Passage 3
How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on thecase. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your per-formanee on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Ve-gas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhonevia 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 yourbrushing 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 monstersamong 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 andask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said "yes", but Serval would find their toothbrushheads 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.

Passage 4
The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture to help perform operations for about 4,000years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves inserting(插入)flexible needles (针)into cer-tain partsof the body. The needles used are available in a number of stores in China and everyone maybuy them.
To learn how to use needle takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greatertime. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to insert the needles so the needles them-selves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain inthe area where the operation is to be performed. The needles are not necessarily inserted near theplace where the pain is to be prevented. In the past, a particular operation might require 25 or moreneedles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.
Today the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to developa convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or, why a needle in the wrist(手腕), for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.
A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one ofthe chemicals used for putting him to sleep.
