If you struggle to spend more than a few moments away from your computer then a new invention could be for you.
That’s because a pair of Dutch inventors have developed a set of jeans that give a whole new meaning to the phrase “laptop”.
The jeans,known as Beauty and the Geek,come with a fully functional keyboard,a mouse and speakers integrated into the upper leg of the fabric(织物) and are the idea of design company Nieuwe Heren,run by Erik de Nijs and Tim Smit.
The two Dutch handmade the trousers themselves and they are designed to give a user ease of movement while still being in control of the computer.
“They’re not that heavy,” de Nijs told WebProNews.“With the flexible keyboard,small speakers,and a small mouse,they are only a little heavier than your regular jeans.”
He added,“The idea was that you could log in to your computer and control it without sitting in a closed environment behind your desk.”
The jeans are of a modern style and have a back pocket that has been specially designed to cover the mouse,which uses an elastic wire to stay attached.

They stay connected to the laptop via wireless technology in a USB device and are expected to sell at around £250—if they ever make it onto the market.

All Eskimos live most of their lives close to sea or fresh water.They may follow game inland for several hundred miles,but they always return to the shores of rivers,lakes,or seas.Eskimo land has a bare look.Large rocks,pebbles,and sand cover much of the surface.Plants called lichen (地衣) grow on the rocks,and where there is enough soil,grass,flowers,and even small bushes manage to live.No trees can grow on Eskimo land,so geographers sometimes call it the Arctic plains.There are some animals in Eskimo land,such as rabbits,which eat the plants.Other animals,like the white fox and the gray wolf,eat the rabbits.The Eskimo is a meat-eater,too,and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.
The Eskimo year has two main parts:a long,cold winter and a short,cool summer.Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed.Summer is the best time,as food is usually
plentiful.But it is also the time when Eskimos are very busy.Winter is never far away,and the men

must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store,for seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.
The Far North is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun.This is true in the middle of summer,for between April 21st and August 21st the sun never sets in Northern Greenland.But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sunshine at all.Around Oct.21st the Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun set directly south of them,and they don’t see it again until February 22nd.All places on earth get about the same amount of daylight during a year.As a result,if summer is lighter,winter has to be darker.
Winter nights in the Far North are seldom pitch-black.As in the rest of the world,the stars and moon provide a little light.The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see.And with the ground covered with snow,even a little light is reflected back to the Eskimo’s eyes. 68.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Eskimos do not usually eat wolves. B.Eskimos like to chase one another. C.Eskimos depend heavily on water. D.Eskimos are meat-eaters. 69.In the Eskimo year,________.
A.there is no spring and fall B.winter is cold and summer is hot C.summer is a time for growing food D.winter comes early and goes late
70.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “pitch-black” in Paragraph 4?
A.Dark with a little light. B.A little dark. C.Not dark at all. D.Extremely dark.
