Google’s new camera， called Clips， is a small， smart device. It comes with a
case that has a clip， but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most
interestingly， it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it
can capture moments on its own.
This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera， with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla
Glass for toughness， is intended for candid moments， like when a child does
something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.
Onboard the Clips device， it uses machine learning algorithms （计算程序） to
help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that
there’s a face you see frequently， it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces，” said
Justin Payne， the devices product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial
expressions. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when
a child’s hand is over the lens （镜头）.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone， as it
has no screen for viewing or editing.
Were people concerned it could seem strange？ Yes， Payne admitted. But they
said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front
signals that it is on. Besides， unlike a camera meant to monitor your home， it is not
connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced，”
Payne said. Going forward， were likely to get more assistance from the artificial
intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets （小装置）.

Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United
States， yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once
said of herself， “I would never sit back in a rocking chair， waiting for someone to
help me.” No one could have had a more productive old age.
She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State， one of five boys
and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic （家庭的） service until， at
27， she married Thomas Moses， the hired hand of one of her employers. They
farmed most of their lives， first in Virginia and then in New York State， at Eagle
Bridge. She had ten children 7， of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery （刺绣） pictures
as a hobby， but only changed to oils （油画） in old age because her hands had
become too stiff （硬的） to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her
pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by
a businessman who bought everything she painted.
Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art， and in 1940 she had
her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death she produced some
2，000 pictures： detailed and lively portrayals （描绘） of the country life she had
known for so long， with a wonderful sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I

Obviously， art always amuses children and they can easily engage in it. This only
proves that introducing art education at an early age is a great way to let children
express what they see in their environment. Art activities give your children pleasurable
experiences.
Art education helps children learn and improve communication skills. Apparently，
there are children who find difficulty in communicating in words. In this sense，
expressing their feelings through art is an excellent outlet. Art for kids offers a lot of
important skills in life that will lead them to the right path. Simply watching television can
teach them to read and count. Therefore， allowing your kids to paint can tell the
thought in their mind.
Every child should learn problem solving naturally and on his own. In fact， when
children are making something like drawing or painting， it is one way of problem
solving. It is because art gives more realistic models that are stable. Likewise， art
education can also help in developing critical-thinking skills， music， dance and
theater arts.
Moreover， creating arts in groups is an ideal way of mastering skills and in the
same way they also learn from their peers without pressure unlike the formal teaching
lessons. That is why adult supervising children engaging in art should know that art is
not all about expressing talent but it is a skill of creativity.
Also， engaging in art education can help building confidence. It is because even if
they do not make it the right way， yet they feel proud on their artistic creations. Since
art is a good start to collaborate （合作） with others， children can easily learn the
cultures from different parts of the world.

probably feel ___ .

Working with a group of baboons （狒狒） in the Namibian desert， Dry Alicia
Carter of the Department of Zoology， Cambridge University set baboons learning
tasks involving a novel （新奇的） food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some
baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to
solve the task， while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or
anxious the baboons were， Dr Carter presented them either with a novel food or a
threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.
She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The brave baboons
learnt， but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon
perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did.
The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious
individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，
even though they spent more time watching.
This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that
personality plays a key role in social learning in animals. The findings are significant
because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive （认知的） tasks
not because they aren’t clever enough to solve them， but because they are too shy or
nervous to use the social information.
The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies
through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others
because they don’t associate with the knowledgeable individuals， or they are too shy
to use the information once they have it， information may not travel between all group
members， preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about？
A. The design of Dry Carters research.
B. The results of Dry Carters research.
C. The purpose of Dry Carters research.
D. The importance of Dry Carters research.13. According to the research， baboons that are more likely to complete a new
learning task are those that___ .
A. has more experience B. can avoid possible risks
C. like to work independently D. feel anxious about learning
14. Dry Carters experiment shows some of the baboons ___ .
A. is intelligent but slow in learning
B. is shy but active in social activities
C. observes others but don’t follow them
D. performs new tasks but don’t concentrate
15. Dry Carters findings indicate our culture might be formed through ___ .
A. our storing information
B. our learning from each other
C. our understanding different people
D. our traveling between social groups

One possible version：
My Favorite Sport
My favorite sport is swimming. It was a very exciting experience to learn swimming with my
parents when I was five years old.
Swimming is a really good sport. It makes me feel relaxed. It can also make me stay healthy and
strong because I exercise almost every part of my body when I go swimming.
Before going to swim， we should pay attention to three points. The first is to make sure your
body is in a good state. The second is not to eat too much. The last is that youd better swim with some
friends， which can help you stay safe and enjoy yourself.
