We also communicate by using programs like Skype and Face Time. We cant send tastes, smells or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smart phones to do just that.Adrian David Cheok is a professor at City University in London. He wants people to experience communication using all of their senses. He said In the real world, we can open up the glass, open the window. We can touch, we can taste, we can smell in the real world.To give users a sense of taste, researchers designed two electrodes (电极）that are placed on the tongue. A chemical process creates different tastes through molecules (微粒)on the surface of the tongue. This chemical process sends electrical signals that convince the brain that a person is tasting something. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes.You put these two silver electrodes in your mouth, you put your tongue in between and then it stimulates electrically your tongue and you get a virtual taste perception in your brain.A device(设备）called Scentee permits users to have the sense of smell. Scentee plugs into a smart phone and can spray tiny clouds of fragrances, including flowers, fruits and coffee. Professor Cheok says the person speaking can activate the device.Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells. The container must be replaced when all the scents（pleasant smells) run out.（1）Where could the passage most probably be taken from?A . A news story.B . An advertisement.C . A science fiction.D .

However, for many years, Americans have expressed fear that the industry is in danger.Matthew Burnett knows this all too well. The American businessman started a watch company in 2007. At first, he had overseas（海外的） manufacturers make all his products. As a result, Burnett often faced shipping delays（延误）, a lack（缺乏） of quality control, and time zone problems. Later, he developed into leather goods. Still, he tried to find factories in the country to make the wallets, belts, and other products of his new brand. And he was not alone. Many American businessmen found it easier to go out of the country for manufacturing. There was no central marketplace for the industry.So, Matthew Burnett, and his business partner Tanya Menendez, created one. They called it Makers Row. Since 2012, the online marketplace has been connecting businessmen with American manufacturers.Matthew Burnett explains. What we try to do at Makers Row is to encourage the brands to start producing in the United States so that you see more made in America products on the shelves. We used to produce 97 percent of the goods that we consume here in the United States, today its less than three percent. So it makes it very challenging to find sometimes made in America products, but thats the situation were trying to change, by bringing these brands back home to produce.Makers Row helps brands and businesses find and organize their supply chains（供应链）in the country. Besides, Makers Row can be especially helpful to new or part-time entrepreneurs（企业家）. The site, M, can provide a plan for turning an idea into a business. And co-founder Tanya Menendez says Makers Row offers classes and training. We have an online course. Theyre designed for people with busy lifestyles or those who may start off working 9-to-5. Today, the Makers Row website has 80,000 registered users.The BCG company in Boston advises businesses around the world. It estimates（估计） the average cost to manufacture goods in the U.S. is only five-percent higher than in China. And the company predicts（预计） that by 2018 the cost difference will narrow further, to as little as two percent higher. Makers Row and other similar efforts could play a big part in making that prediction come true.（1）What is true about the situation of manufacturing in the U.S.? A . It plays an unimportant part in the country.B . Its important and the top of the world.C . Its important in the country but not as good as before.D . Few people in the U.S. care about this industry.（2）According to Burnett, what problems did he face when he found overseas manufacturers? A . Time zone problems, shipping delay, and a lack of quality control.B . Shipping delay, high pay, and a lack of quality control.C . A lack of shipping control, high pay and a lack of time.D . Different time zones, shipping delay, a lack of labour.（3）What is the main purpose of Makers Row? A . To help college students learn to start their business.B . To have more products made in America.C . To encourage businessmen to find overseas manufacturers.D . To raise money through online lessons.（4）According to the last paragraph, which of the followings is not true? A . It is predicted that the cost difference between America and China will be smaller.B . Now the average cost in the U.S. is 5% smaller than in China.C . The average cost in the U.S. will probably be 2% higher than in China.D . Makers Row will help to make the cost difference smaller.（5）What is the best title for the article? A .
