26、 As missing children age, their appearances are quite different from their last known photographs, which makes finding them tough. Now AI could make it quicker to match any found children to those old photos.
Police can use software to age photos of people who have been missing for a while, but these tend to work best in adults, as age-related changes to adult faces are more predictable and so easier to simulate.
With children, these aged images don't tend to be like the older child, and matching photos of found children to old images in a database of missing children is difficult.
Now Debayan Deb, a professor at Michigan State University, and his colleagues have created an program to do this for them. They trained a face-recognition program on data sets including the Children Longitudinal Face data set, which contains images of nearly 1000 children aged between 2 and 18 years old. Each was photographed at least four times over a period of six years.
The AI learned to match recent photographs of children with images taken 2.5 years earlier 80 per cent of the time.
With one year between the two photographs, the method was 90 per cent accurate at identifying faces. This dropped to 73 per cent after three years. The approach beats comparing children with photos taken when they were aged 0 to 4 that have been aged by software, which hovers at 50 percent recognition after six months. The new AI might help to improve accuracy of this kind of software as well.
"This is a very good paper that could potentially be used to identify missing children," says Amarjot Singh at the University of Cambridge.
Deb's next goal is to extend the age gap. His team also hopes to develop an app that could be used to fight child trafficking.
【1】The software which police has used can_________.
A．match photos of found kids to former images
B．predict the changes of people over time
C．produce accurate images of children
D．age the photos of missing people
【2】Why it is difficult to match photos of found children to their old images?
A．Because the data set of child face images is quite large.
B．Because the software can’t age the photos of those kids.
C．Because aged images aren’t very alike to the older child.
D．Because it’s difficult to recognize the older kids with photos.
【3】It can be learned that Deb’s team________.
A．helps police identify missing children
B．intends to develop a new app
C．improved the software used by police
D．will give their app to police
【4】What do we know about the approach created by Deb and his colleague?
A．It is based on the Children Longitudinal Face data set.
B．It can recognize children’s images between 2 and 18.
C．It is more accurate than the software to match photos.
D．It has been used to identify missing children.
27、 That black woman was a cleaner in our school and her job was to wipe down the lockers, clean the floor, and check the drawings on the wall. She never seemed to smile and was always yelling at kids for throwing trash on the ground.
One afternoon, I saw that two boys kicked over garbage cans, spilling garbage.
“What are you doing? Get back and clean this mess up!” the woman shouted.
The boys ran away, making faces to her.
She sighed sadly and began collecting the trash A few tears fell from her eyes. I went up to help her pick up piece of crumpled (皱巴巴) paper and smiled at her. The woman looked at me with shock, and for a moment I thought she would smile back, but she simply went to gather the trash. The next time when I saw her, I called out, “Good morning!” She stopped and looked at me. Then, she smiled back. It was a really beautiful smile.
We continued this relationship. We both smiled and waved as we met but we didn’t know each other, until one day when she asked me a question, “You are not from around here, are you?”
“Well, I’ve lived here all my life, if that’s what you mean,” I told her.
She was surprised. “Oh, I just thought you talk differently and you’re so friendly. I didn’t get that a lot...” she said.
After that day, we have become real friends. What this experience has taught me is that little gestures of kindness are often the most appreciated. By offering a simple smile and pleasant helle, I helped give this woman a better day and gained a valuable friendship.

28、Tens of thousands of lives would be saved every year in the United States if common air pollution from burning fossil fuels (矿物燃料) is got rid of, according to a new study. The research stresses the huge health benefits of moving away from coal, oil and gasoline.
Using data from the Environmental Protection Agency, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison estimate (估计) that about 50,000 premature (过早的) deaths would be avoided every year if microscopic air pollutants called particulates were got rid of in the U.S..
Premature death and hospitalization are also extremely expensive for the U.S. economy. The study estimates that getting rid of such air pollution would save about $600 billion each year.
Burning fossil fuels are a main source of fine particulate pollution in the U.S.. The new study is the latest reminder that climate change and public health are closely related, and that cutting greenhouse gas emissions doesn’t just reduce long-term risk from global warming; it can save lives immediately by cutting pollution.
Fine particulates, also known as PM 2.5 by scientists and regulators, are pollutants generated by the burning of fossil fuels, wildfires, and some industrial processes. They are about 1/30th the width of human hair, which means they can go deep inside the lungs.
Worldwide, millions of people are estimated to die prematurely every year because of outdoor air pollution, the World Health Organization estimates. More than 1 million global deaths from fine particulate air pollution could be avoided in just one year if fossil fuel burning were got rid of, according to a separate study published last year.
Air quality in much of the U.S. is better than the global average. But the remaining pollution is still deadly, especially to those living in hotspots next to factories, power plants and highways.
“Even with the Clean Air Act in the United States, we still have more than 100,000 Americans who die prematurely from air pollution each year,” says Patz, who has studied the connections between climate change and human health for many years. “It’s a striking health threat.”
【1】What makes people die young according to the new study?
A．Growing economy.
B．Huge benefits.
C．Air pollution.
D．Climate change.
【2】How could people prevent themselves from premature deaths?
A．Stop burning fossil fuels.
B．Cut down the cost of economy.
C．Avoid living in the busy place.
D．Reduce risk from global warming.
【3】What does Patz want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A．People mainly die from air pollution.
B．Air pollution endangers people’s lives.
C．The Act works well in the United States.
D．People’s health relies on climate change.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Air Quality Depends on People’s Efforts
B．Burning Fossil Fuels Does Harm to People
C．Public Health Is Connected to Climate Change
D．Getting Rid of Air Pollution Would Save Lives
