At 6 a. m. in an English village, hundreds f pinkish white sws are waking up fr breakfast. But first, they have t get their pictures taken. As each pig squeezes int her feeding area, a tiny camera snaps a pht f her face. And in less than 1 secnd, an artificial intelligence system identifies her based n facial features. Armed with that infrmatin, the system rders a custmized meal t sht int the trugh (食槽).
Meanwhile, the system cntinues t analyze her pht, lking fr negative signs in her facial expressin that she might be in pain, sick, r in emtinal distress. If it finds any, it sends an immediate alert t the farmer — the guy enjying a mrning cffee ver in the next rm.
These hungry piggies are the testers f Intellipig, a system being develped by scientists t deal with a fundamental prblem in animal welfare: we human beings are just nt the best at understanding hw animals are feeling.
Tls like Intellipig culd usher in (开启) a new era f caring fr animals that gives higher pririty t their health, welfare, and prtectin, says Melvyn Smith, an engineer leading the design f the Intellipig system. There are indicatins that they culd g even further. Eventually, AI might even utshine humans in interpreting a range f mre cmplex emtins like happiness, frustratin, r fear, he says — feelings that are equally imprtant t understand if we are t give animals the best pssible lives.
But like mst scientists cnsidering the pwers f AI, animal behavir researchers wrry abut putting t much stck in machines, especially when animal welfare is at risk. “Maybe a machine will end up being better than us; I dn’t knw,” says Emma Baxter, an animal behavir scientist. “I hpe there’s rm fr experts, t make sure that the AI is actually ding what it says it is.”
8. What can the Intellipig system d autmatically?
A. Mnitr pigs’ well-being.B. Clean pigs’ living spaces.
C. Deliver medical services t pigs.D. Prvide standardized diets fr pigs.
9. What is Melvyn Smith’s attitude twards AI’s rle in animal care?
A. Objective.B. Skeptical.C. Cautius.D. Psitive.
10. What apprach des Emma Baxter supprt when it cmes t AI and animal care?
A. Banning the use f ALB. Restricting AI t basic tasks.
C. Keeping prfessinals invlved.D. Minimizing human interventin.
11 What is the best title fr the text?
A. Intellipig: AI Prvides 24/7 Animal Care
B. Intellipig: AI Can Understand Animal Speech
C. Intellipig: AI Replaces Farmers in Animal Care
D. Intellipig: AI Assists in Detecting Animal Emtins

Recently, the grwing eyebrw blindness has caused many TikTk users t cmplain n the platfrm: Are makeup enthusiasts able t tell if they’re blindly chasing makeup trends r actually wearing what really lks gd n their faces.

As children begin t mve twards adult independence, they seek ways t express their individuality. This can smetimes lead t desperate effrts t prve their affiliatin (从属关系) with scially credible grups and can fuel desire t stand ut by riding the wave f trends.
S, next time yu d makeup, get dressed, rder fd in public, r buy a car, bear in mind that yur decisin might nt be as persnalized as yu think. “It’s essentially an inbrn respnse, which can be explained by ur need t fit in with r stand ut frm the crwd,” says Pamela.
12. Why is “eyebrw blindness” mentined?
