51、- one thats built out of four-inch squares and triangles of fiber, with tiny computer chips embedded (嵌于) in it. It looks, feels and weighs like your typical leather purse. Thats where the similarities end: this bag can wirelessly keep track of your belongings and remind you, just as youre about to

52、leave the house, to take your wallet. It can review the weather report and suggest that you take an umbrella. This purse can even upload your favorite songs onto your scarf. Surely, a computing purse and scarf set may seem like the stuff of science fiction. But these devices, part of next generation

53、 of wearable computers, could become commonplace within a few years. Dupont created new super strong fibers that can conduct electricity and can be woven into ordinary-looking clothes. And the chipmaker developed chip packaging allowing wearable computers to be washed, even in the heavy-duty (耐磨损的)

54、cycle. As a result, these new wearable devices are different from the heavy and downright silly versions of the recent past, which often required users to be wrapped in wires and type on their stomachs. Unlike their predecessors, these new wearable computers also make economic sense. When her bag be

55、comes commercially available in two to three years, Nanda expects it will cost around $ 150, which is the price of an average leather purse.Heres how the bag works: You place a special radio-signal-transmitting chip onto your wallet. A similar radio in your purse picks up the signal and notifies you

56、 that youve forgotten to take your wallet. In turn, sensors on your purses handles will notify the computer that youve picked up the purse and are ready to go. Already, these new kinds of wearable devices are being adopted for use in markets like auto repair, emergency services, medical monitoring -

57、 and even, increasingly, for consumers at large. Indeed, more people will want to cross that bridge in the coming years - making for a booming market for wearable computers that dont look like something out of science fiction.67. Which of the following describes a wearable computer?A. It can be wash

58、ed in washing machines. B. It is much heavier than a leather purse. C. It can download songs from the Internet. D. It is made of clothes conducting electricity.68. According to the passage, the new wearable computers _. A. require users to operate on the stomach B. pick up the signals through wires

59、and chips C. are being applied in some different areas nowD. are smarter but more expensive than the old ones69. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. The new wearable computers have become fashionable.B. People would like to learn more about the new computers.C. New wearab

60、le computers promise to sell well in the futureD. The idea of the purse-like computers comes from science fiction.70. The purpose of the passage is to _A. introduce a new kind of computer B. explain the functions of computers C. compare different types of computers D. show how high technology affect

63、n and give them problems to think about. 73_ If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent. 74_ According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then th

64、e child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as That was a very clever thing you did. or 75_ A. A healthy body contributes to ones intelligence. B.
