roduct 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 pany 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 pany made the product to help itself _________.

He didn39。t even have a remendation (推薦信) with him. You are mistaken, said the gentleman, he had a great many.

He took off his cap when he came in. and answered my questions quickly and respectfully (恭敬地), showing that he was polite.

When he wrote his name, I noticed that his fingernails were clean, instead of having some untidy personal habits. Don39。t you call these things letters of remendation?
