Is your TV connected to the Internet? Wh...

Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future most things in your home may be connected as the so-called “Internet of things” is developing.

The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year Samsung (三星) CEO BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸尘器).

So how do household(家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.

An Internet-connected camera like a smart-home camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize people’s faces and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don’t know it can tell you that too.

But according to MIT Technology Review whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security (安全) systems to the Internet there may be problems. For example many early connected-home devices (装置) don't have much built-in security which means they could be hacked (被黑客攻击). In addition it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium which had 45 members by late 2014.

So picture this you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.

1.The Samsung CEO’s speech is mentioned to prove that______.

A. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently

B. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner

C. he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things

Seed(种子)of Kindness

Jim a successful businessman told the experience of his childhood.

When he was 12 his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.

“Thank you dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog “You are a nice little dog!” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.

“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!” he said “Well Tige I won’t say unkind words to you anymore.” Tige waved its tail happily.

The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on he had a new life.

After telling this the businessman stopped for a while and then he said “Ladies and gentlemen this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power it has!”
