Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.
The shoes — named Square Eyes — contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter(传话器) passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day‘s efforts. B.Statue of Liberty. D.The Sydney Opera
The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. ―We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,‖ she says. ―And I wanted to tackle that with my design.‖
Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.
Existing pedometers (计步器) normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. ―It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,‖ she says. ―That was one of my main design considerations.‖

A sobbing little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it “was too crowded.” “I can’t go to Sunday School,” she sobbed to the pastor (牧师) as he walked by.Seeing her shabby appearance, the pastor
guessed the reason, and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday School class.The child was so touched that she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus.
Some years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor buildings and the parents called for the kindhearted pastor, who had befriended their daughter, to handle the final arrangements.As her poor little body was being moved, a worn purse was found which seemed to have been picked up from some trash dump.Inside was found 57 cents and a note scribbled in childish handwriting which read, “This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School.”
For two years she had saved for this offering of love.When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do.Carrying this note, he told people the story of her unselfish love and devotion.
A newspaper learned of the story and published it.It was read by a Realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands.When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered it for 57 cents.
Church members made large donations.Checks came from far and wide.Within five years the little girl’s gift had increased to $250,000, a huge sum for that time. When you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple Baptist Church, with a seating capacity of 3,300 and Temple University, where hundreds of students are trained.Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of Sunday scholars, so that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday school time.

A.To save money for her future career. B.To build a large building for more children to live in. C.To help build a church big enough for every child to go to.

A.He made the story known to the public by publishing it. B.He sold a land to the church for free. C.He offered the church a piece of land for 57 cents. D.He raised money for the church.
43.What can be inferred from the passage? 【云南省玉溪一中2010届高三下学期第五次模拟考试】【逻辑推理】
A.Church members donated because of their desire for a big church. B.The girl’s unselfish love was rewarded at last. C.The pastor found 57 cents saved by the little girl. D.Temple Baptist Church, Temple University, Good Samaritan Hospital and a Sunday School building all belong to the small church the little girl went to.
