A team f scientists is studying the sund f the frest in Ecuadr t learn hw artificial intelligence (AI) culd fllw animal life in recvering envirnments.
When scientists want t measure new frest grwth, they can study large areas f land with tls like satellites. But understanding hw fast and in what number wildlife is returning t an area is mre difficult. Smetimes it requires an expert t listen thrugh sund recrdings and pick ut animal calls.
Jrg Muller, an expert n birds, wndered if there was a different way. S, he turned t biacustics (生物声学) , which uses sund t learn mre abut animal life and their living envirnments. Muller and his team recrded wildlife sunds in Ecuadr. They first had experts listen t the recrdings and list the sunds f different animals. Then, they examined the sund quality t measure the envirnment. Finally, they ran tw weeks f recrdings thrugh an AI cmputer prgram trained t understand 75 different bird calls.
The prgram was able t pick ut the calls n which it was trained. Hwever, scientists wndered if the prgram culd crrectly identify the number f different kinds f plants and animals in each envirnment. T see if the prgram culd d that, the team used tw different cntrls. One was frm the experts wh listened t the recrdings, and the secnd was based n examples frm each envirnment, which can be used t understand bidiversity (生物多样性) .
Since the number f sunds that are fund t be used t train is limited, the AI prgram culd nly identify ne-furth f the bird calls experts culd. But it was still able t crrectly measure bidiversity levels in each envirnment, the study said. It als said the results shw the AI prgram is a pwerful tl t measure the recvery f animal scieties in sme frests. The study shwed that bidiversity fund frm recrdings can be measured in a cst-effective and cmplete way and measure envirnments.
There are still areas fr imprvement, including the lack f animal sunds n which t train AI mdels. And the methd can nly catch animals that use sund t cmmunicate.
8. What des the study fcus n?

C. Sund recrding by AI. D. Direct bservatin by experts.
10. What did the AI prgram prve t be useful fr?

C. Tracking weather change. D. Identifying all the bird calls.
11. What did the study suggest fr imprvements?

Music is a part f every culture arund the wrld. In fact, the ability t appreciate music is built int ur brains. Music makes us feel gd. Many music studies lk at the lng-term benefits f being a music listener r participating in a music prgram as a child. But can listening t music help us cnnect and empathize (产生共鸣) with smene right at the mment? A new study aims t find it ut.
In this study, 60 university students were asked t watch several 15-secnd vides in which a persn describes an autbigraphical (自传体的) experience. In sme cases, peple in the vide talk abut a relatively rdinary event, like mving int a new apartment, while ther stries cntain strng emtinal cntent, like recalling a terrible accident r a lved ne's death.
While students watched these vides, the researchers randmly played either “emtinally neutral (中立的)” music r very sad music in the backgrund. After watching each vide, the students expressed hw much sympathy they had fr the persn in the vide, and hw much they wanted t help that persn. They were als tested n their scial reasning skills-hw well they understd the persn's thinking methd in the vide. All f these culd be signs f empathic cnnectin (同感沟通) .
Results shwed that peple watching the sad vides felt mre sadness themselves and mre sympathy fr the ther persn than thse watching the neutral vides—nt a big surprise. But these empathic feelings were strengthened by listening t sad music. The music had n effect, hwever, n whether r nt the students culd reasn ut the ther persn's experience and understand what they might be thinking r feeling.
While music is nt the nly way—ther art frms, like fictin and dancing, have als been shwn t increase empathy, fr example—music culd be a pwerful tl. “It'd be very interesting t extend ur finding further, t see if listening t music in a scial cntext can imprve ur real-wrld ability t empathize with and feel sympathy fr thers in the lng term,” says the lead researcher Brennan McDnald.
12. What des the new study want t find ut?
A. Whether music can benefit us.
B. Whether music can aruse genuine emtins.
C. Whether music can imprve the scial effect.
D. Whether music prgrams can increase ur cnfidence.

A. T film a shrt autbigraphical vide.
B. T share ne f their miserable experiences.
C. T think up ways t help the persn in need.
D. T watch vides while listening t different backgrund music.
14. Which f the fllwing belngs t the pinin f the researchers?
A. We can increase ur sympathy by using sme music.
B. Music helps us understand thers' thinking prcesses.
C. Mst adults are much mre emtinal than children.
D. Music can influence us bth emtinally and intellectually.
15. What will the researcher Brennan prbably d next?
