Q: For 13-year-old Brooke Martin, seeing her golden dog Kayla has become much easier, even when she's not at home. 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. The owner's image and voice will be on the screen. When the owner pushes a button on the iCPooch app, the machine will give the dog some food that has been stored inside the box. 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." From the passage, we know _ . A) the iCPooch is a kind of phone B) Martin set up her company in 2012 C) Martin will sell 5,000 products by the end of 2014 D) Martin held on to her dreams at last

Q: If you are like most people ,your intelligence changes with the seasons ,You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year . A famous scientist ,Ellsworth Huntington (1876--1947),concluded from other men's work and his own among people in different climates that climate and temperature have an effect on your mental abilities . He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat .This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however , that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer . Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in nature . Fall is the next-best season ,then winter .As for summer ,it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking . Why is spring the best season for thinking ? Because _ . A) all nature ,including man ,is growing then B) it lasts longer than the other seasons C) it is not too warm and not too cold D) both B and C

Q: You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year. You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly. Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those which you might have. Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to these questions. (1)Do you move your lips when reading silently? (2)Do you point to words with your finger as you read? (3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read? (4)Do you read one word at a time? If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them,or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin in one hand and hold your head still . If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance as your eyes travel across the lines of words. Even if you do rather fast now, you can learn to read even faster.As you probably have been told, the fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance. Read in thought groups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these things will be able to read faster When you read, _ . A) don't keep your head still B) don't hold your books with your hands C) don't stand up near a desk D) don't use your finger to point to words
