（2024·黑龙江哈尔滨）With the development of society, technology has greatly influenced our daily life.
If we want to have delicious food cooked in the restaurant, we can order food through mobiles. In the future, our kitchens might be even smarter. For example, our fridges will tell us to eat vegetables while they are still fresh.
Smart home technology has greatly improved our living space. A smart speaker uses AI（人工智能）technology to control lights, heat and more. What we need to do is to talk to the speaker. A smart lock allows us to open the door with our mobile phones. A smart doorbell allows us to see who is at the door on our mobile phones.
Today, a smart watch can connect to our mobile phones and do many things. It can count our steps when we go running. We can share the route with others, so they will know where we are. It also supports messaging and phone calls. Scientists have developed a smart jacket with a special sleeve（袖子）. Once it is connected to our mobile phones, it can start or stop music and give directions. It can also read or send text messages and answer calls. All we need to do is to touch the sleeve.
Technology has managed to change the way we shop for clothes. Today, we can choose to buy things in a store, or shop online if we don't want to go out. Technology allows us to see whether the clothes fit us before we buy them online. That way, we don't need to worry about buying the wrong size online.
