An Australian prfessr is develping a rbt t mnitr the health f grazing cattle(牛), a develpment that culd bring big changes t a prfessin that's relied largely n a lw-tech apprach fr decades but is facing a labr shrtage.
Salah Sukka, a prfessr at the University f Sydney, sees rbts as necessary given hw cattlemen are aging. He is building a fur-wheeled rbt that will run n slar and electric pwer. It will use cameras and sensrs t mnitr the animals. A cmputer system will analyze the vide t determine if a cw is sick. Radi tags (标签) n the animals will measure temperature changes. The quality f grassland will be tracked by mnitring the shape, clr and texture (质地) f grass. That way, cattlemen will knw whether they need t mve their cattle t anther field .
Machines have largely taken ver planting, watering and harvesting crps such as crn and wheat, but the mnitring f cattle has gne thrugh fewer changes.
Fr Texas cattleman Pete Bnds, it's increasingly difficult t find wrkers interested in watching cattle. But Bnds desn't believe a rbt is right fr the jb. Years f experience in the industry — and failed attempts t use technlgy — have cnvinced him that the best way t check cattle is with a man n a hrse. Bnds, wh bught his first cattle almst 50 years ag, still has each f his cwbys inspect 300 r 400 cattle daily and lk fr signs that an animal is getting sick.
Other cattlemen see mre prmise in rbts. Michael Kelsey Paris, president f the Oklahma Cattlemen's Assciatin, said a rbt culd be extremely useful given rising cncerns abut cattle theft. Cattle tend t be kept in remte places and their value has risen, making them appealing targets.
37．What is a prblem with the cattle-raising industry?
A．Sil pllutin.B．Lack f wrkers.
C．Aging machines.D．Lw prfitability.
38．What will Sukka's rbt be able t d?
A．Mnitr the quality f grass.B．Cure the diseased cattle.
C．Mve cattle t anther field.D．Predict weather changes.
39．Why des Pete Bnds still hire cwbys t watch cattle?
A．He wants t help them earn a living.
B．He thinks men can d the jb better.
C．He is inexperienced in using rbts.
D．He enjys the traditinal way f life.
40．Hw may rbts help with cattle watching accrding t Michael Kelsey?
A．Increase the value f cattle.B．Bring dwn the cst f labr.
C．Make the jb mre appealing.D．Keep cattle frm being stlen.
