Likely to suffer from loss of memory from time to time? Smart cameras can now remind you.

Khai Truong at the University of Toronto in Canada and his colleagues have created a smartphone

app that records interactions with household objects. The system involves a barcode-like markers

that the user sticks to objects whose use they would like to track.

With the smartphone worn around your neck, the app automatically records a short video clip

when a marked object comes into view. “The user is able to look through the application and see

the last time they interacted with it. " says Truong. The app can help people track the state of

objects — such as whether they locked a door or switched a light off—as well as routine actions.

At present it successfully records about 75% of interactions, but only works for fixed objects.

A similar but separate system can solve the problem. E. Akin Sisbot and Jonathan Connell at

IBM Research in New York have invented a ceiling-mounted( 安装在天花板上的)camera that

monitors objects and people. It continuously watches an area such as a tabletop in your home,

tracking the placement of objects in relation to one another. It also remembers who first brought

an object into the field of view as well as anyone moved it for afterwards. When asked, “Where is

my wallet?” the system might respond, “It is next to the vase, under the magazines. ”

The camera could also be used in factories or operating theatres to track a vital tools, says

Sisbot. For now, the camera uses a deep sensor to spot things. It is limited to detecting objects

thicker than 3 centimeters, meaning that it has trouble with thin objects such as a closed laptop

placed flat on a table.

The accuracy of such smart camera systems may need to improve before they are widely

adopted, “You’ve got to trust the technology for it to be of any comfort or reassurance.” says

Geoffrey Ward at the University of Essex in UK.

4. How does the smartphone app mentioned in Paragraph 2 work?

A. By switching of electricity automatically.

B. By scanning barcodes of household objects.

C. By recording the movement of marked objects.

D. By informing owners of potential dangers.

5. What is the limitation of the ceiling-mounted camera?

A. It is unlikely to make a sound.

B. It is unable to recognize movable objects.

C. It fails to find objects thinner than 3 centimeters.

D. It hardly senses objects without barcode-like markers.

6. What is Geoffrey Ward’s attitude towards smart camera systems?

A. Neutral B. Supportive C. Skeptical D.

Opposed

Soot (煤) pollution is speeding up climate-driven melting in Antarctica, a new study suggests,

raising questions about how to protect the delicate continent from the increasing number of

humans who want to visit.

“It really makes us question, is our presence really needed?” says Alia Khan, one of the

authors of the new study. “We have quite a large black carbon footprint in Antarctica, which is

enhancing snow and ice melt.”

Black carbon is the leftover thing from burning plants or fossil fuels. Soot in Antarctica

comes primarily from waste gases of cruise ships ( 游轮), vehicles and airplanes, although some

pollution travels on the wind from other parts of the globe. The dark particles ( 微粒) coat white

snow and absorb heat from the sun the way a black T-shirt does on a warm day. The blanket of

dark bits speeds up melting that was already happening more quickly because of global warming.

When snow and ice are uncovered, they reflect an enormous amount of sunlight before it can

turn into heat. “These are the mirrors on our planet,” says Sonia Nagorski, a scientist at the

University of Alaska Southeast. “When those mirrors are covered in a film of dark bits, they don’t

send back that much light and heat. That means more heat is trapped on Earth, speeding up

melting and contributing to global warming.”

As a scientist who personally visits Antarctica every year, Khan says she is troubled by her

own research results. On the one hand, she goes to Antarctica to collect crucial data about how

quickly the snow and ice there are disappearing. “But then when we come to conclusions like this

it really does make us think twice about how frequently we need to visit the continent,” she says,

“and what kind of regulations should be placed on tourism as well.” That could mean requiring

that cruise ships and vehicles be electric, for example, or limiting the number of visitors each year.

7. What is Khan’s attitude towards human actions in Antarctica according to paragraph 2?

A. Angry and abusive. B. Cold and uninterested.

C. Doubtful and anxious. D. Admiring and delighted.

8. What is the main cause of soot pollution in Antarctica?

A. The quick melting of ice and snow. B. The emission from virous transport.

C. The remaining parts of burning plants. D. The floating gases from other

continents.

9. What do we know from Nagorski?

A. The covered ice is less reflective.

B. The melting speed of ice is slower than before.

C. The dark blanket serves as a big mirror.
