People who are worried about bad breath often reach for a toothbrush or a gun. But in the future, personal breath monitoring may include far more than fresh breath.

In face, breath is so rich in chemical compounds that fully understanding it has proved challenging. Each breath contains gases like carbon dioxide, the volatile(挥发性的)remains of recent snacks, medicines and even compounds taken in from things like carpeting or various kinds of air pollution. But breath detectors(检测器) can sort out these substances with increasing sensitivity(敏感性)。

Scientists are building electronic sniffers that examine the exhaled(呼气)air for signs of cancer, asthma(哮喘), and other diseases.

“There are clear signatures in the breath for liver(肝)disease, kidney(肾)disease and heart disease. Breath is a rich mixture that can reflect out state of health and disease.” said Dr. Raed Dweik, director of the Cleveland Clinic, adding “Breath analysis is the future of medical testing.”

He and his partners are testing a desktop system called BreathLink for use in rapid identification of diseases. The system is designed to work wherever there is an Internet connection. To use BreathLink, a person breathes into a long tube, and a breath sample is collected and analyzed within the system. Then it can detail chemical concentrations(浓度)of the breath in graphics. Dr. Raed Dweik said, “If you examine patients of asthma, you will find they have higher levels of nitric oxide(一氧化碳) in their exhaled air. It reflects their abnormal symptoms in the lungs.” His tests have reached 85 percent accuracy(精确度)so far in spotting people with some illness.

But some trained dogs, he pointed out, can sniff out cancer with 99 percent accuracy—although without the ability to identify particular compounds the way some detectors can.

“We are getting better and better,” he said. “But whether we will ever approach the accuracy of the dog—we don’t know.”

1.What is the breath detector used for?

A. To find what kind of disease a person has.

B. To identify substances from people’s breath.

C. To help a patient recover from disease.

D. To smell how bad the breath is.

2.In the fifth paragraph, what Dr. Raed Dwik said is meant to______.

A. show how he and his partners treated patients

B. tell why a person has asthma

C. show how sensitive the device is

D. show how to diagnose a patient of asthma

3.It can be inferred that_______

A. brushing teeth can improve one’s bad breath

B. there are leftovers like snacks and medicines in one’s breath

C. one can know exactly about his physical state through the breath

D. breath analysis can be helpful in medical diagnosis

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of breath detectors?

A. Indifferent B. Positive

C. Doubtful. D. Critical.

Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车)．But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile.Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker，instead of making the worker move to the parts.That is not true，either.Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford.What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better.And he made the whole factory a moving production line.

In the early days of the automobile，almost every car maker raced his cars.It was the best way of gaining public notice.Henry Ford decided to build a racing car.Ford's most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.

The race was in 1901，at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left：the Winton and Ford's.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.

The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race, it began to lose power.Ford started to gain.And near the end of the race, he took the lead.Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became well?known all over the United States.Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That_sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream.Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people.It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for.It will be built of the best materials.It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce.It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”

The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T．So did farmers.Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation.Americans loved the Model T．They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.

Shake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the U S．The restaurants are not“fast food．”They are known as“fast casual．”

Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat．This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald’s has struggled financially．In the last quarter of 2014，McDonald’s net income dropped by about$300 million．The January earnings report brought more bad news．Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected．While McDonald’s is struggling to get their customers back，Shake Shack，is doing well in making money．The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO，or initial public offering，of shares at the end of January．On its first day of trading，Shake Shack went from$21 a share to just under$46 a share．Being part of the“fast casual”trend has helped Shake Shack．Other fast casual restaurants in the U．S．include Chipotle and Panera．

Bonnie Riggs，a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans’restaurant habits for almost 30 years．She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it’s new．It is creative，it is something different and people like to try new things．Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year．Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants，like McDonald’s．Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits，but it has developed fast．Just as Ms．Riggs says，“It’s growing by leaps and bounds，because they meet consumers’needs．They know it's being prepared while they wait，it’s fresh，quality food，good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices．”

Many Americans still like their fast food．They just are not going as often．They are finding other ways to have a meal．
