This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with

26、which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the forces of a users typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person.

33、ve consumer choice. You are what you consume. Consumption is an expression of self. It allows you to explore the world through its products, to experiment with lifestyle choices, and to do so safely and anonymously（匿名）. You might never get to France, but you can try French wine. California might be

34、far, but you can go to Shanghai Disneyland. Indeed, the enthusiasm for choice is reflected in the enthusiasm Chinese consumers have for online shopping.Consumerism is a statement of success.

35、 no longer driven only by need, it becomes a way of making a statement that you have disposable（可自由支配的）income and you can -at least in certain respects-enjoy life on your terms.

36、experience is focused. We like participating in group events. FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out, goes beyond cultures.
