21、On the first day of school I brought my camera to school. I gave the students a piece of 8 ×11 cardboard(纸板), and asked them to write their names on both sides. As they finished, I asked them to get into groups of three to four students and took photographs of them holding their name cards.
After school, I developed the film and printed two sets of photos. That evening, I started to match the names with the faces. I kept one set of pictures at home for about a week so that I could review their names each night. On the second day of school, I put up the other set of photos as a bulletin board, with a title such as "Presenting Room 108, ..."
The kids loved it! After I had learned all of their names I brought the second set back to school and stuck them onto an 8 ×11 sheet of paper. I placed it in the classroom for other teachers.
The cardboard name cards that were made on the first day were collected and put on a shelf. From time to time, they were given back to the students and placed on their desks so that guests or supply teachers could identify all of the students.
I’ve been doing this with my grade 7 students for the last nine years and they liked it. It’s fun to bring the photos out again at the end of the school year to see how much they have all changed in ten months.
【1】The cardboards were used to ________.

22、 A facial recognition app, recently developed by scientists, will make it easier to identify pandas.
Wan Yongqing, a Beijing photographer, visits Sichuan Province to take photos of pandas every other year. He has watched them for more than a decade. “My friends say I’m a big panda fan. It is a shame that I find all pandas look the same, with black eyes and white fur. It does not matter as all the pandas are cute to me,” he said.
Yet, identifying one panda from another does matter to researchers, according to Zhang Zhihe, chief of the Chengdu panda research base.
“Identifying individual pandas is important for conservation management and research. For captive pandas, it is important for their daily feeding schedules, family background and data management. For wild pandas, it helps researchers study their population structure and provides scientific support for their protection and management,” he said.
China has carried out four scientific surveys on wild pandas, and now has a big databank about them. The number of wild pandas in China is mostly known. However, it is still difficult to determine the age, sex, health and other specific information about the population.
“It’s difficult to track and watch the structure because wild pandas tend to live alone, deep in the mountains, and their living environment is vast,” Zhang added.
In 2017, the Chengdu base began researching individual panda identification technology by analyzing images. Over the past two years, they have built a databank of more than 120,000 images, over 1,000 video clips, and completed organizing nearly 10,000 images.
Using the databank, researchers have started a facial recognition app that can accurately recognize captive pandas by analyzing ana comparing the unique features of panda faces.
Panda researchers hope the data and AI technology will help them analyze data for both captive and wild pandas.
【1】Why is it important to identify individual captive pandas?
A.It is useful for studying their population structure.
B.It helps researchers build up their living environment.
C.It provides proof that they need protection in the wild.
D.It is helpful for further research and data management.
【2】Which of the following is not a reason why it’s difficult to track and watch wild pandas?
A.They live alone.
B.They don’t leave enough tracks.
C.They live in deep mountains.
D.Their living environment is vast.
【3】What is still hard to find out for wild pandas?
A.Their living environment.
B.Their age, sex, health and population information.
C.Their feeding schedules, family background and management.
D.The reason and research upon their black eyes and white fur.
【4】What is necessary for the facial recognition app to work well?
A.The databank of pandas.
B.The structure of pandas.
C.The invention of Al technology.
D.The unique features of panda faces.
23、Gadgets that make study fun
Now in a world piled high with smart phones, tablets and e-readers, technology has entered the classroom in ways unimaginable. Taking classes can be fun too. All you have to do is swipe your fingers on your phone screen and download some apps, which can make your study more fun and efficient. Balancing study and play in a college setting has never been easy-and with the following few apps, it’ll be tough to tell the two apart.
Evernote
Use: note-taking
Can be used on: Phone/iPad/iPod touch, Android, BlackBerry, Palm OS and Windows, Phone 7
Price: free
It’s hard to imagine that with all the magical gadgets, the eager, studious types would still take out a notepad, a pencil, and a highlighter—and take notes in class. While it’s not an actual planner or a calendar App, if you take notes to stay organized, then Evernote is for you.The main thing about Evernote is that all of your notes are automatically sent into the cloud---and then you can access them from any web-connected computer via the Evernote app or a web browser. Evernote also supports audio and photo notes-rather handy if you want to record your lecture or take photos of any projected notes. But, of course, ask for permission first.
Wikipanion
Use: research database
Can be used on: iPhone/iPad/iPod touch
Price :free ( Wikipanion Plus for $4.99,or 31.87 yuan )
Now, you don’t necessarily have to go to a library or anywhere with computer services to do research work for your paper anymore. You can get access to the research databases just on your smart phone or tablet. Wikipanion gives you a simplified version of Wikipedia without leaving out any of the site’s extra features. The normal links that you’d see to each section of an article are no longer on the main screen. Instead, there’s small icon located at the bottom of the App, which can be used to access all the sections of an article. You can also open the links in Safari(苹果浏览器). According to the developers’ site, loading Wikipedia pages with Wikipanion is a lot faster than accessing the Wikipedia site from the iPhone’s browsers. To be honest, we agree.
