How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Several says.
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market.
Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.

【文章大意】這是一篇關(guān)于科技發(fā)明的文章。本文介紹了一種新型的電動牙刷既智能又有趣，能夠檢查人們的刷牙情況。
小題1:A考查細節(jié)理解。由第一段第四句“An electric toothbrush senses how long…”可知，這種電動牙刷可以感知你刷牙的時間和刷牙的情況，這些你都可以通過手機來知道自己的表現(xiàn)。故答案選A。
考查類別統(tǒng)一為：考查細節(jié)理解�？疾椴聹y詞義。考查判斷推理�？疾橹髦家x;考查文章標題;
小題2:C考查細節(jié)理解。Serval這句話的意思是用這種電動牙刷就好像有牙醫(yī)天天在監(jiān)督你的刷牙情況一樣，故答案選C。
小題3:B考查細節(jié)理解。由第四段可知，設(shè)計者將設(shè)計一個由牙刷控制的游戲，讓這個牙刷既智能又有趣。
小題4:D考查判斷推理。通過閱讀第五段可知，Serval作為父親發(fā)現(xiàn)孩子沒有刷牙卻說自己刷牙了這種情況之后，使得他決定設(shè)計一種能夠清楚地知道孩子刷牙情況的牙刷。
小題5:A考查判斷推理。根據(jù)第五段第二句“He would come back…They said ‘yes,’ but …”可以推斷， Serval的孩子沒有刷牙卻說自己刷牙了，這說明孩子們不喜歡刷牙。
小題6:D考查判斷推理。由最后一段可知，以后會在牙刷上裝上照相機，這樣人們在刷牙的時候甚至可以檢查牙齒上的洞，這說明這種牙刷在將來能夠?qū)θ藗兊难例X進行健康檢查。
