Now theyre finding some theories may apply to one group of monkeys.Researchers recently taught six monkeys how to use money. They gave the monkeys small metal disks(圆片) that co
12、uld be used like cash and showed them some yummy apple pieces. The monkeys soon figured out that if they gave one of the disks to a scientist, they d receive a piece of apple in return.If you think that is all the monkeys can figure out, you are wrong. Two researchers, Jake and Allison, acted as app
13、le sellers in the experiments. The monkeys were tested one at a time and had 12 disks to spend in each experiment. Jake always showed the monkeys one apple piece, while Allison always showed two pieces. But thats not necessarily what they gave the monkeys. The number of apple pieces given for a disk
14、 was determined at random.Experiment One: Allison showed two pieces of apples but gave both pieces only half the time. The other half, she took one piece away and gave the monkey just the remaining piece. Jake, on the other hand, always gave exactly what he showed: one piece for each disk. The monke
15、ys chose to trade more with Allison.Experiment Two: Allison continued to sometimes gave two pieces and sometimes one piece. But now, half the time, Jake gave the one apple piece he was showing, and half the time he added a bonus. Guess what? The monkeys chose to trade more with Jake.In the first exp
16、eriment, the monkeys correctly figured out that if they traded with Allison, theyd end up with more treats. In the second one, when a monkey received two pieces from Jake, it seemed like again. When Allison gave the monkey only one piece instead of the two she showed, it seemed like a loss. The monk
17、eys preferred trading with Jake because theyd rather take a chance of seeming to win than seeming to lose.We also sometimes make silly business decisions just to avoid the feeling that were getting less, even when were not. Would you have made the same choices?1、What conclusion might experts draw fr

We laugh, we cry, we turn red with feeling. Now, scientists report that blue-and-yellow macaws(金刚鹦鹉) may
21、 join us in this club of emotions at least,when it comes to blushing.Parrots are known for being clever and chatty. They re even skilled enough to make their own tools and occasionally nose their way into human machines like cars. Their curiosity and courage are what make them excellent pets. So it
22、s no surprise that they have their own range of communication tools. On the whole, birds are no strangers to blushing. Many different kinds of birds have been known to exhibit this hehavior. Parrot owners often notice it in their pets. The motivations behind it are still a mystery to scientists , th
23、ough.To zero in on why macaw faces blush,some scientists led by Aline Bertin of the University of Tours studied five captive blue-and-yellow macaws as they interacted with each other and their human caretakers. They were amazed to see that human attention seemed to make the macaws blush. The blushin
24、g died down when the caretakers ignored the parrots.Facial expressions can be signs of a human s emotional state. Likewise, bird blushing could convey well-being. It s not quite as obvious as smiling. Still, it s fairly impressive. After all, these macaws don t have the same facial muscles that we d
25、o. The birds are much smarter and kinder than they look. They are believed to be as intelligent as monkeys.Bertin and the other scientists believe their work opens the door to further research. One limitation of the study is that no macaws in natural environment have been observed. That makes it har
26、d to draw conclusions about the birds as a species. They are also not quite sure what the blushing means. There is still more to learn about these possible expressions of emotion.1、Which of the following best explains captive in paragraph 3 ?AUnique. BTalkative.CCurious. DCaged.2、Birds might blush_.
27、Awhen people ignore them . Bto show they are happy.Cto show they are hungry . Dwhen something upsets them.3、What is TRUE about scientists reaction to macaws blushing?AThey are puzzled by how birds can communicate with one another.BThey are motivated to continue studying how macaws express emotion.CT
28、hey are curious about why other birds are unable to convey emotion.DThey are interested to study monkeys to see if they blush as strongly.4、What is the main idea of the text?AParrots make excellent pets.BParrots are skilled to make tools.CThe macaws can communicate with each other.DThe macaws can go

39、eak app combines a smartphones camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and transform them into letters, words and sentences.For people suffering from ALS, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.“Current eye-tracking input systems for people
40、with ALS are expensive, not effective under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration(再校正) and abundant, relatively stable setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.“To mitigate the drawbackswe created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that r
41、uns on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, effective, and easy to carry and learn.”The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in or
42、der to communicate.The chart shows four grids of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying t
