12.Lately,everywhere you look,people are running around with fitness trackers on their wrists.Along with a smartphone and an accompanying app,these trackers can report how many calories you've burned and the distance you've traveled.Still curious about yourself?You can also learn the number of stairs you've climbed and steps you've taken,metrics(度量)it had never occurred to me to wonder about.
Not one to resist peer pressure,however,I paid $100for a Fitbit Flex.I chose that brand on the basis of research:asking my friend Sari which tracker she used.
The Fitbit website offered instructions on setting up my new tracker.I entered my height and gender(性別)and certain information I considered none of its business:birth date and weight.Then I established goals.The American Heart Association recommends we all walk 1 0,000steps a day-about five miles,and so does Fitbit.I decided 6,000steps was a good place for me to start.
I changed my tune when,on day one,I hit 6,000steps and tiny LED lights flashed on my wristband.Confident enough now,I went back to my phone and upped my goal to 8,000steps.
OK.So I got a little obsessed(著迷).On day five at a department store,I decided to check my progress.My target number was just 275steps away!I walked around the dress department watching my smartphone register each step I took.I hate to tell you how much pleasure this gave me.
Now I always wear my tracker,not because I've grown to love fitness but because I like being trendy and self-absorbed.Last night I was leaving a restaurant when Fitbit emailed to congratulate me on walking more than 10,000steps.Who wouldn't love a tool that turns your every footstep into an accomplishment?

26.B 詞義猜測題,根據(jù)第三段I entered my height and gender(性別)and certain information I considered none of its business:birth date and weight.可知我們發(fā)現(xiàn)生日,體重這樣的信息對我們來說并沒有其他信息比如證件號等來得重要,因此劃線短語的意思為"不重要",故選B.
