Martin made a kind of machine--iCPooch. It allows pet owners to video chat with their pets and sends food from other places.2-1-c-n-j-y When a dog owner puts the iCPooch app on a phone, he or she can connect to the iCPooch machine at home and start talking.

How could Martin come up with the idea? The idea came to the Washington girl when she took a business class last year. That led her to think about helping her pet Kayla. Kayla always looked sad when she was left alone at home."I wanted to know how you could talk to your dog if you were not at home. And what if you were able to give them a treat while you were away?" Martin explained her idea. Now Martin and her family have set up a company. They've had investments from businessmen and asked a factory to make the product. They expected to sell 8,000 products by the end of 2015. Martin is satisfied with her success. "A year ago, I never thought that I would be able to start a business, or even having an idea for a business," she said. "I've learned that we are supposed to hold on to your dreams." Question: What color is Brooke Martin's dog? - It's white. - It's yellow. - It's golden. - It's black.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use the 3%--- the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted. Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid a serious water shortage later on? First we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to _ it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next? The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger of drying up. ,,. Question: From the passage we learn _ . - if every city reused its water, we'll be in no danger of drying up - man can only drink and use about 25% of water on the earth - today in most large cities water is used only once - water can be used only once
today in most large cities water is used only once
