For over 2000 years, the good old iron horseshoe has remained the only reliable footwear f horses, but an Austrian company is ready to “take the horse out of the Iron Age” with the world’s first equine(似馬的) running shoes, the Megasus Horserunners.

Charly Forstner, the founder of Megasus, learned that over 50% of horses that , put down suffered from severe hoof (蹄) and leg problems. 20 years ago, he decided to devote his life to coming up with a better alternative to the iron horseshoe. Recently he created truly revolutionary-clip-on running shoes for horses.

While the iron horseshoe is known for its durability and adjustability it also has some serious flaws-it’s heavy, restricts movement, has no shock absorption, channels heat and cold to the inner hoof, and the need for nailing can destroy the hoof horn. But finding hoof boots that don’t rub on a horse, leg and hoof, are easy to put on and remove, and stay on all kinds of terrain(地形), can be a real struggle. The Megasus Horserunners claim to combine all the qualities of both choices, while getting rid of the downsides.

“The innovative Megasus Horserunners offer many advantages. They are lightweight, can be adjusted individually, easy to put on, and offer protection without permanence,” a Megasus press release states.

“It can also stay put in all kinds of terrain including mud and water plus it allows the hoof to be flexible. The product is also designed to protect the sole from bruising, cracking and other injuries by offering shock absorption. It does not accumulate snow, dirt or mud and is easy to clean.”

After successful tests, Megasus sought to raise some money for production through crowdfunding online, asking for ?100,00. Finally, they managed to raise ?169,136. The first Megasus Horserunners are scheduled to be shipped in July 2017.

1.Forstner decided to change the iron horseshoe because .

A. he wanted to increase his fame.

B. he found the iron horseshoe made horses suffer.

C. his company asked him to invent a new horseshoe.

D. he was an animal welfare inspector.

2.Which of the following is close to the underlined word “flaw” in Para. 4?

A. loss B. mistake

C. disadvantage D. inconvenience

3.How did Megasus get their fund to produce their products?

A. They collected money on a platform online.

B. They raised money among their campaigners.

C. They borrowed money from the local banks.

D. They launched a campaign in the market.

4.From the passage, we can infer .

A. the Megasus Horserunners can only allow horses to run in mud and water.

B. the Megasus Horserunners won great popularity on the Internet.

C. the Megasus Horseruuners made it easy for horses to hurt their hooves.

D. the Megasus Horseruuners can clip-on to the horse’s hooves automatically.

Like human beings, dogs may catch cold because of cold weather, wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs. If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes, coughs or sneezes(打噴嚏）, then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold.

A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power（免疫力）to get rid of the cold naturally. Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.

You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet. Healthy food can really do wonders. Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet（獸醫(yī)）or is healthy for your pet. Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A, C and E.

Keep your dog warm. The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house. Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet. At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets. This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.

Increase the fluid（流質）intake as it helps a lot. Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth（肉湯）in water which will give your dog strength. Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）.

Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold. It makes the nasal（鼻的）passage wet, which helps proper breathing. Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes. Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.

These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold. However, if you are not able to find any improvement in its health, then turn to the vet for help immediately. Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications（并發(fā)癥）.

1.From the first paragraph we know about __________.

A．the difficulty in keeping a dog as a pet

A．keep it inside during cold and wet weather

Are you still worried about overcharging for your luggage over the weight limit? An " Airport Jacket" containing up to 15kg luggage is designed to help frequent flyers bypass(繞過) airport baggage queues, reduce baggage fees and really lower the risk of lost luggage.

" With airlines beginning to charge for carry - on baggage as well as severely limiting 10aggage allowances for the low fare economy traveler, my partner and I have designed a jacket that can wear your laptop, tablet, two pairs of shoes, a pair of jeans, five T - shirts, a jumper and a camera," designer Claire Murphy explains. "It totals 14 deep pockets, including 8 pockets at hip length, 11 pockets at three - quarter length and 14 pockets at full length. "

. Claire and Benke Murphy came up with the idea while traveling home with their newborn child. They had so much extra carry - on luggage that the airline tried to charge them $ 140 for it, more than the cost of their tickets. So they had to put clothes, chargers, diapers and toys into their pockets, until just over the weight limit. They escaped the tax, but everything sticking out of their pocket saw a pretty uncomfortable plane ride.

However, people have been raising questions about the usefulness of the Airport Jacket, especially the trouble of going through security checkpoints. They are arguing that having to take all out and then putting them back into the pockets is not worth the few tens of dollars you save on a checked luggage.

But Benke claims that walking through airport security is not an issue as long as you follow guidelines for carry - on luggage. " It only needs to be worn when checking in and at the boarding gate. What' s more, Airport security is not looking at how you store your luggage but checking its contents. "

Its makers are currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, trying to raise $ AU100, 000. But they've only raised $ AU3, 675 so far, although they still have 37 days to go, so it's still hopeful And even if this fails, they may still find a way to get it to market.

1.What's the least possible benefit of using the Airport Jacket?

A. it may cut down on the luggage fees.

B. it may decrease the risk of losing luggage.

C. it may save the time of passing long queues.

D. it can guarantee you a comfortable flight service. .

2.What does the paragraph 3 mainly discuss about?

A. how much luggage the couple carried

B. how luckily the couple avoided overcharging

C. how the designers got their inspiration

D. how painful the couple's flying experience was

3.What can we infer from this passage?

A. The pockets of the 'Airport Jacket have 28 in total.

B. Not all regard the Airport Jacket as a perfect invention.

C. Crowdfunding is the best way to collect money you need.

D. Airports now begin to limit the number of economy travelers.

4.What will the author probably mention in the next paragraph?

A. Their kinds of anxiety and fear facing failure.

B. Their possible measures to market their product.

C. Their sharp and powerful attack against those opposed.

D. Their attempts to improve and enlarge the production capacity.
