How does it work? The fridge’s computer knows what you have got by scanning the barcodes on the items you put in to it. It can tell how much food you have got – how much milk you have got, if you’ve got 5 eggs, how many tomatoes you have got or when there isn’t 6 butter. 7 fridges can even talk to you. Ask ’Is there 8 salad?’ and the fridge tells you ’Yes, there is 9 salad.’ or ’No, there isn’t 10 .’ For people on 11 diet, the fridge tells you what you can or can’t eat – perhaps you can’t have 12 meat or cakes – unfortunately the fridge knows it and tells you!

GRAMMAR PRACTICE

11.1 should/shouldn’t

1 Read the text below. Write questions with should / shouldn’t .

1 What / do / to stop lightning hitting / you? 2 Where / go? 3 / lie / on the ground? 4 What / do / when in or near water? 5 / stand / under a tree?

The fi rst time lightning hit Roy Sullivan it burned his right leg and le� a hole in his shoe. On the seventh time lightning hit Roy it burned his head, chest and stomach. Lightning hit Roy more times than any other person. During an electrical storm lightning can travel from the storm to the ground, it can hit another thing then travel to the side and hit a person or it can hit the ground, travel through the earth and hit you. So what should you do when there is an electrical storm? Firstly, to stop lightning hitting you, you shouldn’t stay outside. Find a building to get inside or get inside a car. If there is no building near you, you should get onto the ground, curl up on your knees and put your feet together. You shouldn’t lie on the ground and you should move away from water. If you are in a swimming pool, get out quickly. Never put your umbrella up – getting wet is better than being hit by lightning. Don’t stand under a tree – 25% of people hit by lightning were under a tree. But the best thing is to watch the weather and not go out when a storm is coming.

2 Correct the sentences about the text in Exercise 1.
