I. COMPRENSIÓN DE UN TEXTO

A new product has come on the market for those wanting a digital solution to losing weight – a fork. A Hong Kong company, HAPILABS, has presented its HAPIfork at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, USA. The wireless fork records your dining habits, including your eating speed, and then downloads data via USB or Bluetooth to your iPhone or PC. The purpose of the fork is to help you eat more slowly. It tells you how long it took to eat your meal, the number of "fork servings" taken per minute, and the intervals between "fork servings". If you are eating too fast, the fork will vibrate to let you know to slow down. The HAPIfork weighs 65 grams and it costs $99. HAPILABS was founded by Fabrice Boutain. He explained the benefits of his new product, saying: "What is important is you take enough time to masticate the food well." HAPILABS spokesman Andrew Carton said: "Eating too fast and insufficient mastication has been tied to all kinds of problems, including…putting on weight." The company's website says there are many scientific studies that emphasise the negative effects related to eating food too quickly.
