With the average American going through more than 700 pounds of paper
per year, many firms are looking for ways to discourage their employees
from over-using the office printer.
Toshiba American Business Solutions has come up with an alternative
idea. It has introduced the e-STUDIO4508LP, a printer that gives users the
option to print with erasable toner (墨粉)—allowing a single piece of paper
to be reused several times.
“To reuse a piece of paper, the printer basically uses the same process
as a normal printer, but in reverse (反过来),” said Bill Melon, chief
marketing executive for Toshiba America Business Solutions. “Paper printed
with the erasable toner is fed back into the printer, superheated, and the
toner gets removed and put in a discard (丢弃) tank.”
There are a couple of catches. All of the printouts using the erasable
toner have to be in blue ink, which is the only color in which erasable toner
is now available. And the company said that people may want to stop reusing
the printouts after five times through the eraser because small traces of
erased text will build up over time.
The $15,420 printer is aimed at offices and schools, where there are
often large numbers of printouts that outlive their usefulness quickly. With the
erasable toner, it’s possible to load any short-lived handouts back onto the
printer to be erased and then reused.
Still, convincing customers to commit to erasable toner isn’t always
easy. Melon said not all its customers were happy about only having the
erasable option.
“The model,” Melon said, “should better serve the needs of those
who want to be environmentally conscious but also may need something
more permanent on occasion.”

Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the
International Toy fair. There were new, high-tech educational products.
Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s
emotional intelligence.
Plea is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual (視觉的) reality
technology to teach words, numbers and other things. Edison Duran
directs the company that makes Plea. She showed people at the toy fair how
virtual (虚拟的) images appear on the blocks when they are held in front
of a camera. Plea has children act as teacher or guide to a companion
character.
Karen Hu from another company showed an educational robot called
womb. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities.
Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the
robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can
communicate with womb and follow some of the instructions womb is giving
because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone
else telling him about certain things.”
At the Entrainment stand, sales director Jonathan Erickson explained
the company’s toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop
emotional and social intelligence,” he said. Erickson showed off a board
game called “Q’s Race to the Top”. He said the game got his 4-year-old
daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of
all this—getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel
like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’”
It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional
intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their
efforts to raise well-rounded children.5. How does Plea instruct children to learn?
A. By giving direct guidance.
B. By presenting visual images.
C. By taking photos with a camera.
D. By playing the role of a companion.

C. It is aimed to design games.
D. It can get started by itself.
7. What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys?
A. They are quite easy to operate.
B. They can teach children numbers.
C. They can show their emotions clearly.
D. They help kids express themselves well.
8. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Toys help to build emotional intelligence.
B. Educational toys sell well in the Toy Fair.
C. Children celebrate the International Toy Fair.
D. Toymakers are making money from educational products.
