  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 studying dog barks. They found that dog noises can be broken down into some different feelings: happiness, sadness, frustration. Later they also found dog noises have feelings of anger and desire (愿望).
  Part of the Bow-Lingual device hangs on the dog’s neck. 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 US $120 to read a dog’s mind?” they ask.
  But those who have bought Bow-Lingual praise the device. Pet owner Keiko Egawa, of Japan, says it helps her pity for 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!
   1. This passage is mainly talking about ____.
   A. Bow-Lingual’s inventors
   B. dog barks and their different emotions
   C. talking dogs
   D. a little help for dog owners
   2. Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?____.
   A. Dog owners now can understand their dogs better
   B. Bow-Lingual enables dogs to talk in English, Korean or Japanese
   C. People who have used the Bow-Lingual device say it helps them better understand their dogs
   D. More and more Chinese dog owners would keep studying Studio Classroom in order to know more English than their dogs
   3. How many feelings did inventors find in dog noises? ____.
   A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
   4. What does “scoffed at” mean in the 4th paragraph? ____.
   A. Shouted at B. Questioned about
   C. Laughed at D. Doubted about
   5. The writer of this passage is probable to be ____.
   A. a reporter B. a dog owner
   C. an advertiser D. an expert on dog barks
