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.

Napping(小睡) after learning something new could help improve your memory--- as long as you dream, scientists say.
They found people who dream about a new task do it better on waking than those who do not sleep or do not dream.
Volunteers were asked to learn the layout(布局，设计) of a 3D computer maze(迷宫) so they could find their way several hours later. Those allowed to take a pap and who also remembered dreaming of the task, found their way to a landmark quicker.
The researchers think the dreams are a sign that unconscious(无意识的) parts of the brain are working hard to process information about the task..
Dr. Robert Stickgold of Harvard Medical School, said dreams may be a marker that the brain is working on the same problem at many levels.
