Unit 5 Canada-“The True North” .閱讀理解Thanks to this new hands free suitcase,carrying around heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past.Designed by Israeli company NUA Robotics,this “smart” suitcase can follow you everywhere you go.The carry-on suitcase,currently a prototype(雛形),connects to a smartphone app via bluetooth.It has a built-in camera sensor that can “see” you and follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors.It comes with an anti-theft alarm to prevent someone carrying it away when youre not looking,and it has a backup(備用) battery that you can use to charge all your devices.“It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smartphone,and avoiding obstacles,”explained Alex Libman,founder of NUA Robotics.“Were combining sensor network,computer vision,and robotics.So if you download our app(應(yīng)用),press the follow me button,the luggage recognizes its user and knows to follow and communicate.”NUA is still testing the device and trying to improve features like speed and customization(客戶訂制),but they hope to make the suitcase available to customers in a years time.If it proves successful,they want to use the bluetooth pairing technology to automate lots of other devices,like shopping carts at the supermarket.These devices are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly.“Any object can be smart and robotic,”Libman told Mashable.“We want to bring robots into everyday life.”The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a regular suitcase.Theyre planning to partner with a carry-on luggage maker,since the device that makes it “smart” weighs just 2.5 pounds and can be fitted on old-fashion luggage.With NUAs smart suitcase,carrying around heavy luggage isnt a burden.But how their invention will handle tough obstacles like stairs?It will be interesting to wait.【語篇導讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一種無須手提的智能旅行箱。1.According to the

task of solving this mystery (奧秘) for ages.In the 1960s,psychologist Robert Zajonc conducted a series of experiments where he showed people nonsense words and random shapes.Afterward he asked his subjects which they preferred out of everything they had been shown.In study after study,people always chose the words and shapes they had seen the most.Their preference was for familiarity.This discovery was one of the most important findings in modern psychology.But the preference for familiarity has clear limits.People get tired of even their favorite songs and movies.On the one hand,humans seek familiarity,because it makes them feel safe.On the other hand,people love the thrill of something new.This change between familiarity and discovery affects us all the timenot just our
