The 17-year-old making films fun for deaf children

For eight-year-old Toby, who is deaf, watching films or TV can sometimes be a bit pointless, because so many of them don’t have sign language versions. “We have subtitles (字幕) but it goes too fast,” his dad Jarod Mills said. But now, Toby has some help thanks to an app     1     (develop) by a 17-year-old student, Mariella Satow, who created a signing app called SignUp.

She got the idea when she     2     (teach) herself American Sign Language (ASL) — one of hundreds of sign languages used across the world. Manella wanted to watch TV shows to help her learn, and she was disappointed     3     (discover) how few had signed versions. It’s taken a year for Mariella to develop the technology, with lots of help from ASL teachers and the deaf community.

The app is available in the US as a browser extension—with an interpreter appearing in a box     4     the film starts playing. It only works on Disney Plus films at the moment, because that’s     5     Mariella thought she could help the most children. Jarod,     6     works at a school for deaf children, says it was “exciting” watching Toby use Mariella’s invention. He says, “Kids are getting information like any hearing child does.”

Deaf people in the UK face many of the same barriers when it comes to cinema and TV. “A hearing person     7     go to the cinema any time whereas deaf people have to make sure there’s a suitable viewing a time we’re free,” says 27-year-old Stacey Worboys from Cardiff. She has learned British Sign Language(BSL), and is comfortable using subtitles when watching TV shows and films. But she feels having an interpreter would make things     8     (inclusive), especially for someone who might struggle with subtitles.

Stacey and Toby aren’t the only people to be welcoming Mariella’s app. It’s now got thousands of users, and she’s working long days to balance it with her A-level studies. The time difference from New York to her school in Rugby, Warwickshire, means she sets her alarm for 5am.

She admits it’s “a bit tough” – but the silver lining is it gives her time to work on SignUp once lessons are over. The positive reaction from teachers and parents has kept Mariella     9     (motivate) to face the early starts.” The most meaningful comments are when it’s the first time a child     10     (have) full access to a movie. The numbers don’t really matter. Instead, it’s the messages,” she says.

Cloning is a way of making an exact copy of another animal or plant.    1    has two major uses. One is that gardeners use it to produce commercial    2    （quantity）of plants. The other is that it is    3    （value）for research on new plant species and for medical research on animals. However, the procedure of cloning is difficult    4    （undertake）.

On the one hand, the first successful clone, Dolly the sheep,    5    （make）the whole scientific world follow its progress, though it had    6    （many）problems than the normal sheep. On the other hand, Dolly's    7    （appear）raised a storm of objections and had a great impact    8       the media and public imagination. Different people have different opinions on it.    9    , scientists still wonder whether cloning will help or ham us and    10    it is leading us.

The rainforests are alive with the sound of animals. Besides the pleasure of the noise, it is useful to ecologists. Listening out for animal calls is considered a method of measuring the biodiversity of a piece of land.     1     it is much easier than digging under the bushes looking for tracks, such analysis is time-consuming. It also requires     2     expert pair of ears.

In a paper published in Nature Communications, a group of researchers led by Jörg Müller, an ecologist at the University of Würzburg, describe a better way: have a computer do the job. Smartphone apps already exist through     3     the sounds of birds or mammals (哺乳动物) can be identified.

The researchers took recordings from across 43 sites in the Ecuadorean Rainforest (厄瓜多尔雨林). Some sites were relatively primitive, old-growth forests. Others were areas that     4     (clear) for pasture (牧场) already. Sound recordings were taken four times every hour, over two weeks. The various calls were identified manually by an expert, and then used to construct a list of the species present. As expected, the longer the land had been free from agricultural activity, the more significant the biodiversity it hosted.

Then it was the computer’s turn. The researchers fed their recordings to     5     (train) AI models, using sound samples from elsewhere in Ecuador, to identify 75 bird species from their calls. They found the AI tools could identify the sounds as well as the experts.

Not everything in a rainforest makes a noise. Having used light-traps to capture night-flying insects and DNA analysis     6     (identify) them, Dr Müller and his colleagues found the diversity of noisy animals was a reliable indicator for the diversity of the quieter     7    , too.

The results may have relevance outside ecology departments, too. Under pressure     8     their customers, some make-up companies and oil firms have been spending money on forest restoration projects. Dr Müller hopes an automated approach to     9     (check) on the results could help monitor such efforts. This method would also provide a standardized way to measure     10     they are working as well as their sponsors say.
