Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd（有限公司）says about 300,000 of the dog translating gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. They think far bigger sales come to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan.
Regarded as one of the coolest inventions（发明）of 2002 by Time magazine, the gadget translates each bark into six feelings. It can tell whether the dog is happy, sad, disappointed or angry etc.
“We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don’t think they will mind spending $ 120 on this gadget,” the marketing manager said during an interview in America.
One thing that seems certain is that the market for animal translation gadgets will likely keep on a dog’s world since Takara has no plans to make a gadget for cats. “They are too changeable,” the marketing manager said.

| Louis Braille was born in Coupvray, France. He was a very small child. Unluckily, at the age of four, he became blind by accident. Louis began attending school in his town when he was seven years old. Three years later, Louis and his father traveled to Paris. There, he went to a school for blind children. One day a French soldier, Charles Barbier, visited the school. Barbier invented a system of night-reading. This system used small dots for the letters. Soldiers used this system in time of war. Barbier thought this system could help the blind to read. Soon Braille discovered that there were some shortcoming (缺点) in Barbier's system, but it gave Louis a brilliant idea. He improved Barbier's system. By the age of fifteen, his new system was completed! Now he wanted blind schools to try his system. Luck went against him again. The school refused to use his system. Louis died in 1852 in Paris at the age of forty-three. Two years after he died, the blind schools began to use his system. Today we call this system Braille in honour of Louis Braille. His system is used for all languages, and for maths, science, writing, music, and computers for the blind. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。
What is the cleverest machine in history? If you're anything like nine out of ten people in the world, you'll say it's a computer, a machine with mathematical logic(数学逻辑)that can reason(推理)in the same way as humans．
Alan Mathison Turing never expected to be the father of a machine with such a title．
He was born in London in 1912, the second of his parents' two sons．His parents worked in India while Turing and his brother spent their childhoods in Britain．
Turing's loneliness during this time may have led to his lifelong interest in how the human mind works．He believed that the mind creates its own world when the real world is not acceptable to it．At 13, he already showed a talent for mathematics．He wasn't perfect though．His teachers said his work was hard to read．
After graduating from Cambridge University, he remained there as a teacher．At that time, his interest in the human mind led him to draw a machine．
In 1937, Turing wrote a report about his machine．However, few people understand what he was talking about．But the report changed Turing's whole life．After the start of World War Ⅱ, the British Government ordered him to serve in a special department．The task was to break codes used by the Nazis(纳粹)．
Turing's talent shone in this top-secret work．He played a major role in designing an early computer like machines that could decipher(破译)Nazi codes at high speed．After the war, he returned to Cambridge, and built a machine based on his ideas from 1937．
