Thousands of years ago, in the south of ancient China, there lived Shen Nong, a man who had an ox (4) head and a human body. Seeing that local people were suffering from diseases, he built ladders and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants. To remember him, people named the place Shennongjia.
The legend(传说 )makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists. Traveling there is a unique experience, as you can see scenery of the four seasons from different altitudes.
" When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foot of a hill is autumn, the top is covered with ice, " local people speak of the special climate of Shennongjia.
Shennongjia is also home to thousands of species of animals and plants. Many endangered animals live there, such as the golden monkey, the clouded leopard and the Asian black bear.
One interesting and mysterious thing about Shennongjia is its legend of wild men. Some people once claimed that they saw big prints or big-foot creatures. Yet so far, scientists haven' proved that it is true and some say they are just bears.
The beautiful place has received a new title. On July 17,2016,$hennongjia Forestry District was added to the World Heritage List as a natural site. China now has 56 world heritage(进产) sites, second only to Italy in the world.
Did you know that cigarette butts(烟头) are the most common form of rubbish in our lives? People throw about 4.5 trillion(万亿) of them into the environment every year. Cigarette butts can kill fish, and they have been found in the stomachs of sea turtles, birds and other wildlife. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
Now, Dutch company TechTics plans to help solve the cigarette problem with its BeachBot (BB).{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Even part of the butt hidden in the sand can be found. At just 80 centimeters wide, BB has four wheels, two cameras and two arms to pick up cigarette butts. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Once it finds cigarette butts, BB just needs to place them into a bin(垃圾箱) that it carries. After it finishes cleaning, people deal with the waste properly.
However, BB still needs help to tell the difference between things like a cigarette butt and a small seashell(海贝壳).{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Using this app, anyone with a smartphone can send BB photos of cigarette butts to help the robot learn to know them. Besides that, TechTics works on a pair of smaller robots that can look for cigarette butts. They tell the larger robot where the butts are so it can pick them up.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}But while the robot works well without wasting time, TechTics wants to get people to litter less. If people stop throwing their cigarette butts onto the beach, robots like BB wouldn't be necessary.
A. The way this robot works is very simple. B. To do this, the company turns to Microsoft Trove. C. It is a beach-cleaning robot that uses AI to find cigarette butts. D. During its first demo, BB picked up 20cigarette butts in 30 minutes. E. Though they're everywhere, people don't notice them because they're so small. |
