BEFORE READING

TRUE / FALSE: Look at the article’s headline and guesswhether these sentences are true (T) or false (F):

Aninspired invention by a British student is being hailed as the answer to allparents’ concerns about their increasingly obese children. The device,nicknamed “Square-Eyes”, fits into any shoe and measures the number of stepstaken by a child each day. The information is relayed to the family computerand the child is rewarded with a calculated number of minutes of TV viewingtime. The recommended average of 12-15,000 steps a day equates to a maximum oftwo hours viewing. Once the allocated time in front of the box has expired, theTV automatically switches off. Kids then have to hit the streets to earn moreTV time. Device designer Gillian Swan says it “will help children to includ eexercise in their daily routines from an early age.”

“Square-eyes”has long been a term associated with sedentary children who are exposed to toomuch television. This new device reverses this association by promoting moreactive life styles for kids. Ms. Swan hopes her invention will mean healthier children. She said: “Today's children are exposed to a raft of television programmes and children's channels. Ten years ago, children were entertained byplaying games with their friends, now they are cooped up in their bedrooms watching hours of television programmes.” Engineer Cliff Randall believes the invention is at the vanguard of computer-integrated clothing, which will allow clothes to monitor our health.
