It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in unse. Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: "I used to keep hen when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each moming before I went to school. “I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they' ve gone to bed." "It' s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I'm enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful." There are now 70o elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide. Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project said: "Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions.

This might sound like science fiction, but rescarchers are bringing this vision closer to reality by developing advanced computational models that can predict human emotions during computer interactions. At the forefront of this effort is a team of Finnish scientists who have created a model. The mode essentially puts itself in the user' s shoes, simulating(模拟) the series of actions, outcomes, and cognitive appraisals (认知评估) that ultimately give rise to emotions like happiness, boredom, or frustration. To test their model, the researchers designed a series of interactive computer tasks meant to cause specific emotions. In the "happiness" task, users answered a series of questions and received positive feedback for correct responses. The "boredom" task involved a series of repetitivc questions. In the "frustration" task, the system was intentionally programmed to display error messages and ultimately fail, regardless of the user' s answers. As study participants worked through these tasks, the emotional reactions predicted by the mode closely matched the emotions reported by the users themselves. The model was even able to discover small changes, such as a steady increase in frustration over the course of the error-ridden task. The researchers believe their emotion-predicting model could pave the way for a new generation of emotionally intelligent computers that can tailor their behavior to the user' s psychological state An effective system might offer a stressed user comforting words of encouragement, liven up a boring task with humor, or provide emotional assistance when frustration mounts. “By creating interactions that are more emotionally attuned, designers could boost user engagement, productivity and overall well-being," they add. However, the model is still in progress and needs to be extended to recognize a wider range of emotions across more complex, real-world computer interactions. The researchers also emphasize the importance of gathering more diverse training data to ensure the model can accurately predict emotions for users of all backgrounds. 32. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By making a comparison. B. By creating an imaginary scene. C By telling a real life story. D. By sharing a popular book. 33. What were computer users asked to do in the study? A. Comfort each other. B. Report their feelings. C. Get rid ofboredom. D. Stay disconnected online. 34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Great improvemcnts on the model.B. Characteristics of future computer users. C. Researchers' expectation of their model. D. Computer users' responses to the model 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Smart Computers May Replace Humans B. Interactions with Computers Are Enjoyable C. Computers Might Understand Our Emotions D. An Emotion-predicting Model Meets Challenges 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 高二英语 第3项 If you need to prove who you are in China, you will usually need to use an ID card.
