introduced towards the marketplace, and lots of companies are participating. Here are several of the amazing

inventions that were introduced at the showin 2020.

August Wi-Fi Smart Lock

It's an intelligent door lock to protect your home, and it works on Wi-Fi. The lock doesn’t require any

additional hardware to attach to it and can be used with the existing door lock. The owner can remotely access the

door from anywhere to lock or unlock and can provide guest keys to family or friends. It keeps statistics and

records of your door’s “lock”, “unlock”, and who have visited.

Motion Pillow

It’s a pillow developed for anyone who has a snoring (打鼾) problem. The solution box detects, records, and

analyses the sleeping person’s snoring patterns. By changing the internal airbag’s pressure, it fixes the position of

the sleeping person’s neck and head gently to improve his breathing. Three layers of noise- reducing material

minimize the user’s sleeping disturbance.

Ao Air

It’s a high-tech face-covering wearable air purifier with no tight seal on the mouth and nose. The purifier pulls

air inside through a filtration (过滤) process and uses fans to createa clean area in front of the device. It’s

designed in such a way that it can clean more than 98 % of PM2.5 through filtration.

A Singaporean company will feed airport food waste to mealworms before turning them into fish feed, aiming

to cut the country's use of imported feed and offer a continuous alternative.

Blue Aqua Internationalwill partner with Dnata, an air and travel services provider, to change organic waste at

Singapore's Changi Airport into insect protein for aquacultural use, according to a statement Tuesday.

The project looks to replace traditional fish and soybean meal as the main sources of protein for aquafeed.

The insects will eat the food waste and change it into part of the body containing about 60 per cent protein. The

dried baby worms will then be made into feed.

These mealworms can be a continuous solution to several problems. Using a small land and giving out less

carbon, they turn food waste into feed and offer an alternative source of protein. Ynsect SAS, a small French

business that keeps mealworms to feed fish and pets, attracted money from investors includingIron Manmovie

actor Robert Downey Jr. in a round of fund-raising last year.

The deal will give Singapore's farmers access to domestically produced animal feed, which is traditionally

bought from abroad. The Southeast Asian nation imports more than 90 percent of its food and has set a goal to

produce a third of its food locally by 2030. It also aims to achieve a general recycling rate of 70 per cent by then.

Presently, less than 20 per cent of Singapore's food waste is recycled.

As part of the partnership, Dubai-based Dnata will add Blue Aqua to its list of suppliers to buy locally farmed

seafood for its catering service.

4. What is the function of mealworms?

A. To cut the use of imported fish feed. B. To eat food waste and make fish feed. C. To domestically produce animal feed. D. To replace traditional fish and soybean meal.

5. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A. The producers of the feed. B. The purpose of the project

C. The advantages of the project. D. The composition of the feed.

6. What can we infer about Singapore from Paragraph 5?
