Hunter Shamatt lost his wallet while he was on a Frontier Airlines flight from Omaha．Upon realizing that his wallet was lost，he contacted the airline to see if anyone had turned it in， but to no avail．Since the wallet contained his ID，a signed paycheck，his debit card，and ＄60 in cash，he "feared the worst"．
    Shortly after the flight，however，Hunter was surprised to receive a package in the mail from an anonymous（匿名的） sender．Inside was his wallet- along with an additional ＄40 in cash． "I rounded your cash up to an even ＄100 so you could celebrate getting your wallet back．Have fun!!!"，read a letter that was enclosed with the package．
    Hunter's mother，Jeannie，posted a photo of the letter to social media in hopes that they would be able to track down the sender and thank him for his kindness．All they could know was that the sender's initials were signed： "T．B"．
    The good sender was later identified as Todd Brown，a father-of-five who was delighted at the chance to "have a little fun" with helping out a hard-working stranger．
    "I saw he was just a kid，20 years old，he had a paycheck in there，so I figured， 'Well，he's doing his best to make ends meet．'" Brown told Yahoo Lifestyle．
    "Hunter was very thankful．He told me he has some student loans and a car payment that he needed to make so the timing was right，" Brown added． "They assumed it was gone forever．So when he opened it，he just started screaming， 'No way!No way!'"
    Brown says that he often tries to do good deeds without any recognition and that's why he neglected to sign his full name on the letter，but Jeannie later insisted on praising the sender on social media．
    "This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything．I personally want to thank Todd Brown for restoring faith that there are amazing people out there and that the world is not as cruel as it's being made out to be．" she wrote on Facebook．

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）

（face） with 1 million images.That's still pretty good，says one of the researchers，Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman. "Much better than we expected，" she said，
    Machines also had difficulty adjusting for people who look a lot alike –either doppelgangers （長(zhǎng)相極相似的人），whom the machine would have trouble （10）

（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.
