Inventors are always at work， dreaming up new technologies. Some inventions help us solve problems. Others make life easier， or more fun. Here， TFK（Time for Kids） presents 3 of our favorite inventions. See how they make us live a better life.

Stopping Sickness

Christine Schindler is an engineer. She wanted to help stop the spread of food-borne illnesses. So she created PATHSPOT. It uses light to scan （扫描） a person’s hands for harmful germs （细菌）. Restaurant employees hold their hands under the scanner. Then the scanner judges whether they must be rewashed. About 100 locations have started using the product since it launched in May.

Talking Eyes

For people who are blind or have other visual （视觉的） problems， the ORCAM MYEYE 2 could be a game changer. It might also prove useful for people with reading difficulties. Described as “talking glasses，” this AI device can be attached to any eyeglass frame. It can recognize faces. It can also read text aloud. Fitting all this power into such a small device is like “putting an elephant in a small closet，” says Amnon Shashua， the inventor of the technology. Now the device can be bought online.

Sport-safe

Research shows that playing football increases the risk of brain injury. Still， about a million kids under the age of 13 play football， according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. That’s where the VICIS ZERO1 YOUTH football helmet comes in. It has thick， force-absorbing support on the front and sides， where kids are likely to take the hardest hits on the field. Players on 1，500 youth teams have worn the helmet.

21. What is the function of PATHSPOT？

A. Killing the germs on hands. B. Checking if hands are clean.

C. Rewashing employees’ hands. D. Stopping the reproduction of germs.

22. What is the feature of the Talking Eyes？

A. It’s wearable. B. It’s low-noise. C. It’s power-saving. D. It’s single-function.
