A scientist goes to a forest to study monkeys. He or she wants to study their
habits and behavior. But the problem is: how to know who's who?
In the past, scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to distinguish
(分 辨) them. But in the future, they may have a much easier way to tell them
apart thanks to facial recognition technology.
A research team from Chinas Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to
identify(识别) thousands of monkeys that live on Qingling Mountain in Shanxi province. Similar to human facial recognition, the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database(数据库) that includes every monkey, Xinhua reported.
"When the system is fully developed, we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains. The system will recognize the monkeys without the researchers’ help, name them and analyze(分析) their behavior. "said Zhang He, a member of the research team.
"For each monkey, we have 700 to 800 image examples, and the recognition success rate is 94
percent. " Zhang added.
Compared with facial recognition technology for humans facial recognition technology for
monkeys is more complicated because monkeys have hairier faces. The color of their hair hates hem into their environment. These factors make it harder for computers to do the job.
"Monkeys do not follow. researchers in the same way as humans do. It is difficult to take high-
quality. pictures und videos of them, which are needed to improve the system, "said Li Baoguo, leader of the research team.
At present, there are about 4,000 monkeys living on Qinling Mountain. The teams goal is to
successfully identity every monkey that lives there.
45. What problem do scientists face while studying monkeys now?
A. How to mark them. B. How to tell them apart.
C. How to understand their behavior. D. How to use facial recognition technology.
46. The facial recognition technology for monkeys _________ .
A. works better than human facial recognition B. was developed by a research team in Shanxi province
C. needs to be connected to cameras in the mountain to work
D. requires a database of about 700 to 800 pictures of monkeys
47. From the article. we can infer (推断) that _________ .
A. the facial recognition technology is now widely used in China
B. scientists didn’t make marks on the animals to distinguish them in the past
C. monkeys will follow researchers after improving the system in the near future
D. scientists won’t disturb(打扰) monkeys while studying with the facial recognition technology

these books in the UK rose 20 per cent. reaching three million. The Guardian reported.
Many of the self-help books are written by famous people or psychologists(心理学家) They teach you how to face problems in your life. But can self-help books really help people with their daily lives? People have different opinions about this. Julie Hall from London is a big fan of self-help books. After reading more than 300 of them, she sets up her own self-help website. Her site helps women achieve their goals in the business world. ''They (self-help books) can give you confidence and motivation(积极性) to do what you want to do, ''she said. However a recent study in Canada might not have the same opinion. Scientists surveyed two groups of people---one of the groups had rad many self-help books, while the other hadn’t. They found that people in the first group were more depressed(沮丧的).
There is no "quick fix " that can improve people’s daily lives. However, it’s always good to know
that kind of help is ready for people when they need it.
