Read the following and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
In the past, cell phones were big and heavy. In the future, telephones will still be big. The good news is that people will be able to fold them in half to make them smaller. The “foldable phone" is now in development.
One company has come up with a smartphone and tablet in one. This device can fold down to the size of a regular cellphone to make it “pocket-size.” The foldable phone has a larger screen, keyboard, and high- quality speakers. This makes it easy to use. The flexible display can go from smartphone to tablet just by unfolding it. The interior screen is so big that it can run three different apps at the same time. People can watch a video, talk about it, and browse websites online. There are also two batteries inside the phone - one on each side.
Many companies have been looking for ways to improve smartphones. The foldable phone is unlike anything else that has come before it. This powerful machine is a smartphone, computer, and camera all in one. There is a current race to get foldable phones on the market. But we’ll have to wait and see how well these new smartphones work. If people like them, maybe one day we will be able to fold and even stretch our phone.

The dog has always been considered man's best friend. Always noted for being particularly faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside, in the cow pasture, on the sheep range, and beside the hunter in forest or blind. He is easy to train, works hard, and often performs astonishing feats. And in the frozen polar regions he was once the principal motive power, before being largely displaced by the plane and helicopter.
(Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending, death, the dog was once thought to have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to men.) Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in the hound's sensitivity to people's feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense of smell, which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation. His record of saving lives is outstanding, for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master.
The dog's major contribution, however, has been to medical research. (Both his diet and his structure are comparable to those of the human being, and so he has been the subject of countless experiments.) open-heạrt surgery has been made possible largely because of the dog. But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies, distemper, and other diseases.
Question 36. The dog has always been noted for _______.
A. protecting children B. assisting shepherds
C. helping hunters D. herding cattle
Question 37. The dog probably whines in the presence of death because he can ______.
A. see ghosts and spirits B. give warning of danger
C. sense unhappiness around him D. perform astonishing feats
Question 38. Dogs are similar to human beings in ______.
A. size B. structure C. temperament D. appearance
Question 39. The dog has been of most value to man in the development of _____.
A. a treatment for rabies B. open-heart surgery
C. a cure for distemper D. superior hearing ability
Question 40. The article does not say whether the scientists experiments with dogs have _____.
A. benefited animals other than dogs B. served man
C. helped other dogs D. contributed to medical knowledge
