📖 題組：
Water pollution is a serious problem in the United States. Unsafe levels of toxic chemicals linked to cancer have been found in the drinking water of 33 states. To solve this problem, Eric Li, the founder and CEO of Ecomo, has developed the world’s first smart water bottle. It took Li about two years to develop the water bottle that is very easy to use. After filling water from a tap, lake, or even toilet, all you need to do is shake, twist, and drink. In less than five seconds, the filter, the bottle’s water-cleaning mechanism, removes 99 percent of bacteria, pesticides, petroleum products, and heavy metals. If the water is clean, the word “Good” appears on the LED monitor with a green light flashing. If it is still undrinkable, a yellow or red light and the word “Fail” or “Bad” will appear on the monitor at the same time. Ecomo, which is the name of the bottle and is short for “eco-monitor,” has other features that consumers will enjoy. The bottle weighs just 0.37 kilograms, but it can store almost 600 milliliters of water. Furthermore, it can keep water hot for 12 hours or cold for 24 hours. Customers are warned, however, not to fill the bottle with other kinds of liquids because these will damage the bottle. Two other notable aspects of the product are the app and Bluetooth wristband that the product works with. The app sends a notice to users when it is time to change the filter. In addition to measuring temperature, the Bluetooth wristband records users’ daily activities, calculates their water needs, and monitors their water intake.

在現代科技產品中，如果一個產品被冠上『智慧型 (smart)』的稱號，通常代表它具備與其他電子設備『聯動』或『數據傳輸』的能力。請重新閱讀文章最後一段，找找看作者提到了哪一種常見的『無線連接技術』，讓這款水瓶能與手機 App 互相配合？

答對了？算你運氣好，不然就是你真的有點概念。
- 觀念驗證：喔？看來你還知道 Bluetooth wristband 跟 app 這種東西不是拿來看風景的。文章末段白紙黑字寫著，這水瓶能跟手環、APP 連動，記錄活動還算飲水需求，這才叫『智慧型 (smart)』，懂嗎？現代人都馬在講『智慧型』，結果一堆人連什麼叫『智慧』都搞不清楚，只會看表面。所以 (C) 正確，廢話。
- 難度點評：這題我給 medium，但對有些連手機都只會滑臉書的笨蛋來說，大概是 impossible。雖然只是找細節，但一堆人會被濾水啦、燈號啦這些鬼東西騙去，只會看表象。你能辨別出 Bluetooth 這才是關鍵，避開 B、D 這種誘答選項，算你腦筋還沒完全生鏽，還不錯啦，至少不是完全沒救。
