Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd(有限公司)says about 300,000 of the dog translating gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. They think far bigger sales come to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan.
Regarded as one of the coolest inventions(发明)of 2002 by Time magazine, the gadget translates each bark into six feelings. It can tell whether the dog is happy, sad, disappointed or angry etc.
“We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don’t think they will mind spending $ 120 on this gadget,” the marketing manager said during an interview in America.
One thing that seems certain is that the market for animal translation gadgets will likely keep on a dog’s world since Takara has no plans to make a gadget for cats. “They are too changeable,” the marketing manager said.

Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Wars and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they appear again in dreams.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of sad memories.
In November, some scientists tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body producing chemicals (化学品) that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused plenty of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
"Some memories can destroy people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a dream. They usually come with very sad emotions." said Roger Pitman, a scientist of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve (减轻) a lot of that suffering. "
But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous co change memories because memories give us our identity (特质), They also help us all get away from the mistakes of the past.
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to erase those memories," said Rebecca Dresser.
59. The passage is mainly about________
A. a new medical invention B. a new research on memories
C. a way of erasing sad memories D. an argument about the research on the pill
60. The underlined word "scars" in Paragraph One is close in meaning to ________.

B. the pill will stop people's bad experiences
C. taking the pill will do harm to people's health

62. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?
