Inventions makes our life easier and better than before. Time magazine listed the 25 best inventions in the Year 2017. Let’s take a look at some of them.
iPhone X
The iPhone X is a “dream come true”, says Apple. It has some wonderful features(特点). The greatest feature is that the face ID allows users to unlock(解锁) their phone just by looking at their iPhone. Another feature wireless charging(无线充电). A third fun feature allows users to create their own emojis(表情包). Just by looking at the screen, users can see emojis about themselves, such as talking pandas.
Social robot
Can robots talk to us like humans? Jibo can. When you say, “Hey, Jibo,” it will dance and turn round to you. When it talks to you, it will move its round head and big body. Although it has no eyes or mouth, Jibo uses animated icons(动画图标), such as a smile icon, to show how it feels. All of these features make it seem like a real human. Right now, Jibo can only do some easy things, like taking photos or reading the news to you. But it may learn to do new things in the future.
Fidget spinner
The fidget spinner(指尖陀螺) is probably the most popular toy this year. With a ball in the middle, it can twirl(旋转) around on your fingertip(指尖) for a few minutes. After it starts to spin, you can put it on a flat surface, such as on a ruler or even on the nose of a dog. Some people say that this little toy can help them to relax their mind. But it may not be a good thing to spend too much time playing with it.

Let's say you took violin lessons all through primary school, but you haven't got the instrument out of its case in years. Were all those lessons a waste of your parents' money because you didn't become a great violinist?
Not at all. Even though it has been a long time since you played the violin, a new study shows that as little as one year of music training can have a positive influence on your brain that will last the rest of your life.
In an experiment comparing children who had taken music lessons to those who hadn't. Laurel Trainor, a researcher of the Institute for Music and the Mind at Ontario's McMaster University, discovered that the musically-trained kids had larger brain responses to the sound recognition exams. Trainor's findings show the possibility that musical education can actually improve the brain's hearing cortex (大脑皮层). “The study's results show that music training affects attention and memory, and helps children develop learning skills. In this way music training might lead to better learning across a number of fields," Trainor said in a statement. The effects of music education are even more obvious on children with difficulty in reading and writing and other language-related disabilities.
The study's results point out that “musical training influences attention and memory, which makes a possibility that musical training might lead to better learning across a number of fields," Trainor said in a report.
The effects of music training are even more easily seen in children with difficulties in language. “A music training that can strengthen the hearing skills of children who have difficulty in reading may also help improve some of their language abilities," said Gottfried Schlaug, who has also studied music training and learning.
So, whether or not you can play a Tchaikovsky symphony part, it's likely that your years of music lessons prepared your brain for all the speeches, emails, and conversations that are part of your life today. To help make sure that kids today have the same chances for music-inspired (激发) brain development, help out by volunteering with or giving away instruments to your school's music training department.
