A Japanese toy maker says that they've developed a gadget(小器具) that translates(翻譯) dog barks into human languages and plan to begin selling the gadgets--under the name of Bowlingual--in the US pet stores and present shops this summer.

People laughed when the Japanese toy maker Takara company made the world's first dog-human translation machine last year. But about 300,000 of them have been sold since it was on sale in Japan last year. Far bigger sales will be expected once an English language translation machine for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan.

"We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don't think they' 11 mind spending$ 120 on this gadget," the Takara marketing manager said before the journalists at a meeting in Atlanta. Bowlingual, one of US Time magazine's coolest inventions of 2002, has two parts. A microphone is tied to the dog's collar and sends out sound information to the gadget held by the owner. Then the translation is done in the gadget by a database with every kind of barks. Those barks show six feelings - happiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, declaration and desire. Each of the feelings is then translated into words like "Let's play." "Look at me!" or "Spend more time with me."

Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget. One thing that seems certain is that the markets for animal translation machines will probably be a dog's world since Takara has no plans to develop such a gadget for cats. "They are too changeable," the marketing manager said.

1. The first three paragraphs(段落) of the passage mainly tell us that Bowlingual_________

A. was invented in Japan                     B. has developed quickly

C. wi11 be sold in America                 D .sells well for its price

2. When was this passage most probably written?

A. In the autumn of 2002.                  B. In the spring of 2003.

C. In the summer of 2002.                   D. In the winter of 2003.

3. We can learn from the passage that_________.

A. people need to talk to dogs

B. there are more dogs in America than in Japan

C. Japanese people don't like dogs

D. the company will soon make a gadget for kids

4. The underlined word "they" in the last sentence refers to_________

A. markets            B. dogs              C. plans                 D. cats

5. From the passage, we can see that Takara is_________ the sale of its new gadget in the US    A. proud of             B. pleased with          C. confident of         D. worried about

Astronauts have already visited the moon and lived on space stations. They' ve never been to another planet, but they might visit Mars soon. The astronauts will spend about six months traveling to the planet, then about two years on the planet and about six months traveling back to the earth. They' ll be away from the earth for about three years, so they' 11 need a lot of food !

It' s very expensive to take food into space. It costs about 120,000 dollars to carry something that weighs one kilogram. So an apple on Mars could cost 20,000 dollars! Of course, they will need to take quite a lot of food with them to feed the astronauts for three years. This amount of fresh food can not stay fresh, and is very expensive to take, so they need to find food that is not very heavy.     

At the moment, astronauts on space stations eat dried food. It's very light, so it doesn't cost a lot of money to carry it into space. But astronauts stay healthier and happier if they eat fresh food. In the future, astronauts on Mars may grow vegetables like lettuce, spinach and carrots.

Astronauts on Mars will probably have special machines. They' ll use these machines to change beans into foods that taste like meat or cheese because it won' t be possible to keep animals in space.

1. The astronauts plan to go to           next.

2. Why do the astronauts have to eat dried food?

A. Because it is safe.            B. Because it makes them happy.    

C. Because it is cheap to buy.     D. Because it is cheap to carry.     

3. What may astronauts do in the future?

A. Take enough fresh food for their journey.     

B. Grow some fresh vegetables on Mars.

    C. Keep animals in space.

    D. Grow food on their space stations.

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

A. It will take the astronauts six. months to get to a planet.    

B. If we take two kilograms of apples into space, it could cost 40,000 dollars.

C. Dried food is as healthy as fresh food for astronauts in space.

    D. Astronauts will get foods that taste like meat or cheese from beans on Mars.
