Inventions change how we live, work, play and think about things. Every year, TIME magazine lists the 100 best inventions. Let's take a look.

They may have poor vision (视力) or reading difficulties. Now OrCam Read can help them! It's the first reading pen with a smart camera and an AI system. After scanning (扫描) a page of text with the click of a button, it can read the text aloud to the user. You don't need to connect it to the Internet.
Sweet Idea
However, today's beekeeping business (养蜂业) is not good for those hard-working insects. Beekeepers may kill them after getting honey, because it's cheaper than feeding the bees through the winter. To save the bees, a company named MeliBio has found a way to make the world's first bee-free honey.
Keep You Calm
When you feel angry or unhappy, what will you do? Scientists say you can try to calm others. That's why Purrble was invented. This bear-like toy has 9 sensors (感应器). It has a quick "heartbeat (心跳)". As you hold and pet it, its "heartbeat" slows. It also makes a sound like a cat. It sounds like it really enjoys your touch! Through petting Purrble, you will become more aware of your own feelings and learn how to calm yourself.
