A new app uses Artificial Intelligence （AI） to tell you what your pet is thinking. It's called Happy Pets and it analyses an animal's facial features, tells you what breed （血统）it is and indicates which of the five most common animal emotions—happy, angry, neutral, sad and scared. The Happy Pets app uses AI, or machine learning. It's a technology that's used for vision in robotics and self-driving cars and it works by taking in images and assigning importance to them. One common use for Al is in facial recognition technology. Many of us can unlock our mobile phones with an image of our face and it's an important part of security processes in, for instance, airports. But this is the first time this kind of technology has been used for animals. It then had to learn to recognise facial features. This is sophisticated because photos can be taken in so many different ways： from the side, above, below, in bright light. And different animals can have such different facial features. Think about how different the noses of a border collie （边境牧羊犬）and a bulldog are, for instance. Once the AI behind Happy Pets had learned all this, it then had to be able to detect emotions based on specific facial features that are associated with each emotion, which it has learnt from thousands of examples. For instance, if a dog tightens its eyes and mouth while changing the position of its ears in a particular way, it's a sign of being scared. In an online article for Melbourne University's Pursuit, the researchers write they're happy with how the app performs. The researchers would love feedback about how they could develop the app further. 【1】Which of the following may go beyond Happy Pets' function? A.Learning the kinds of pets. B.Showing pets' main feelings. C.Teaching pets' facial recognition. D.Analyzing the pets' facial features. 【2】What is the facial recognition technology commonly used as now? A.The robots' eyes. B.A security system. C.The vision of self driving. D.A machine learning system. 【3】What does the underlined word "sophisticated" in paragraph 3 mean? A.Typical. B.Complex. C.ScientifiC. D.Traditional. 【4】Why does Happy Pets have to learn to recognize faces? A.Because faces can show animals' feelings. B.Because it wants to have emotions of humans. C.Because it is learning to use facial expressions. D.Because the types of animals are based on the looks. |

The word "orange" describes both a color and a fruit. Which one came first might be surprising. "Orange" when used as the name of the fruit came before "orange" as a word to describe color. While the shade itself existed before the fruit, there was not a name in the English language for the color. Before the introduction of the fruit to English-speaking countries, the color was usually described as a shade of red or yellow. In the early 16th century, Portuguese traders brought oranges from India to Europe. The Europeans had not seen the bright colored fruit before and didn't have a name for it. The fruits were named "narancia" by Italians and "narange" by the French and were sometimes referred to as "golden apples" by English speakers. "Orange" was first used in a phrase to describe shades of colors, including in a third-century Greek text translated into English, in 1576. It describes Alexander the Great's servants as dressed in "orange colour velvet （天鹅绒）In 1578, a Latin-American dictionary defined "melites" as "a precious stone of orange color”. While orange represents the color of the objects, it needed the word "color" to follow it in order for the meaning to be clear. In the mid-1590s, Shakespeare described a beard as "orange tawny", one of the first instances of "orange" without the word "color" as part of the expression. Tawny is a brown color often used on its own. Orange was not yet a color, just a shade of brown. In 1616, in an account describing varieties of tulips （郁金香）that can be grown, orange was used as a stand-alone color. When Isaac Newton performed his experiments on the color spectrum （色谱），he listed it as one of the seven basic colors. After almost half a century, orange was recognized as a color on its own. 【1】Which is the right time order of the appearance of "orange"? A.As a fruit→as a color→the shade itself. B.The shade itself→as a color→as a fruit. C.The shade itself→as a fruit→as a color. D.As a color→the shade itself→as a fruit. 【2】What were oranges called by the British in the early 1500s? A.Melites. B.Narange. C.NaranciA. D.Golden apples. 【3】Which of the following would be the right usage of "orange" in the 16th century? A.My ball is a melite. B.The ball is orange colour. C.The orange ball is beautiful. D.I have an orange ball. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.How to plant oranges B.The spread of oranges C.Orange used as a color D.Shakespeare and oranges |

How to Stay Focused While Working from Home Right now, many people have been forced into the work-at-home life suddenly.【1】 However, you can learn to boom at home as productive as in a traditional office. Here are some tips for focusing while working from home. 【2】 When you work from home, chances are that you're going to have more control over your day than when you're office-based. So, get organized and structure your day accordingly. Know when you're at your peak, and actively schedule the tasks that require more creativity and brain input for that time. Take breaks. So many people seem to be copying their office life but at their kitchen table—tied to their laptop all day without having a rest. The good news is that most of us are much more productive at home. 【3】 It's not avoiding your responsibilities—it's really important, as research shows that if we don't rest for certain time, we become touchy and less productive. Don't get distracted. You've swapped the interruptions of coworkers for many other things： pets, the fridge, the laundry, movies. Set your work hours, and focus on the work that matters in that time. You can grab a snack, pet the dog or put the washing machine on when you take a break. 【4】 Stay focused. Move around your house or apartment. When I'm working with teams in workplaces, I always advocate walking around the office building or campus to stay energized, and not staying at a desk all day long. The same goes for working from home. 【5】 A.Think like a designer. B.Prepare for the unexpected. C.But you must pause from time to time. D.Their working circumstances are under less than ideal. E.Set rules about when you'll check social media, or use an app. F.Even walking a short distance inside your home can re-energize you. G.Also check in with others and ask how they are and how you can help. |
