I believed she had been abused (虐待虐待) because she was afraid of anything my husband, Bill, or I held in our hands. With a lot of care and attention, she became a great dog that surprised us every day. About three years ago, Amy and I joined a volunteer project called Canines with Class. At our first school visit, Officer Lisa called Amy and asked her to show how to shake hands and give a high five. The students clapped (拍手拍手) in joy and Amy received a reward. Then the students got to touch the dog. One by one they came up to meet Amy. Some of them started talking to me about their own pets. I didnt feel worried any more. I thought the children liked staying with us. On our next school visit, I put a big chain (链条链条) on Amys neck and walked away from her. You could see that Amy was not happy. When I took the chain off her neck, Amy shook her tail happily and wouldnt stop licking (舔舔) my face. That was when we talked about “breaking the chain” On our third school trip, Amy started acting poorly when it was time to show off a few tricks. The students watched to see how I would correct her mistakes. It was a good chance to explain that if your dog doesnt do exactly what you ask, you dont have to shout at her or hit her to make it right. I think the children have learned a lot about respect and patience. Amy loves the program and has come so far since I found her a few years ago. Amy has broken the chain, and the love she gives to those children will help them become good pet owners. 语篇解读:语篇解读:本文是一篇本文是一篇记记叙文。作者与自己叙文。作者与自己领领养的狗参加了一个志愿者养的狗参加了一个志愿者项项目,旨在告目,旨在告诉诉人人们们 要善待要善待动动物。物。 21During the first school visit, the author was most probably _.

In addition to species identification, the software can also provide an overview of health.Burke said that diseased or injured animals give off a different thermal imagery than the healthy ones.“The real advantage this gives you is that if you know how many animals you have and where they are and what kind of health they are in, then you can work out a good conservation strategy for looking after them, ” she said.

I believed she had been abused (虐待虐待) because she was afraid of anything my husband, Bill, or I held in our hands. With a lot of care and attention, she became a great dog that surprised us every day. About three years ago, Amy and I joined a volunteer project called Canines with Class. At our first school visit, Officer Lisa called Amy and asked her to show how to shake hands and give a high five. The students clapped (拍手拍手) in joy and Amy received a reward. Then the students got to touch the dog. One by one they came up to meet Amy. Some of them started talking to me about their own pets. I didnt feel worried any more. I thought the children liked staying with us. On our next school visit, I put a big chain (链条链条) on Amys neck and walked away from her. You could see that Amy was not happy. When I took the chain off her neck, Amy shook her tail happily and wouldnt stop licking (舔舔) my face. That was when we talked about “breaking the chain” On our third school trip, Amy started acting poorly when it was time to show off a few tricks. The students watched to see how I would correct her mistakes. It was a good chance to explain that if your dog doesnt do exactly what you ask, you dont have to shout at her or hit her to make it right. I think the children have learned a lot about respect and patience. Amy loves the program and has come so far since I found her a few years ago. Amy has broken the chain, and the love she gives to those children will help them become good pet owners. 语篇解读:语篇解读:本文是一篇本文是一篇记记叙文。作者与自己叙文。作者与自己领领养的狗参加了一个志愿者养的狗参加了一个志愿者项项目,旨在告目,旨在告诉诉人人们们 要善待要善待动动物。物。 21During the first school visit, the author was most probably _.

In addition to species identification, the software can also provide an overview of health.Burke said that diseased or injured animals give off a different thermal imagery than the healthy ones.“The real advantage this gives you is that if you know how many animals you have and where they are and what kind of health they are in, then you can work out a good conservation strategy for looking after them, ” she said. The following is a post written by Burke on Twitter: More animals for the thermal imagery library.Thanks to Chester Zoo Science ScienceatCZ for letting us observe their fantastic creatures.Images are giraffes, Indian elephants, and fruit bats. Claire Burke 第 8 页 共 18 页 (CBurkeSci) October 27. To train the software on a wide variety of heat signatures from different species, the team of researchers spent time collecting thermal imagery of animals.Their first field trial to detect Riverine rabbits, one of the most endangered mammals in the world (with only 500 living adults left in the wild), was a complete success.“The rabbits are very small, so we flew the drone (无人机无人机) quite low to the ground at a height of 20 meters (65 feet)Although this limited the area we could cover with the drone, we managed to see the rabbit five times, ” said Burke.“Given that there have only been about 1,000 times people have seen Riverine rabbits, it was a real success.” 语篇解读:语篇解读:本文是一篇本文是一篇说说明文。明文。为为保保护濒护濒危危动动物、防止物、防止偷猎偷猎,研究人,研究人员员利用天文学中用来利用天文学中用来寻寻 星的技星的技术术来定位来定位动动物和物和偷猎偷猎者。者。 24What can people decide by observing the thermal imagery of the animals?
