Ember Mug It's hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature，especially in winter. It's too hot to drink at first，but before we know it，it gets too cold and loses all its taste. According to Time，the perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds，which makes the Ember Mug a great invention.

You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do. For example，it'll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients.

Said to be “the world's first social robot for the home”，Jibo looks like a cartoon character with a round head and a voice that sounds like a 10 year old boy's. Inside its “head”，there are different sensors and cameras，which allow it to recognize (辨认) faces and speeches. Jibo will move to face you whenever you talk to it.

According to UNESCO, a large number of children in villages in some African countries like Kenya and Tanzania do not go to school. They have to work to make money for their family. And more than half of the people in these countries live without electricity.
A company is now working to solve both of these problems. It has created a special solar (太阳的) power station, which is in the shape of a cow, called “Solar Cow”. The company encourages parents in those poor villages to send their children to school by setting up Solar Cows at schools.
Just as its name suggests, the Solar Cow can charge batteries (给电池充电) called “Solar Milks”. The Solar Milks can provide electricity for the families.

Each fully charged Solar Milk battery can charge a mobile phone three or four times, or a radio once or twice.

六、 The Most Useful Invention
Mobile phones are, without doubt, one of the most useful inventions. It was invented by an American called Martin Cooper in 1973.
I should say that mobile phones have really changed our lives. First, it's more convenient to communicate with others by using mobile phones. Second, people are used to taking photos with mobile phones instead of cameras. And we can even go shopping, listen to music and watch movies on the phone.
In my opinion, we teenagers should be allowed to use mobile phones, but not on weekdays. And it's necessary to use them in the right way with the help of our teachers and parents.
