Once you e into the building, you will feel that you39。re in a modern and future home. When you enter the building, Grace39。s voice, ing from a hidden speaker, tells you your messages. In the kitchen, you set a bag of flour（面粉） on a flat stone table. Grace sees what you39。re doing and makes a menu of flourbased foods on the table. Once you choose one, Grace gives you ingredients（配料）. There39。s also a notice board in the kitchen made of “intelligent（智能的） cloth” that works like a touch screen puter. You can deal with postcards and invitations and surf the net with the touch of a finger. The invitations could be encoded（編碼）. You can deal with them on the puter. It39。s part of Microsoft39。s Smart Personal Objects Technology, whose aim is to make every object more efficient（有效率的）. “The day when your house bees a member of your family is not far,” says Pam Heath, a manager of Microsoft.

A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi39。s The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo （舒緩的節(jié)拍）. “Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nerve （神經(jīng)） system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added. The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education.
