A project conducted by Johann Siau, Senior Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshires School of Engineering and Technology, has built on the universitys InterHome project aiming to create a home that supervises people living at home who are weak or elderly.The interhome“Weve developed a wristband type device,” said Johann Siau, “which allows us to monitor the condition of an elderly person, or whoever is wearing the device. It allows us to collect data of a person, to see if the person has fallen or is away from where they are supposed to be. It connects an elderly person with an assisted living type device with the InterHome.” The assisted living project is part of the universitys wider InterHome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house stores the usage patterns of the person living there and can adapt to make it use as little energy as possible. “Connecting the two together and building the service element allow us to introduce the assisted-living idea to care for the elderly. Its very important that these technologies are there to help and support rather than to replace any of the existing services.”Built from zeroThe InterHome is not just a prototype or a vehicle for research, its a study tool to help students from different scientific backgrounds learn about and develop technology. The InterHome combines the latest broadband technology, mobile data and communication. Researchers and students make sure all the technology works together. Students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. It requires a variety of skills from students electronic engineers, computer students, design students and so on. “The present plan we are working on is a smart home project in Watford with some commercial companies,” said Johann Siau. “We are looking at how a smarter home can provide extra value services.”25.The main purpose of this article is to_.A. introduce a new kind of technology to help people enjoy a better lifeB. describe a new platform for students to develop new technologyC. show how future buildings will change elderly peoples way of lifeD. describe a new project that aims to develop a smart home for elderly26.The underlined word “supervises” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_.A. Watches overB. gives support toC. directsD. comforts27.According to the article, the Interhome project_.A. does all the work the existing services doB. aims to provide better care and services for the elderC. develop houses that mainly aim to save energyD. calls for students to care for old peopleCWhen Carly Williams was reporting on a farm in North Carolina, US, she laughed when a zebra(斑马)pushed its nose into her car.Carly, 15, is a student at Nation Ford High, South Carolina and hopes to become a television anchor(主播).
