How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on
the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track
your performance on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in
Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android
phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the
teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually
watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers
could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for
beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Several says.
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from
work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find
their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his
children brushed.
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $$99 to $$199, developing
on features. The U.S. is the first target market.
Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a
brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while
you brush.
41. Which is one of the features of the Kolibree toothbrush?
A．It can sense how users brush their teeth.
B．It can track users’ school performance.
C．It can detect users’ fear of seeing a dentist.
D．It can help users find their phones.

B．You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis.
C．You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.
D．You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
43. Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun?
A．It can be used to update mobile phones.
B．It can be used to play mobile phone games
C．It can send messages to other users
D．It can talk to its developers.

A．How Serval found out his kids lied to him.
B．Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary.
C．How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth.
D．What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush
45. What can we infer about Serval’s children?
A．They were unwilling to brush their teeth
B．They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.
C．They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.
D．They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.
46. What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree?
