    　　Dog owners now have a little help understanding their furry friends．A new device(装置)called Bow-Lingual“translates”dog barks into English, Korean or Japanese．Bow-Lingual 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 ＄120 to read a dog's mind?”they ask．

    　　But those who have purchased(购买)Bow-Lingual praise the device．Pet owner Keiko Egawa, of Japan, says it helps her sympathize(同情)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(可用的)in Chinese．So you'd better keep studying Studio Classroom, or soon your dog may know more English than you do!

    [　　]

    A．

    Bow-Lingual's inventors

        On Tuesday she offered to clean up the apartment for her parents. After she had vacuumed the carpets, she threw away a pile of old newspapers and computer magazines.

On Wednesday she took Foxy for a walk in the park and lost him. She looked for him everywhere, but he had disappeared. The stupid dog came back later, but that was after Mrs Rosenbaum had telephoned nearly everybody in the neighborhood.

    阅读理解:阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。 

        Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and　　 they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated　　 (证实) that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time,　　 prefer water with vitamins (维生素) to water without vitamins, even　　 though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water　　 bottles. When a fragrant flavor (香味) was added to the　　 vitamin—enriched liquid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it　　 and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched (转) to　　 the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back　　 to where the necessary vitamins were.

    　　

    　　    In an experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a　　 cafeteria (自助食堂) with a wide selection of baby food before them.　　 They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested　　 in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating　　 patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select a well　　 balanced diet (饮食).

    　　

    　　     So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on　　 what's best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of "body wisdom" which　　 humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many　　 of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced (影　　 响) by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and　　 blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how　　 much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on　　 around them.　　

    　　

    (1)In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the　　 rat's drinking water to ________.

    [　　]

    A. encourage rats to drink it　　 　　

    B. find out what kind of flavor rats prefer　　 　　

    C. test whether rats know which drink is with fragrant flavor　　 　　

    D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless　　 　　

    (2)The expression "the habit" in the first paragraph refers to　　 drinking water which __________.　　　　　　　　　　

    [　　]

    A. has no smell　　 B. is tasteless

    C. has vitamins　　 D. is flavored　　 　　

    (3)As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats　　 are similar (相似) because ___________.　　　　　　

    　　

    [　　]

    A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet　　 　　

    B. both prefer flavored food and drink　　 　　

    C. both have the same eating patterns　　 　　

    D. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors　　 　　

    (4)In the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies　　 were _________.

    A. given many choices of drinks　　 　　

    B. provided with various kinds of baby food　　 　　

    C. placed and fed in a cafeteria　　 　　

    D. trained to select a balanced diet　　 　　

    (5)According to the passage, adults' (成年人) eating habits differ　　 from those of babies because ____________.　　　　

    　　

    [　　]

    A. adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health　　 　　

    B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods　　 　　

    C. adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs　　 　　

    D. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns

    　　PITTSBURGH－For most people, snakes seem unpleasant or even threatening．But Howie Choset sees in their delicate movements a way to save lives．

    　　The 37-year-old Carnegie Mellon University professor has spent years developing snake-like robots he hopes will eventually slide through fallen buildings in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies．

    　　Dan Kara is president of Robotics Trends, a Northboro, Mass．-based company that publishes an online industry magazine and runs robotics trade shows．He said there are other snake-like robots being developed, mainly at universities, but didn’t know of one that could climb pipes．

    　　The Carnegie Mellon machines are designed to carry cameras and electronic sensors and can be controlled with a joystick(操纵杆)．They move smoothly with the help of small electric motors, or servos, commonly used by hobbyists in model airplanes．

    　　Built from lightweight materials, the robots are about the size of a human arm or smaller．They can sense which way is up, but are only as good as their human operators, Choset added．

    　　Sam Stover, a search term manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency based in Indiana, said snake-type robots would offer greater mobility than equipment currently available, such as cameras attached to extendable roles．

    　　“It just allows us to do something we’ve ot been able to do before, ” Stover said, “We needed them yesterday．”

    　　He said sniffer dogs are still the best search tool for rescue workers, but that they can only be used effectively when workers have access to damaged building．

    　　Stover, among the rescue workers who handled the aftermath(后果)of Hurricane Katrina, said snake robots would have helped rescuers search flooded houses in that disaster．

    　　Choset said the robots may not be ready for use for another five to ten years, depending on funding．

    C．

    D．

    Snake-like robots used in industries．

    The development of snake-like robots．
