27、Facial recognition (脸部识别) is a difficult task which requires as many as 200 neurons (神经元) to work together within milliseconds. So the skill has always been believed to be the area of “intelligent” animals such as humans, monkeys, dogs, and horses. Now, British scientists have found that the sheep also have this skill.

Jennifer Morton, a scientist at the University of Cambridge who led the study, says the team picked sheep because the social animals communicate with each other in a number of ways, one of which they thought was by facial recognition. The four celebrities (名人) to test the farm animal’s facial recognition skill were—“Harry Potter” actress Emma Watson, American actor Jake Gyllenhaal, British television journalist Fiona Bruce, and former US President Barack Obama. The researchers picked famous people for their experiment because it was easy to find photos taken at different angles (角度).

The eight sheep were trained for the task with the help of two computer screens. One showed a celebrity photo, while the other showed a black screen or a different object. Each time the sheep chose the correct photo, it received food as a prize. Wrong recognition resulted in no treat.

Once the animals were familiar with the four celebrities, they were put to the test. This time, both screens showed photos, one of the stars and the other of a different person. The researchers found that the sheep were right 75 percent. But it wasn’t enough to tell if the animals actually recognized the faces or just had good memories. So the sheep were shown to the four celebrities again. This time, the chosen photos were taken from a different angle. Though the success rate was 66 percent, it was enough to prove (证明) the sheep’s facial recognition skill.

For the final test, the researchers showed a photo of the animals’ owner, who they see for at least two hours a day, alongside one of a different person. Sure enough, most of the sheep picked the owner. Their ability to recognize a photo of a human with no training finally proved that sheep have facial recognition skill.

【1】Why did the four celebrities are chosen for the experiment?

A．It was easy for sheep to recognize them.

B．They often talked with each other in many ways.

C．They were famous and people knew them well.

D．Researchers could find their different photos easily.

【2】How did the researchers train sheep in order to make them familiar with the four celebrities?

A．By making them stay with the four celebrities.

B．By watching the four celebrities’ videos every day.

C．By giving them food if they chose the photos rightly.

D．By showing photos of the celebrities when feeding them.

【3】How many tests did the researchers do to prove the result of their experiment?

A．two

B．three

C．four

D．five

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Sheep Can Recognize Human Faces

B．Sheep Have Better Memory Than Humans

C．Facial Recognition Skill Is Difficult

D．Animals Communicate by Facial Recognition
