On the 1st of March Bulgarian people celebrate a traditional holiday called Baba Marta and it is related to welcoming the approaching spring.People all over the world meet spring with joy and new hopes but in Bulgaria it is saved as an ancient tradition.
   On that day,Bulgarians exchange so-called "Martenitsa" and tell each other,"Chestita Baba Marta!"(Happy Grandma Marta!).This custom is essentially to wish great health,good luck,and happiness to family and friends.The name "Martenitsa" is taken from the Bulgarian word for March,or,as a legend tells,an angry old lady called Grandma Marta-Baba Marta in Bulgarian.
   In Bulgarian folklore Baba Marta is a grumpy old woman who changes her mood very rapidly and it reflects in the changeable March weather.When she is smiling the weather is sunny and warm,but if she gets angry the cold will stay for longer and it may even snow.By wearing the red and white colors of the Martenitsa,they hoped that it will make winter pass faster and bring spring.
   The Martenitsa is made of twined red and white threads-woollen,silk,or cotton.The white is a symbol of strength,purity and happiness.The red is associated with health and blood.
   When someone gives you a Martenitsa you should wear it either pinned on your clothes,on the hand tied around the wrist,or around your neck until you see,or a fruit tree in blossom for the first time in the season.After that you can tie it on a blossoming tree for fertility.Like kind of amulet,Martenitsa was regarded as a magic power believed to protect folks from "ill fortune",diseases and an evil eye.
   The custom of wearing Martenitsa is probably one of the most interesting Bulgarian traditions and it is considered to be unique to Bulgaria.According to one of the many legends,this tradition is also related to the founding of the Bulgarian state in 681 AD.

  • 3.When scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors,how do they know who's who?
       In the past,scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to distinguish them.But in the future,they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology.
       A research team from China's Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys (金絲猴) that live on Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi province.
       Similar to human facial recognition,the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database (數(shù)據(jù)庫) that includes every monkey,Xinhua reported.
       "When the system is fully developed,we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains.The system will automatically (自動(dòng)地) recognize the monkeys,name them and analyze their
    behavior, " said Zhang He,a member of the research team.
       "For each snub-nosed monkey,we have 700 to 800 image samples,and the recognition success rate is 94 percent, "Zhang added.
       "We used mobile phones and portable (可攜帶的) cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters, " said He Gang,a member of the research team and an associate (副的) professor in the College of Life Sciences at Northwest University. "There is no need to interfere (打擾) with the monkeys . . .Such a method of sampling is clearly non-invasive (非侵入性的). "
       Compared to humans,facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because of their hairier faces.The color of their hair causes them to blend (融入) into their environment.These factors make it harder for computers to identify them.
       "Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do.It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them,which are needed to improve the system, "said Li Baoguo,leader of the research team.
       Currently,there are about 4,000 snub-nosed monkeys living on Qinling Mountain.The team's goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.

    (1)What problem do scientists face while studying monkeys according to the text?

    A.How to mark them.
    B.How to tell them apart.
    C.How to understand their behavior.
    D.How to observe them clearly
    (2)What does the article tell us about facial recognition technology for monkeys?

    A.It is now widely adopted in China.
    B.It works better than human facial recognition.
    C.It will use monkeys' behavior to create a database.
    D.It can help scientists study monkeys without disturbing them.
    (3)What does "these factors" in paragraph 8 refer to?

    a.Image samples.
    b.Hairy faces.
    c.Hair color.
    d.The environment.
    A.a(chǎn)b
    B.a(chǎn)c
    C.bc
    D.bd
    (4)What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?

    A.To introduce a new way to identify monkeys.
    B.To show the importance of studying monkeys.
    C.To compare different ways to identify monkeys.
    D.To explain difficulties in developing a new system.
