Within five minutes of meeting Olivia Ports，I knew she was a special teenager.I knew before she picked up her guitar and performed a song.I knew before I found out how a condition she was born with changed her childhood.And I knew before her mother told me Olivia performed recently in front of 1，200 people.
    In addition to her impressive musical talents，Olivia is just so friendly，funny and grateful to those who made her first show such a success.Like all children fighting chronic（慢性的） diseases，the journey she has been on has made her stronger.
    Olivia admits that she's not like many kids her age.Describing herself as "a little bit crazy"，she acts older than she is.
    She was born with a compromised immune system（缺乏抵抗力的免疫系統(tǒng)）.When she realized she would have to give up her beloved gymnastics，she picked up her mom's old high school guitar and taught herself to play. "I had to have something to do with so much time，" she said.
    It was during a hospital visit that she met Classical Blast，a popular band that invited Olivia to join them as a guest performer on their annual Christmas tour.Their encouragement gave her the courage to begin playing at public events in the area，and she was soon a regular on stage.It was yet another treatment that led to her most recent passion.Recovering in her room for 15 days last Christmas，Olivia saw firsthand "how sad it can be" for children to be in hospital during the holidays.That's why this year Olivia decided to do a benefit，asking guests to bring a toy that could be taken to young patients.
    Speaking of the future，the high school senior plans to head to college with the goal of opening a music school for those with health challenges."When you fill your life with things you love，" she said， "it makes every day more meaningful."

Before science became professionalized in the 19th century，（1）

naturalists were collecting information and helping us understand the natural world.A 2009 study found that nearly 50% of UK （2）

.Now，with our environment arguably under greater threat than ever and species declining at a（n）（4）

rate，volunteers are once again at the forefront of efforts to limit the damage.
   Volunteers and enthusiasts can be powerful drivers for big changes.On the Isle of Man，more than 8，000 people （nearly 10% of the population） are involved in regular weekend beach cleans.At one recent event，123 volunteers turned up and removed 183 bags of litter in just a couple of hours.In view of （5）

such as this，the island shares Unesco biosphere reserve status with the Galápagos，Yellowstone in the US，Uluru in Australia，and hundreds of other sites.
   Recreational divers are making a real difference underwater too.They monitor the spread of （6）

species，and record how native species respond.Divers also （7）

levels of marine litter and other human impacts.Volunteer divers have played an important role in collecting information about marine conservation zones.Volunteers have also made a vital contribution to the conservation of basking sharks.The work of a citizen science Basking Shark Project in the 1980s and 90s was （8）

3．Human memory is notoriously （眾所周知地） unreliable.Even people with the sharpest facial recognition skills can only remember so much.
    It's tough to quantify how good a person is （1）

remembering.No one really knows how many different faces someone can recall，for example，but various estimates tend to hover in the thousands – based on the number of acquaintances a person （2）

have.
    Machines aren't limited this way.Give the right computer a massive database of faces，and it can process what it sees – then recognize a face it （3）

（tell） to find – with remarkable speed and precision.This skill is （4）

supports the enormous promise of facial-recognition software in the 21^st century.It is also what makes contemporary surveillance （監(jiān)控） systems so scary.
    The thing is，machines sill have limitations when it comes to facial recognition.And scientists are only just beginning to understand what those constraints are. （5）

（figure） out how computers are struggling，researchers at the University of Washington created a massive database of faces – they call it MegaFace – and （6）

（test） a variety of facial-recognition algorithms（算法） as they scales up in complexity.The idea was to test the machines on a database that included up to 1 million different images of nearly 7，000 different people – and not just a large database （7）

（feature） a relatively small number of different faces，more consistent with what's been used in other research.
    As the databases grew，machine accuracy dipped across the board.Algorithms （8）

were right 95% of the time when they were dealing with a 13，000-image database，for example，were accurate about 70% of the time when （9）

（identify） as two separate people，or the same person who appeared in different photos at different ages or in different lighting，whom the machine would incorrectly view as separate people.
