translation products coming to u. s.a japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadgetunder the name of bowlingualin u. s. pet stores and gift shops this summer.tokyo-based takara co. ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in japan late last year. it is forecasting far bigger sales once an english language translation for dogs comes to america in august. the united states is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in japan.we know that the americans love their dogs so much, so we dont think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product, the takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in atlanta.regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by time magazine, bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制台) that is connected to a database (数据库). the console divides each bark into six emotional typeshappiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desireand shows common phrases, such as youre ticking me off, that fit the dogs emotional state.takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.one thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dogs world since takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. they are too unpredictable (反复无常) , the marketing manager said.44.this passage mainly tells us that bowlingual _.a. was invented in japan b. has developed quicklyc. will be sold in america d. sells well

spring of 2003.c. in the summer of 2002. d. in the autumn of 2003.47.from the passage, we can see that takara co. ltd. is _ the sale of its new product.a. proud of b. satisfied with c. confident of d. worried about (d)thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. to be human is to think. but thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. thinking about drinking is the key to critical（判断性的）thinking. when you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（过程）. otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.the word “critical” here has a special meaning. it does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. the nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on tv, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. if you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. if you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. they take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in todays world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. if you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence（智力）, you may learn something new from a story about albert einstein. the first time banesh hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with albert einstein. hoffman was too nervous to speak. but einstein immediately put hoffman at ease by saying, “please go slowly. i dont understand things quickly.”48.if you are a critical thinker, you will _.athink deeply about different ideas btrust the reports in the newspapersctake one view against another view dcriticize other people for their mistakes49.in the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that _.athe smarter you are, the faster you do thingsbthe faster you do things, the smarter yo
