running.C.Ones who are fans of Nike.D.Ones who have trouble with the motor nerve23.Which column is the passage probably taken from?A. historyB. travelC. scienceD. cultureBLast week, I went to Montpellier in the south of France for an exam. So this trip was for business, not for pleasure. However, I was looking forward to seeing some of my friends, who studied in Paul Valery University in Montpellier.I was quite happy to go to Montpellier because it was a part of France that I hadn’tseen before. Upon arriving there, I was greeted at the train station by one of my friends. We decided to go for a walk to Place de la Comedie before heading to our exam. Then, we received a text message from our lecturer, saying that the exam had been cancelled. I was angry because I had travelled three hours from Toulouse for no purpose.After venting our anger, my friend and I decided to go to the nearest shopping centre--- the Odysseum. I enjoyed my time there, especially since my friends took me to the aquarium (水族馆) there, and I picked up even more French words for sea creatures like asea lion. So my journey to Montpellier wasn’t totally without purpose. After this, we went to Pizza Pino for lunch in the Odysseum where food and good service made me impressed.I asked my friends to show me some of the sites, like Place de la Comedie. My favoritesite of the whole trip must have been the Arc de Triomphe, because behind the Arc de Triomphe is a park area with an area to stand. From here, my friends and I watched the sunset before I had to go back to Toulouse.In a word, my trip wasn’t a total w aste. I had a great day in Montpellier with my friends and learnt some new words in French.24.

This is especially true of children, who may feel cut from their friends and classmates.Now, these children may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. A robot called A V1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while he is recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends help carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.A company called No Isolation created the robot. The founder Dolva explains how the robot A V1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or a phone to start the robot. Then they use the same device to control the robot’s movements.At school, the robot sits on the child’s desk in the classroom and the child uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movements with touch, and talk through it. So it’s the eyes and the ears and the voice at school. The student can take part in classroom activities from wherever they are recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy.A V1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. It can’t be just a tiny camera because the other kids can pick it up and take it with them. And robots are, quite simply, cool. The robot just became available to the public. Hopefully A V1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from classes.28.

People use breathing to try to calm and control their minds. Laughter Yoga comes from these same ideas. It uses breathing exercise and laughter to strengthen the mind and body. For example, people doing Laughter Yoga perform simple laughter exercises together in a group. While they are laughing, they concentrate on breathing in a particular way. They also move and stretch their bodies.Doctor Madan Kataria in Mumbai, India invented Laughter Yoga. Through his research of laughter he found people did not know the difference between forced or false laughter and real laughter. Forced laughter can lead to a feeling of happiness. And then Kataria had the idea for a group of people who would laugh together.Kataria gathered a few of his friends in a public park in 1995 in Mumbai. His friends formed the first Laughter Club. That small group grew and grew! And today there are thousands of laughter yoga clubs all over the world.Laughter Club meetings are similar all around the world. People in a club usually perform a series of exercises, including body movement, correct breathing, and of course, laughter! At the beginning of the meeting, people may have to force themselves to laugh. But in the end, everyone is usually laughing in a real way.Kataria claims that laughter is actually a very good form of exercise. It helps to improve the immune system(免疫系统),lower blood pressure and help lift depression.Laughter Yoga is good for everyone because everyone can laugh. Experts explain that laughter crosses all barriers. It does not matter how old you are, where you are from, what language you speak, or what abilities you have. Everyone likes to laugh.32.
