One day, I was helping a student who was struggling to learn the letter sounds. I used flash cards with letters and pictures to help. I showed him the letters and a picture of
26、 a snake to call attention to the sound. Sss, snake. Next came the letter c. He couldnt remember the sound, so I showed him a picture of a cat. When I asked him to tell me the sound of c, he looked puzzled and said, “Meow?”PIANO WOMANWhen I saved a piano from an old house, I had not considered that
27、I would need assistance moving it from the back of my pickup truck into my home. Finally, I had to drive around with it for several days. One day, a police officer pulled me over. He had seen me before and asked why I was driving around with a piano in my truck bed. I told him that my car radio had
28、broken and I couldnt afford a new one. He laughedand he let me go without a ticket.SEE DAD RUNLike most dads, I imagine, Id always assumed that my three-year-old son looked up to me as a superhero. Until one day, that is, when, having picked him up from school, I saw that we were about to miss our b
29、us and decided to make a run for it. Once we were safely aboard, I noticed that my son was staring at me with his big blue eyes. “Whats the matter?” I asked him, still out of breath. He whispered, “Daddy, I didnt know you could run.”SNACK EMERGENCY After moving to the country, my three-year-old daug
30、hter and I were often alone in our house. Because we lived in a rural area with no close neighbors, I wanted to make sure she would be able to call 911 in the event that something happened to me. After instructing her, I decided to test her: “OK, what would you do if you found me on the floor and yo

33、ou Listening to What Your Heart Is Telling You?Wearable technology is getting a lot of attention these days. These devices are becoming increasingly more integrated into our daily lives and are providing new insights into our personal activity and fitness levels. According to IDC Research, the world
34、wide wearables market will reach 45.7 million units shipped by the end of 2015 and 126.1 million units in 2019.To date, the vast majority of that growth has been in basic activity trackers like the Fitbit One and the Jawbone UP that use an accelerometer (加速计) to measure movement and translate those
35、measurements into estimates of step counts, calories burned, distance travelled and other metrics (度量标准). However, these devices wont tell you how your body responded to that movement. In other words, while an activity tracker can estimate that youve taken 10,000 steps in a day, it cant tell you how
36、 hard your body worked to take those 10,000 steps or how your body recovered from that effort. Measurements of both physical activity and the bodys response to physical activity are important components in determining whether youre actually improving your health and fitness.This can be explained by
37、what exercise scientists refer to as workload. Workload is defined as the amount of time spent doing an activity or workout multiplied by the intensity of that activity. For example, to burn approximately 400 calories you can work out for an hour at low intensity or work out for 20 minutes at very h
38、igh intensity. This may seem obvious, but while basic activity trackers can be good at measuring how many steps youve taken, they are incapable of telling you how your body actually responded to those steps. The best way to quantify your bodys true response to workload is by continuously and accurat
39、ely measuring heart rate.With accurate information about your workloads and level of effort you are on your way to getting much better insight into your health and fitness. For example, with training you will start to see improvements in your cardiac efficiency (心效率). This is why more companies are
40、adding continuous heart rate monitoring to their next-gen wearable products. You can expect to see this trend continue as consumers get more value from the powerful insights that accurate heart rate data can provide.58. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 2? A. The disadvantages of b
41、asic activity trackers.B. The metrics of future wearable technology. C. The growth in wearable devices.D. Important physical activities.59.

42、UPB. they are good at measuring your physical activityC. they are likely to have a sensor monitoring heart rate D. they are able to estimate step counts, calories burned and distance travelled60.
