African elephants can now be counted from space，using high resolution images （高清图像）.The researchers say the new technology can be used to protect the animals better.
The researchers used satellites （卫星） 372 miles above the earth to take some of the highest resolution images. They then made a computer program that could identify （识别） elephants within the images （图像）.Dr Olga Isupova，from the University of Bath，told the BBC， "We could train the machine to see small details that we wouldn't be able to pick up with our eyes."
Usual ways of counting elephants are to fly above them in the planes or get humans to count the animals on satellite images.This can be difficult，because elephants are hard to be seen when they are among trees or tall grass.It takes a long time and mistakes can be made.The new technology means elephants can be counted more correctly and the work is much faster.The computers can do the same amount of counting in a few hours by the new technology instead of （代替） humans' monthly work.Clouds still are a challenge，because they can block （遮挡） the satellites' view.Luckily though，most places where the elephants live do not have much cloud.
The researchers say the new technology can help to save elephant populations from being hunted （捕猎），because it is easier to find where the elephants are and so plans can be made to protect them.

A. The elephants. B. The images. C. The satellites. D. The researchers.
20.How does the writer organize Paragraph 3？ ______

A. Plans to Stop Hunting Elephants B. A New Technology of Counting
C. Protecting Elephants from Space D. Growing Populations of Elephants
D
Most people have a favorite color，but how people feel about colors depends on their culture.This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world.They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive，but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message.Look at these examples：
If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride to wear，the answer will be white.In China and other eastern countries，brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck，happiness and prosperity（繁荣）.

In Egypt，yellow is the color linked to death.In Britain and other western cultures，death and funerals（葬礼） are usually linked to the color black，but in many eastern countries，white is the color most people connect with death and funerals.
Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting.Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality.
In a word，colors have different meanings in different cultures.We should learn to choose the proper color in some special situation.
