2.Nearly two-thirds of U.S.households,or 80million homes,have pets and Americans spent more than $60billion on them last year,according to the American Pet Products Association."The number of pets in the world is growing extremely fast and tat opens up the market,"said Peter Harrop,chairman of IDTechEx,a technology market research firm."I'm sure five years from now there will be all sorts of things we can't imagine."Already,there are devices that let your pets call you (PetChatz),play games and win treats when they're home alone (CleverPet) and even speak wth a human voice (Petspeak).
The Petzi TreatCam lets Anne Ryan check on her dogs Oscar and Reggie at her Berkeley home when she's working in San Francisco or traveling out of state.The Internet-connected device lets her see her dogs,talk to them,take photos and even dispense(分发) treats-using an app on her phone."I turn it on,get to see them,get to talk to them and it changes my mood,and puts me back in a positive frame,"said Ryan said."I didn't know that I needed it,but now I don't think that I could live without it."
The Petzi TreatCam was created by San Jose-based Petzila,which was founded by two veteran technology executives who wanted to get their pets online.The startup also created a social media app that lets owners share pet photos.
Whistle,a new San Francisco company,sells the Pet Tracker that alerts owners when their pets have left their"safe zone"and helps find them if they get lost.The device also lets owners track how much exercise and sleep their animals are getting.
But as more pet-tech gadgets come to market,experts caution owners against relying on them too much."The technology can be useful as an adjunct(附属物),a way of enriching your relationship with your pet,but certainly not a substitute for time spent with your dog,"said Pamela Wyman,who runs the DogEvolve training school in Oakland.

(36)D There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness,roads towards victory and jubilation (快乐),and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.
(37)C There are no guarantees.This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life.
Nobody said that choosing to do the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness.Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee that it would be returned.Gaining fame and fortune does not guarantee happiness.Accepting a good word from an influential superior to cut your trip short up the career ladder is not always bad,especially if you are highly qualified and competent.There are too many possible outcomes,which you really cannot control.(38)F Since life offers no guarantee and you would never know that your decision would be wrong until you have made it,then you might as well take the risk and decide.It is definitely better than keeping yourself in limbo(中间状态).(39)G It is a all a matter of perspective.You have the choice between being a lost traveler or an accidental tourist of life.But take caution that you do not make decisions haphazardly(冒险地).(40)B.
A.But do not regret it whatever the outcome. B.Taking risks is not about being careless and stupid. C.You do not really know where a road will lead you until you take it. D.In our life many roads would come our way as we journey through life. E.Now that you have made a decision,be read to face its consequences:good and bad. F.The only thing you have power over is the decisions that you will make,and how you would act and react to different situations. G.Although it is true that one wrong turn could get you lost,it could also be that such a turn could be an opportunity for an adventure,moreover open more roads. |
