Every minute，someone is setting up an Internet company somewhere, in the worlD． Each one is searching for the one great idea that could make his web company click in a big way．And they are trying all kinds of tricks to attract people towards their websites．While some websites offer sounds，cartoons and amazing photos on screen to make their sites almost a movie-like experience for the viewers，others provide free downloads and competitions．
A company in California，US，has decided to offer online smells to people who visit its website．
That is，if a pizza image comes on screen，your nose will catch the smell of bread and cheese！All you need to do is to connect a device（設備）called“iSmell”with your computer．This smart little device contains（包含）some chemicals that can create different kinds of smells．
The company has invented software that changes the chemical composition（成分）of different smells into digital signals(數字信號）．An onscreen image，which is programmed with the proper digital signal，will start the“iSmell" device．The device will use the software to change' the digital signal again and let go of the correct smell．This device reads the digital smell code（代碼）from the website and creates the proper smell from its store of chemicals．This smell is then made to blow softly in the direction of the user with the support of a small fan．
In order to let go of the correct smell，the company has created a“Scent Registry”，which contains a digital index of thousands of smells．The company plans to allow website developers to integrate（合成）the proper smells in digital code to their games and images．The company is also hoping that Hollywood filmmakers will use the smell technology in their movies．Imagine audiences getting the smell of rocket fuel as a spacecraft takes off on the cinema screen！Of course，filmmakers will have to be careful not to shoot in dirty neighborhoods，which have a lot of rubbish lying arounD．

A life coach (人生導師) is somebody who helps you reach all kinds of personal and professional goals (目標). Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach. Here are some tips for you:
? Pay attention to your relationships with others.
Ask yourself the following questions: What do you do with disagreements? When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them? Your relationships with friends, family members and teachers show a lot about the kind of person you are.
? Face the fears about the future.
Now, imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. We often give better advice than we are willing to take ourselves. Remember that even the most successful people were probably told that what they wanted to do was impossible, but they followed their dreams and succeeded.
? Develop your talents.
If you want to reach your goals, you will have to spend more time developing the talents you already have, and uncovering any hidden talents that you haven’t discovered yet. So you can take classes in subjects that you are interested in, even if you have no experience.
? Be thankful (感激的).
Take some time to be thankful for the things you do have. Remember positive (積極的) memories. Think of the best day(s) you have had in the past month or year. Remember special parties, vacations and holidays. Be thankful to the wonderful people you have in your life.

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
