The product is a wristband that gives us an electric shock if we spend too much money. The wristband is called Pavlok. It is linked to our bank account. It knows how much money we have in the bank. If we go shopping and there is not enough money in our bank account, the wristband makes an electric shock on our wrists. This warns us not to overspend. The company is called Intelligent Environments. It wants to work with banks to help customers with their money. So far, no banks in Britain have said they would ask their customers to wear Pavlok. They could start doing this in the future.The Pavlok wristband is part of the Internet of Things. This is the idea that everything in our life will be connected to the Internet. The CEO of Intelligent Environments, David Webber, said people liked the idea of the Pavlok. Shoppers would rather get a small electric shock in the store from the wristband than get a big shock later when they see their bank account. Mr. Webber said the Pavlok would be great for people who cannot stop spending because they have no power or their power is weak. He added that many young people have the ostrich effect. This is when people put their heads in the sand and buy things rather than look at how much money they have in their bank accounts.（1）The company made the product to help itself _. A . make moneyB . save moneyC . spend moneyD . rob money（2）The wristband has to work with _. A . shopsB . doctorsC . banksD . Intelligent Environments（3）Mr. Webber thinks the wristband is _. A . helplessB . greatC . a big surpriseD . cheap（4）You can read this passage in a _. A . health magazineB . science magazineC . sports magazineD . weather report13. （10分）阅读理解 Picture the scene: Its midnight. Youre very hungry after studying for a long time.

In one test, the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock(电击) after 24 hours had gone by.The researchers noticed that when the mice were put in the room again hose mice that ate when they should have been sleeping were less likely(可能的) to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It means that they didnt remember.So think twice before the midnight snack it might be bad for more than your weight.（1）What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refer to? A . Studying for long.B . A nice pie.C . A new stud.D . Latenight eating.（2）For the study, the researchers need to _.
