• 29．Developed by Spanish fashion brand Sepiia，the Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 is a special men's clothing that can reduce the wearer's stress，improve blood flow and increase energy levels.
      Sepiia has been developing smart clothing for years now.Its first-generation clothing included a staining-resistant（抗污） fabric around the cuffs （袖口） and neck，thus requiring less frequent washing，while the second-generation introduced a more breathable fabric that prevented too much sweat，while also being smell-resistant.For its latest generation of smart clothing，Sepiia introduced the concept of health，by developing a fabric that has all the characteristics of previous generations，as well as new bioceramic nanoparticles （生物陶瓷纳米粒） that improve the wearer's health.
      According to Sepiia，the bioceramic nanoparticles are able to reproduce the FIR （Far Infrared Rays 远红外线）from the sun.The heat produced by these rays gets into the wearer's skin and benefits the muscles，joints and blood vessels by promoting blood circulation.
      The bioceramic material also absorbs harmful rays from the sun，thus protecting the wearer's skin，and reflects the sun's rays，creating a virtual heat barrier，keeping the wearer cool and comfortable.
      "We started with clothes that were comfortable，and now our goal is for fashion to evolve towards personal health" Sepiia CEO，Federico Sainz，said.
      Athletes are already using bioceramic nanoparticles in their sleepwear to improve their performance，but Sepiia wants to bring the same benefits to the general public，all through the day.
      The Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 is already available for pre-order via Sepiia's Kickstarter page，for a price of ＄98.If that seems expensive，just keep in mind that Sepiia's smart shirt is a lot more serviceable than ordinary shirts，as well as stain-resistant，so you'll be able to wear it for many years.Who knows，you may even end up saving money.
  
  （1）What is the difference between the latest generation of smart clothing and the previous two？ （no more than 5 words）

  
  （2）What can the Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 make wearers feel？ （no more than 5 words）

  
  （3）What benefit can sleepwear containing bioceramic nanoparticles bring to athletes？ （no more than 5 words）

  
  （4）What does the underlined word in the last paragraph probably mean？ （no more than 10 words）
  

  
  （5）Would you buy the smart shirt？And why？ （no more than 20 words）
