As a result, Sheng decided to use his skills to help missing children. And to his surprise, many of his schoolmates volunteered to join him. Over the past few years, the team tried to develop an AI system for restoring photos. The team has restored more than 1,000 photos. With the help of the AIsystem,11 missing children were successfully found. For example, in December2021, Sun Haiyang found his son after 14 years of searching thanks to the AIsystem. In the future, Sheng plans to build a more excellent team to run the project.The goal is not just to further improve the technology. More importantly, he hopes to see more young people work for good causes. 31.( ) According to the passage, what did Sheng Jianzhong and his schoolmates do? A.

There were not only dogs at the shelter. I saw many other kinds of animals as well, such as foxes and chickens. Still, our main goal was to help the dogs by giving them walks. Many of the dogs were kept in big cages along with other dogs and they ate from a big bowl together. Many of the dogs looked old and needed a bath.38. However, I made sure to give one of the dogs a good walk.39. The dog was very gentle, but it did not want to walk very far. It was also a bit shy and just wanted to look at the other dogs.
