13、was very happy toshare the cat with us. Now it has two families who love him,” Arkaitz said.“So, he has developed a schedule to come at around specific times.”The problem was that neither Garro nor his wife could simply stand by the door waiting for it to show up, so he came up with a device（装置） mad

14、e up of a minicomputer complete with a camera that would use motiondetection（运动检测） and imagerecognition AI software toautomatically identify the cat and then message him so he could let the animal in.“We just want to be notified when he is around,” Arkaitz explained.“When it detects movement, it sen

15、ds the picture to a recognition software, which checks against the identity of the cat based on previous imagery of the cat.” “It took me just a few hours to put all the pieces together and the software up and running, but some more time after to fine tune the software to be able to recognize the ca

20、exandria, Virginia. Dogs started showing up there when the head of school, Jeff Sindler, brought his clumsy Labrador, Luke, to the main office building where Sindler works.

21、 a school favorite.“They dont care if youre good at basketball, or a great reader, or popular,” Sindler said. “They just want to be loved equal opportunity,” he added. Cameron and the other dogs on campus always fastened with a rope and with their owner go a long way toward improving students social

22、 and emotional wellbeing, he said. They reduce tension and ease anxiety, and inspire happy feelings from students. “They bring out some superbasic and important emotions,” he said,“and are especially helpful for children and adults who struggle in social communication.” Children often came from chal

28、ccording to a Yaleled analysis of statements from more than 50 recognized civilian heroes published online Oct. 15 in the journal PLOS ONE. “We wonder if people who act with extreme altruism（利他主义） do so without thinking, or if conscious selfcontrol is needed to override negative emotions like fear,”

29、 said David Rand, a Yale psychologist who authored the study with Ziv G. Epstein of Pomona College in Claremont, Calif.“Our analyses show that strongly, extreme altruists report acting first and thinking later.” Rand, who studies human cooperation, got hundreds of participants to read 51 statements

30、made by individuals who have received the Carnegie Hero Medal, given to civilians who risk their lives to save strangers. Participants analyzed those statements for evidence of whether they acted intuitively or with deliberation. An analysis of text by computer did the same. “What you dont find in t

31、he statements is people who say,I thought it over and I decided it was the right thing to do,” Rand said. Instead, most responded like Christine Marty, a 21yearold college student who rescued a 69year old trapped in a car during a flashflood. “Im thankful I was able to act and not think about it,” M

33、be cooperative. Rand cautions that intuitive responses are not necessarily genetically hardcoded. He believes people learn that helping others is often in their own longterm selfinterest and develop intuitive habits of cooperation, rather than possessing an inborn tendency preserved byevolution. “Th
