He never thought it would change his life forever. Walking through the forest with his gun, Mr. Deb was tracking crop-destroy

17、ing wild pigs after complains from local farmers. But as he advanced towards his target, Mr. Deb stepped on a bear. The bear awoke and attacked him, and its claws tore through his face. Instinctively, he shot the bear and it fell down dead. “As a result of the bear attack, I lost my right eye, most

18、of my nose and several teeth. My tongue was also tom apart,” he said. But the near-death experience also changed the hunter forever. “For me it was a new start life. I wanted to do something meaningful. So I decided to use the opportunity to protect wild animals rather than hunt them.” said Mr. Deb.

19、 Villagers today will inform him when any animal or rare bird strays(误入) into their area from the nearby forest.

20、ls and birds back into the forest. Those animals and birds which cannot be released end up staying in his rescue center close to his home. “I cant set all the animals free -some are too old and others are seriously injured. Besides, the forests around this area are no longer large enough to support

21、them.” he says. “The black bear came to me as a cub(幼崽) and it was raised here. Now, it doesnt know how to hunt. So it will not get enough food in the forest and it can be easily hunted by poachers(偷猎者).” The rescue center is home to a bear, a rare albino fishing cat, rock pythons, gibbons, monkeys,

22、 spotted deer, vultures and various types of wild birds. The animals are inside cages but are kept in clean conditions and are regularly fed.

Not particularly known for being humans, theyre also not planning to release or retire the dolphins, but theyre considering what other jobs they could be assigned to probably som

27、e just as dangerous. “Everyone is familiar with security patrol dogs. You may even know that because of their exceptionally keen sense of smell, dogs like beagles are also used to detect drugs and bombs, or land mines. But a dog would not be effective in finding a sea mine,” reads the Navys site. “B

28、ut just as the dogs keen sense of smell makes it ideal for detecting land nines, the U.S. Navy has found that the biological sonar(声呐) of dolphins, called echolocation, makes them uniquely effective at locating sea mines so they can be avoided or removed.” The Navy will now equip underwater robots w

29、hich will do the same job at a bigger distance, without needing constant rest and manned monitor. I, for one, hope the dolphins will be given a break and assigned to a safer task.29.

The HyperCam, based on hyperspectral(高光谱的) imaging, assessed ripeness with 94 percent accuracy and could also be used to

33、 check for rotting produce in the fridge at home. Scientists at the University of Washington in Seattle managed to create a portable hyperspectral imaging camera that would cost $800 (£520). Hyperspectral imaging uses a broader range of the electromagnetic spectrum(电磁波) than an ordinary camera.

34、 The researchers are now working on a version of the technology that shoppers could download on to a mobile phone for about $50. The technology is already used in satellite imaging, building safety inspection, but is a highly costly process. Professor Shwetak Patel, of the University of Washington,

35、said: “Its not there yet but you can probably imagine putting it in a mobile phone. With this kind of camera you could go to the grocery store and know what produce to pick by looking underneath the skin and seeing if theres anything wrong inside. Its like having a food safety app in your pocket.” N

36、eel Joshi, a Microsoft researcher, said: “Existing systems are costly and hard to use so we decided to create an inexpensive hyperspectral camera and explore these uses ourselves. After building the camera we just started pointing it at everyday objects, really anything we could find in our homes an

37、d offices, and we were amazed at all the hidden information it revealed.” Other potential uses for the technology include analyzing blood vessels and identifying individual people by the unique texture(纹理) of their skin.33.
