五、任务型阅读
(智能家居)Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is to return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live in.
Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices(设备), such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves.
Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes more convenient. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手). Google Home allows users to control nearly any device in their homes simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for the disabled, as they can finish tasks without using their hands or walking around the house.
Common household devices can become “smart” as well. For example, a smart rubbish bin can memorize all the things you've thrown away and offer you a shopping list online, and a smart fridge can create dinner recipes (菜谱) according to the vegetables that are being kept inside.
