16、ngton, he was with his father at an Arizona tennis tournament when he saw wildfires raging across his home state on TV. The hills that were burning looked just like the hills behind my house, Ryan recalls. I called my mom and asked if she was okay. Once he knew that she was, he asked his dad why wil
17、dfires got out of control so often. Were planning to send people to Mars but we cant detect wildfires, Ryan says. Thats when Ryan decided to create a way to detect wildfires early. He linked together a series of Raspberry Pi computers. Some of these tiny units were fitted to detect smoke, fire and h
18、umidity（湿度）. Their sensors sent data wirelessly to another Raspberry Pi. This slightly bigger computer served as a mini meteorological station（气象站）. Ryan brought his entire system to a park and tested it by holding the fire from a lighter in front of each sensor. When these sensed a fire, they infor
19、med the mini station. It then alerted an app that Ryan built for his phone. While creating that app, Ryan talked with Mohammed Kachuee, who is a graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles. Kachuee helped Ryan use machine learning to train his app with data from the large 2018 Camp
20、 Fire. The app took lessons from how this fire had traveled over time. Using those data, the app learned to predict how fire at future events might spread. Someday, Ryan hopes his sensors might be deployed throughout his state. Five of the worst fires in California just happened in the last three mo

It refers to a language-processing problem in which the brain tends to confuse the order of numbers, letters a
24、nd other images. Past research showed that crowded text was especially difficult for, people with dyslexia to read. So researchers at Anglia Ruskin. University wanted to see how much help an increase in the spacing between letters would provide. Steven Stagg and his team found 59 students between 1l
25、 and:15 years old. The kids came from schools in three cities in England. 32 had dyslexia;, 27 did not. While the researchers recorded them, each student read two passages out loud. One passage was printed in its original format. In the other, the spacing between the letters was increased by 2. 5 po
26、ints. That extra space equals-about 0. 88 millimeters. The recording allowed the scientists to measure someones reading speed and count any errors, such as skipped words. People with dyslexia often employ aids to help them read, such as colored overlays（透明膜）. So the researchers offered those colored
27、 plastic sheets to the students here. Readers place the plastic on top of the text and then read through it. Those colored overlays didnt help either group of kids. But the extra spacing did. Kids with dyslexia read the wider-spaced text 13 percent faster than the text with original spacing. These k
28、ids also made fewer mistakes. Students without dyslexia read faster, too, although only by 5 percent. Stagg studies how the mind processed language. He wasnt surprised that the colored overlays werent helpful. Stagg has dyslexia and says colored overlays never helped him much, either. What was unexp
29、ected to the scientist was that wider-spaced letters helped even kids without dyslexia. This is very good news. It means teachers and publishers can print material with extra spacing between letters knowing it will help everyone. Readers with dyslexia wont feel singled out by having to use special r
30、eading materials. Its a simple fix, too. Certain text-writing and document-processing software, such as Microsoft Word, can easily add extra spacing between letters. Web designers can add space to the text on their pages, too. 32. What were the students asked to do in the research?A. Read two passag
31、es out. B. Record their reading speed. C. Distinguish the letter space. D. Avoid errors in reading activity. 33. What surprised Steven Stagg about the study?A. The uselessness of the overlays. B. The negative effects of dyslexia. C. The help of wider letter space to kids. D. The reading speed of kid
32、s with dyslexia. 34. Why does the author mention Microsoft Word in the last paragraph?A. To draw a comparison. B. To clarify a concept. C. To make a summary. D. To provide an example. 35. What is the authors attitude to the finding of the research?A. Disapproval. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Unclea
