Amazing Machines!
The deepest diving submarine
The Japanese research submarine Shinkai 6500 can dive deeper than any other submarine. On August 11, 1989, it went down to a depth of 6,526 meters beneath the ocean's surface. The submarine is in 935 meters long, about the size of a bus and can take up to three people. It is used for ocean research all over the world.
The most useful television
The Viera is the name of the world's only digital entertainment device that can go underwater. It is made and sold in Japan. You can listen to your favorite music, or even watch a movie, all from the comfort of your bathtub. And the battery lasts over five hours if you're planning to spend a long time bathing. You can even use headphones with it — all you'll need is to find a pair that is waterproof!
The smartest monitor
The Japanese company EizoNanao has invented a very special computer monitor, called the FlexScan monitor. The FlexScan monitor can stand up to 23 centimeters high, and it can turn almost 180 degrees left or right. It weighs only 4.3kg. What's more, it can help save electricity. It senses when you have left your computer and turns itself off when you've been gone for more than 40 seconds. When you come back, it knows to turns itself back on!
The smallest motorcycle
A Swedish man named Tom Wiberg built the world's smallest motorcycle that can be ridden by a person. He calls it the Small Toe. The front wheel is only 1.6 centimeters wide, and the back wheel is 2.2 centimeters wide. The rider sits barely seven centimeters above the ground. In 2003, Wiberg rode his machine for more than ten meters and set a new Guinness World Record for the smallest rideable motorcycle ever built.

Dịch nghĩa. Theo bài văn, đâu là đúng về các loại máy móc trong bài?
A. chúng rất nhỏ B. chúng có máy tính
C. chúng đặc biệt ở một cách nào đó D. bạn có thể mua chúng ở tiệm
Giải thích: A sai do tàu ngầm không hề nhỏ, B và D sai do không có thông tin gì về việc các thiết bị có máy tính bên trong hay không hay có mua được ở tiệm hay không. Điểm chung là chúng đều đặc biệt, khác với các thiết bị thường.
