— It is at a quarter to 9 on Sunday.

You've probably used caloric calculators before, and you know that they only offer general information. For example, a calculator will tell you the average number of calories in a hamburger, but it can't tell you exactly how many calories are in the hamburger. The same goes for nutrients like protein or fat. And this is what makes the new CaloRieco so special.

The spokesman for the company said that its outstanding invention is aimed at dieters and CaloRieco is a high-tech device that uses light reflection technology to determine the-nutritional diabetes sufferers, both of whom make up a sizable market. Displayed at a recent tech show, values of almost any food and also provide accurate calorie estimates. All you have to do is put your plate in the box-shaped device and wait between 10 and 20 seconds for it to analyze all the food.

Once it's done analyzing the various ingredients (烹饪材料) in your meal, CaloRieco shows the number of calories, as well as the nutritional content on an LED display. According to the company the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods, except soups and very dark dishes.

CaloRieco can also connect to your smartphone via an app, and send all the data about analyzed foods to your handheld device, so you can access it whenever you need.

Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on your very own CaloRieco, as the device presented at the show is just a prototype (样机) which needs to be improved. It's expected to be a hit in the next few years, but the price remains a mystery.

When I entered high school, my world seemed to be changed. Among 790 freshmen, I couldn't find a familiar face from middle school. At home, loneliness continued. My elder brother was planning for his future in college, my younger brother seemed to have built a wall between us, and my outgoing older sister was always surrounded by her friends. "They, all have found their place," I thought to myself.

Yet, there was always a beacon of light waiting for me at home – my mother's waiting figure. Just as I was about to rush into her arms, seeking solace (安慰)for the day's discomfort, I heard ," Carole, look at your bedroom, it's a mess. Why can't you keep it clean?"

This sudden criticism (批评) was like cold water poured over my delicate (脆弱的) heart. What I needed, more than anything, was just a few words of warmth from her. "Mom, I..." I tried to explain my struggles, but was cut off by the sudden ringing of the phone.

"Just a minute, Carole." Mom hurried away to answer the call. From her conversation, I could roughly make out that she was discussing work matters with her editor. She sat at her desk, nodding occasionally and taking careful notes. I knew she was a great writer and a loving mother, strict with herself and had a deep love for us. I knew how busy she was, but still, I couldn't help feeling disappointed and upset.

I went back to my room and pulled out my maths exercise. Yet, almost immediately, I saw my first mistake. "Wrong again!" I thought. I angrily tore the paper out of my notebook, crumpled (弄皱)it into ball, and threw it towards the wastepaper basket. The paper ball landed on the floor. Gradually, the entire room was covered with paper balls. In this chaos (混乱), I found a strange sense of satisfaction. Eventually, I kicked the paper balls under the bed and left the room without tidying it up.   

The next day, I arrived home to find the house quiet. I dragged myself to my bedroom as usual.
