Dog owners now have a little help understanding their angry friends. A new device called Bow-Lingual “translates” dog barks into English, Korea or Japanese.

Bow-Lingual’s Japanese inventors spent much time and money analyzing dog barks. They found that dog noises can be broken down into six different emotions: happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, assertion and desire. Part of the Bow-Lingual device hangs on the dog’s collar. The other part is a handle-held unit for the owner. When the dog barks, the unit displays translated phrases.

Some people have scoffed at Bow-Lingual. “Who would pay US $ 120 to read a dog’s mind?” they ask, but those who have purchased Bow-Lingual praise the device. Pet owner Keiko Egawa, of Japan, says it helps her empathize with her dog, Harry. “Before we go to the park, he always says he wants to play,” says Egawa, “and after a walk, he always says he is hungry. ”

Bow-Lingual is not yet available in Chinese. So you’d better keep studying Studio Classroom, or soon your dog may know more English than you do!

1.The writer of this passage is most likely to be _____.

A. an advertiser B. a reporter

C. a dog owner D. an expert on dog barks

2.What does “scoffed at” mean in the 3rd paragraph?

A. Doubted about. B. Questioned at.

C. Laughed at. D. Shouted at.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Bow-Lingual is a new device that enables dogs to talk in English, Korean or Japanese.

B. Dog owners now can understand their dogs better as they stay longer with them.

C. People who have used the Bow-Lingual say it helps them better understand their dogs.

D. Chinese dog owners need keep studying to know more English than their dogs.

4.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. A little help for dog owners.

B. Dog barks and their different emotions.

C. Dogs that can talk.

D. Bow-Lingual’s inventors.

When you go to the doctor, you like to come away with a prescription．It makes you feel better to know you will get some medicine．But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed．Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well．In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo．

A placebo is a sugar pill，a harmless shot，or ail empty capsule．Even though they have no medicine in them , these things seem to make people well．The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better．How does this happen?

The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself．It is as if there was a doctor in each of us．The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it．But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body．Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself．These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine，then it will act as if it did，and the body will feel better．

Placebos do not always work．The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor．If the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient，then the placebo is more likely to work．So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all．

A placebo can also have bad effects．If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine，then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebo．This would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your body．Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used．They think there is still not enough known about it．

The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is．There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind．And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo．

1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A．The placebo． B．The bad effect．

C．The body． D．The medicine．

2.What do we know about placebo according to the passage?

A．It contains some sort of medicine．

B．It won’t function if you are negative about medicine．

C．People who don’t believe placebo can’t be healed by it．

D．Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body

3.Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?

A．The patient needs help badly．

B．The patient believes in the doctor．

C．The doctor knows better about your body．

D．The doctor has carefully studied medicine．

4.What is the best title for the text?

A．Placebo：Work on Your Mind

B．Placebo：The Most Powerful Medicin

C．Placebo：The Best Doctor

D．Placebo：Heal Your Body

閱讀下列短文 ，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) （A、B、C、和D）中 ，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and wi-fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.

Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (白血病). Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors. “It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk,” said Carpenter.

But others believe these concerns are unjustified. Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology(流行病學(xué)) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones, ” said Linet. “We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger.”

Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (電磁場(chǎng)) and illness — so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.

1.From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because ________.

A. they have evidence that the use of cellphones can lead to cancer

B. they make a fuss over cellphone use

C. some experts have given a warning

D. cellphones are responsible for brain tumors

2.By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones,” Dr Martha Linet has the idea that ________.

A. the worrying is unnecessary

B. cancer-warning labels should be on cellphones

C. there is a link between cellphones and cancer

D. cellphones have nothing to do with cancer

3.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?

A. Optimistic. B. Objective.

C. Opposite. D. Casual.

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Cellphones: is there a cancer link?

B. There is a link between cellphone and cancer

C. A research on the cellphone

D. The cellphone and radiation epidemiology
