15. READ THE TEXT AND MATCH THE
UNDERLINED WORDS TO THE
DEFINITIONS.
Would you like a really different microwave oven? You don't
have to have one like the one your mother made do with years
ago. The NE2932 is really up-to-date. For example, it has a USB
port. You might wonder why a microwave oven needs a USB
port. You just hook it up to your computer and it tells you when
your food is ready. It also has a scanner that works with pre-
packaged food. You just scan the code on the package and
the microwave automatically knows what temperature to use
and how long to heat the food. One of my favorite things about
this microwave is that it works even when you aren't there. You
can program it to cook your food in the morning before you go
to work. Just input the hour you want it to begin and when you
walk in the door in the evening. Your dinner is waiting for you! The
only problem with the microwave is the price. It costs five times
as much as a normal one.
