It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home.Janina Mattausch is a product marketing manager for Netatmo.The common security (安全) cameras at present are not that smart. So, they can tell you if something is moving but they dont necessarily know if its a human being or, ah, if its your kid- they dont know the difference, so they will warn (警告) you all the time.When family members enter a home, the new camera recognizes (识别) them and sends information to the owners smartphone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send the owner a warning that will cause an alarm to sound on the owners smartphone.That is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Damien. He lives in Paris.On a Friday I was at work, attending a big monthly meeting when my phone warned. At first I told myself Oh, it must be a mistake, maybe I have to set the system again. but the notice on my phone was telling me that there was a movement in my flat and also a face that the software did not recognize.He watched the video and was very surprised by what he saw.I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on. I was watching it live on video. So I felt totally unbelievable, frozen. I asked a workmate to take me back home as fast as possible and I called the police on the way.With the help of the video, the police found the intruder (闯入者) later that day.（1）The new camera made by Netatmo can .

The results of a survey of 1,850 Los Angeles County high school students show just how much the cuts are affecting students.Because of teacher layoffs(解雇), class sizes at some high schools have risen to 50students even in math and English classes. Some 37 percent of students report that they sometimes, dont have a desk to sit at. Sixty seven percent say crowded classrooms make them feel the teachers dont have enough time to teach, and 30 percent say theyre not been able to join in a program because its no longer offered at their school.At a time when technology is an important skill, 52 percent of students say there arent enough computers. Or theyre often broken, and theres no one to fix them. Fifty-one percent say theyve had to share textbooks with a classmate because there arent enough copies to go around. Fifty seven percent say they had to copy information because their school doesnt have enough paper to make copies.We have only one science teacher for the entire(整个的) high school, writes Felix Ruano, a 16 year old student. He goes on describing how that teacher, who is only qualified to teach chemistry, is teaching physics or, at least, is trying to do so. He shows physics videos and we teach ourselves from our textbook, says Ruano. And, as has been seen elsewhere, all but one of the restrooms at Ruanos school have been closed because we dont have enough people to clean them.Ruano notes that though faced with the challenges, 97 percent of students say they plan to go to college. But without properly trained teachers and the best resources, says Ruano, its not likely that every student will achieve that goal. Unless schools fix these problems, he says, students could lose hope.（1）According to the text, education cuts have led to the following results EXCEPT that .

Is it a plane? No, its Hello Kitty.Thats how Lauren Rojas, 12, from the US thought of her science project. She sent her Hello Kitty doll into the sky early this month. She wanted to find out how altitude(高度) changed air pressure(气压) and temperature, according to New York Daily News.Rojas put the doll and a small computer into a rocket model, and then sent it up with a weather balloon(气球). The computer recorded the height, air pressure and temperature. Rojas also put in a video camera to record the trip.It took about two or three weeks to put it all together, said Rojas. I think people will think it (the video) is really cool.The balloon got to 28.5km above the Earth. At that height, the doll could see the blue curves(曲线) of our planet.
