Smartphones are getting boring.The new models are either a bit faster or have nicer cameras，but they are basically no different from the ones already in our pockets.This I why scientists are hoping，and working for something new，something that will change our lives just as greatly as smartphones do，At the moment，the next invention might be smart glasses.
Just imagine.Instead of having to pick up your phone and look at the screen，all of the information you need simply appears just in front of you，in your glasses.Satellite navigation （导航） directions would appear right there on the road.And your smart glasses could guide you to the right shelf in the supermarket!
Smart glasses could also be used in industry.They could show engineers the instructions they need to fix things more quickly.A doctor could carry out a huge operation，guided in real time by someone on the other side of the world.This may not happen.But most of the technologies to invent them are already there.For example，one key technology is called AR，which can make digital 3 D objects appear as if they are part of the real world.We've used it a lot on our video call.Similarly，huge progress has been made in spatial （空间的） audio.This is when a sound is made to give it a sense of place，like what you hear in an empty room.Some high-end earphones can already do that Future glasses will of course need to recognize your voice to do tasks.This technology has been widely used in our daily life.
So，why aren't we all wearing smart glasses yet？So far，no one has invented a good way to send images of our world onto glasses.However，with the rapid development of technology，smart glasses could arrive much sooner than we think.

37.  How might the writer feel about the future of smart glasses？ ______

A. Negative. B. Satisfied. C. Positive. D. Uncertain.

Being green means protecting the environment in our daily life.The best way to do this is buying green products.But how do we know if a product is really green？We need to think about everything of the product.
First，we should look at the materials of the products.Green products are made of natural materials.This is good for our health.
Second，where a product is made and where we buy it are also important.We should try to buy local products，especially food.We can order directly from local farmers.Buying from shops near our homes is also a good idea，because we can go there without driving a car.
Packaging （包装） is another thing we should think about.We should choose products that have glass paper or other packaging that can be reused or recycled.We should also try to buy products that have less packaging or no packaging at all.
The greenest thing we can do is not to buy unnecessary products.We should only buy things we really need，like food and clothes.If we don't need something，we should leave it in the shop. This saves money，reduces waste，and helps keep the planet healthy.
All in all，by buying green products，we can help make our planet a better place to live on.
