The lovely town of Traverse City, Michigan is famous for cherries, and there’s no better

time to visit than during the National Cherry Festival. You have eight days to try pies,

pancakes, and many other foods made with the delicious fruit. You can also enjoy concerts, an

air show, and amusement rides. It takes place in July in Traverse City, Michigan.

Every summer, over 80,000 visitors eat more than 25,000 pounds of lobsters caught fresh

Maine.

Wellfleet OysterFest (牡蛎节)

some of the summer crowds back to Cape Cod by putting food, fun, and music on the half

Tracking wildlife is a tough job. Take the case of a one-eared leopard named Pavarotti.

Kasim Rafiq, a wildlife biologist at Liverpool John Moores University. “So I used to get

up at the crack of dawn, follow his tracks and try and find him. So one day, I went out, and I

was looking for him. And his tracks took me off road through this woodland area...and...”

Before he knew it, the wheel of his Land Rover was stuck in a deep hole. He wasted

several hours getting it out. And then, on the way back to camp, he came across some local

tour guides and their safari (观赏野兽的旅行) guests, who’d had way better luck spotting

Pavarotti. “Basically, they laughed and they talked to me that they’d seen him that morning.”

Rafiq then realized that tourist wildlife sightings might be an untapped source of

information about wild animals.

So he and his team worked with a safari lodge in Botswana to analyze 25,000 tourist

photographs of wildlife. They compared those data to the estimates they made with traditional

wildlife biology methods.

It turned out that the estimates from tourists’ photos were just as good as those gleaned

(四处搜集 ) from traditional methods. And the tourists were actually the only ones to see

elusive ( 难以捉摸的) leopards—the researchers would have missed the cats without the

citizen science data. The results are in the journal Current Biology.

The idea is not to put wildlife researchers out of a job. “The reality is there are so many

interesting things we still have to find out about these large carnivores ( 食肉动物 ) and so

many conservation (保护) projects that need to be carried out that we don’t have the time or

resources to do them all.” And tourist photos might help make sure that all the local carnivores

are spotted.

Thanks for listening for Scientific American—60-Second Science. I’m Christopher

Intagliata.

14. What happened to Rafiq when he tracked Pavarotti?

A. He was lost in the woods.

B. He was trapped in a deep hole.

C. He found Pavarotti with tourists’ help.

D. He met Pavarotti on the way back to camp.

15. Why can biologists track animals from tourists’ photographs?

A. The photos are sources of information about wildlife.

B. The photos are mirrors of the wildlife researchers’ life.

C. The photos taken by tourists are of high quality.

D. The photos taken by tourists are especially beautiful.

16. What can we infer from paragraph 6?

A. The researchers have missed the data of cats.

B. The information from tourists’ photos was equally good.

C. The value of tourist photos hasn’t been proven.

D. Only the traditional methods can track wildlife.

17. Where can we find the article?

A. On TV. B. In a magazine. C. On a radio. D. In a book.

The human face is a remarkable piece of work. The astonishing variety of facial features

helps people recognize each other and is important to the formation of complex societies. So

is the face’s ability to send emotional signals, whether through an unconscious reddening of

face or a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives, in the office and the courtroom

as well as the bar and the bedroom, reading faces, for signs of attraction, trust and cheat. They

also spend plenty of time trying to dissimulate.

Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. In America, facial

recognition is used by churches to track prayers’ attendance; in Britain, by shopkeepers to spot

past thieves. This year Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game. In

China, it verifies the identities of ride-hailing ( 网约车) drivers, permits tourists to enter

attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile. Apple’s new iPhone is expected to use

it to unlock the home screen.

Compared with human skills, such applications might expand steadily in scale. Some

breakthroughs, such as flight or the Internet, obviously transform human abilities; facial

recognition seems merely to encode them. Although faces are unique to individuals, they are

also public, so technology does not, at first sight, intrude (侵扰) on something that is private.

And yet the ability to record, store and analyze images of faces cheaply, quickly and on a vast

scale promises one day to bring about major changes to our understanding of privacy, fairness

and trust.

Start with privacy. One big difference between faces and other biometric (计量生物学的)

data, such as fingerprints, is that they work at a distance. Anyone with a phone can take a

picture for facial-recognition programs to use. FindFace, an app in Russia, compares snaps of

strangers with pictures on VKontakte, a social network, and can identify people with a 70%

accuracy (精确程度) rate. Even if private firms are unable to join the dots between images

and identity, the state often can. Photographs of half of America’s adult population are stored

in databases that can be used by the FBI. Law-enforcement agencies now have a powerful

weapon in their ability to track criminals, but at enormous potential cost to citizens’ privacy.

18. What does the underlined word “dissimulate” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Hide emotions from others. B. Make known to the public.

C. Act in disregard of laws. D. Become friends with others.

19. What kind of changes might be discussed in the following paragraphs?

A. Safety and first aid. B. Social services.

C. Finance and trade. D. Fairness and trust.

20. What’s the best title for the passage?
