A dog spent the last four years of his life waiting at a crossroad in the Thai city of Khon Kaen as if waiting for someone. At first people thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that crossroad, but a woman had been coming round regularly to bring him food and water. One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking care of him. She had come to drop off some food.

Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence(AI) software to recognize and follow up the faces of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)in the wild. The new software will allow researchers and wildlife conservationists to significantly cut back on time spent analyzing videos, according to the new paper published in Science Advances. For species(物种)like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many years，getting photos of their behavior taken from short-term field research can only tell us so much，” says Dan Schofield， researcher and DPhil student at Oxford University’s Private Models Lab, School of Anthropology. “By taking advantage of the power of machine learning to unlock large video files , it makes it possible to measure behavior over the long term. ’’ The computer model was trained using over 10 million images(影像):from Kyoto University s Primate Research Institute(PRI) video files of wild chimpanzees in Guinea,West Africa. The new software is the first to continuously track and recognize individual a wide range of poses, performing with high accuracy in difficult conditions such as low lighting and poor image quality. “Access to this large video file has allowed us to use deep neural networks to train models to a degree that was previously not possible,” says Arsha Nagrad, co-auther of the study and DPhil student at the Department of Engineer Science ,University of Oxford .” Additionally, our new software differs from previous primate face recognition software in that it can be applied to videos with limited manual intervention(人工干预)，saving hours of time. ” The technology can be potentially used to monitor species for conservation Although the present application focuses on chimpanzees, the AI software provided will be applied to other species, and help drive the adoption of AI systems to solve(解决)a range of problems in the wildlife sciences. 1.What is the purpose of developing the new soft? A.To save wildlife researchers’ time spent in the labs. B.To keep track of wildlife conservationists' behaviors. C.To protect chimpanzees and help them to live longer . D.To recognize and track the faces of wild chimpanzees. 2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Getting photos. B.Analyzing videos. C.A powerful machine D.The new AI software. 3.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A.The working principle of the new software. B.Some limitations of using the new software. C.The unique advantages of the new software. D.Controversial attitudes to the new software. 4.What can be known from the last paragraph? A.Technology advance is the final goal of science B.The new software won’t just be applied to chimpanzees. C.AI systems are widely used in the wildlife sciences. D.The application of the new technology isn’t easy.

A typical child plays many roles, such as friend, neighbor, son or daughter. Simply reminding children of that fact can lead to better problem-solving and more flexible thinking, according to new research from Duke University. Better problem-solving was just one positive finding of the study, said lead author Sarah Gaither, an assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke. After thinking about their own various identities, children also showed more flexible thinking about race and other social groupings—a behavior that could be valuable in an increasingly diverse society. In a series of experiments, Gaither and her colleagues looked at 196 children, ages 6 and 7. In an experiment, one group of children was reminded that they had various identities，such as son，daughter, reader or helper. A second group of children was reminded of their multiple physical attributes，such as a mouth，arms and legs. All the children then needed to handle a few tasks Children who were reminded of their various identities showed stronger problem-solving and creative thinking skills. When shown pictures of a bear staring at honey-filled beehive(蜂窝)high up in a tree，these children had more creative ideas for how the bear might get the honey, such as turning over a bowl so that it became a stool(凳子). In other words, they saw a new use for the bowl. Children who were reminded of their multiple roles also showed more flexible thinking about social groupings. When asked to categorize different photos of faces, they suggested many ways to Spso. They identified smiling faces such as unsmiling ones, and old and young faces. The other children，meanwhile, primarily grouped people’s faces by race and gender(性别). The-study suggests ways to promote flexible thinking for the young, which could be especially valuable for teachers." Gaither said. “We have this tendency in our society to only think about ourselves in connection with one important group at a time，” Gaither said. “When kids think that they have various identities，they show greater abilities. ’’ 1.What are all the kids asked to do in the experiments? A.Play different kinds of roles. B.Remind others of their roles. C.Approach several tasks. D.Classify a group of tasks. 2.How does the author mainly clarify the conclusions of the study in paragraph 4? A.By giving examples. B.By using experts’ words. C.By listing a few figures. D.By showing cause and effect. 3.What can we learn from Sarah Gaither’s words? A.Improving 5 kids flexible thinking ability is important teaching. B.Kids tend to behave selflessly after thinking about their roles. C.Kids’ creative thinking ability is easy to discover and develop. D.Teachers are supposed to make the most of the kids’ flexibility. 4.What is the best title for the text? A.Kids' Social Abilities Are Consistent with. Their Education B.Considering Their Various Roles Improves Kids’ Abilities C.Kids Have a Variety of Identities in Their Daily Life. D.Problem-solving Ability Is Necessary for Most Kids.

Gopnik, a psychology and philosophy professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said. " Many parents are carpenters, and 5.is really necessary for them to bring up their children.” She spent decades researching children's development and finally 6.(find) that parents often focused too much on what their children would be as adults.
