When a dog owner puts the iCPooch app on a phone, he or she can connect to the iCPooch machine at home and start talking. The owner's image(影像) and voice will be on the screen. When the owner pushes a button on the iCPooch app, the machine will give the dog some food that has been stored inside the box.
How could Martin come up with the idea? The idea came to the Washington girl when she took a business class last year. That led her to think about helping her pet Kayla. Kayla always looked sad when she was left alone at home.“I wanted to know how you could talk to your dog if you were not at home. And what if you were able to give them a treat while you were away?” Martin explained her idea.
Now Martin and her family have set up a company. They’ve had investments (投资) from businessmen and asked a factory to make the product. They expected to sell 8,000 products by the end of 2015.
Martin is satisfied(满意的) with her success. “A year ago, I never thought that I would be able to start a business, or even having an idea for a business,” she said. “I’ve learned that we are supposed to hold on to your dreams.”

Researchers at an American university are working to create special chewing gum (口香糖) to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Experts agree that vaccinations (接种疫苗) are the best way to fight against COVID-19.
“This chewing gum is made from plant-grown ACE2 protein, a special material which can neutralize (使无效) the virus in the mouth. In other words, when the virus comes in the mouth, ACE2 protein stops it there,” Henry Daniell, the leader of the research, explained. “So, the virus does not reach inside the body and the infection stops there.”
The research is still in its early stages, and the researchers are planning to carry out a clinical trial (临床试验) in humans to decide whether the gum is safe and effective.
“We are already using masks and other things to reduce the chance of spread,” Daniell said.
| A．If it works, the gum could reportedly be used in many situations. |
| B．But it’s also known that vaccinated people can still spread it. |
| C．That’s why this chewing gum is special. |
| D．Before bringing their chewing gum to market, researchers have to decide how much of it should be used each day. |
| E．This gum could be used as another tool to win this fight. |
The AI (人工智能) has changed our lives. There are four useful AI inventions here.
Jiuge The Al can remember 300,000 Chinese poems clearly. What’s more, it can write a poem in a very short time. In a CCTV show, Jiuge beat three great poem fans from a famous college. It will flash(闪) two white lights side to side to show thanks to the bus. | Forpheus The ping-pong robot can play in an easy way with a beginner and a difficult way with a better player. What’s more, it not only encourages players with words like “Good job!”, but also gives some good advice to improve their skills. |
Self-driving AI It can drive the car more safely than humans. It doesn’t drink wine and never feels tired. It can do what we humans do. For example, if a car with this AI has passed a bus, it will flash two white lights side to side to show thanks to the bus. | Facial Recognition(人脸识别) It is used a lot in the world such as ACS.
