NHANH DC TICK
WIRES (Wildlife Information and Rescue Service) began in 1985 when someone found an injured bird in a park in Sydney, Australia. At the time, no one knew how to help this “native” animal. WIRES helps animals like snakes, kangaroos and, of course, birds. However, they can only help native Australian wildlife - animals that originally come from Australia. That means they can't help other animals like cats or rabbits that were brought to Australia from other parts of the world.

Like other animal rescue groups, WIRES needs more people. I believe they are definitely helping the local animals, but they can only continue if others join in. They hold excellent courses, where people can learn what to do when they find an injured animal. They also explain what happens to the animals in their care. Many of the people who help also take care of the animals themselves in their own gardens or on their farms.

I spoke to 15-year-old Guy McKenzie, whose dad helps WIRES in his free time. Guy told me about the work they do. “Dad usually gets a phone call at home and drives immediately to where the animal is, to rescue it. He has special equipment and always wears gloves. The animals are wild, after all!”

Guy also talked about a woman who found a bat in her garden. She thought it might be dead, but then she noticed that there was a baby bat too. Guy's dad brought it back to the centre, where it grew into a healthy adult. Then, WIRES was able to return it to nature. Guy showed me a baby kangaroo that his dad was looking after and told me that one day he'll be doing the same thing. Yes, he will, for sure.

  3. What does Guy’s dad do for the organisation?

Besides the marsupial, the strange animals of the continent include emu and the duckbill platypus. There are many physical feature of Australia that also are unique, including the central part of the country known as "Outback" , which consists off three main deserts. More than half of all Australians live in large, morden cities along the coast. There are so many people living in the small towns on the edge of the Outback, where there is plenty of grassfor raising sheep and cattle. Autralia rates first in the world for sheep raising.

Scientists have long struggled with how to measure the effects of climate change on wildlife. This is especially true for birds flying in and out of coastal areas bordering the Arctic Ocean. In the past, researchers depended mainly on information gathered by satellite to follow the movement of birds and animals. But this method can be costly and result in huge amounts of information, which can be difficult to process.

Now scientists are turning to another kind of technology to help them follow birds and other wildlife. Songbirds are especially difficult to study in the wild. They can fly across thousands of kilometers and their bodies are too small for electronic tracking devices.

A new report tells about a project in which researchers recorded songbirds and then put the sounds into a computer program to be studied. The researchers created machine learning algorithms with the ability to focus on bird calls while ignoring other noises. The algorithm helps improve the likelihood of predicting the correct result. Similar machine learning methods have been used to recognize human speech.

Các nhà khoa học từ lâu đã phải vật lộn với cách đo lường tác động của biến đổi khí hậu đối với động vật hoang dã. Điều này đặc biệt đúng đối với các loài chim bay vào và ra khỏi các khu vực ven biển giáp với Bắc Băng Dương. Trong quá khứ, các nhà nghiên cứu phụ thuộc chủ yếu vào thông tin thu thập bởi vệ tinh để theo dõi sự di chuyển của chim và động vật. Nhưng phương pháp này có thể tốn kém và dẫn đến lượng thông tin khổng lồ, có thể khó xử lý. Bây giờ các nhà khoa học đang chuyển sang một loại công nghệ khác để giúp họ theo dõi chim và động vật hoang dã khác. Songbirds đặc biệt khó học trong tự nhiên. Họ có thể bay qua hàng ngàn cây số và cơ thể của họ quá nhỏ cho các thiết bị theo dõi điện tử. Một báo cáo mới cho biết về một dự án trong đó các nhà nghiên cứu ghi nhận loài chim biết hót và sau đó đưa âm thanh vào một chương trình máy tính để nghiên cứu. Các nhà nghiên cứu đã tạo ra các thuật toán học máy với khả năng tập trung vào các cuộc gọi chim trong khi bỏ qua các tiếng ồn khác. Thuật toán giúp cải thiện khả năng dự đoán kết quả chính xác. Các phương pháp học máy tương tự đã được sử dụng để nhận ra lời nói của con người.

The advent of the Internet may be one of the most important technological developments in recent years. Never before have so many people had access to so many different sources of information. For all of the Internet’s advantages, however, people are currently becoming aware of some of its drawbacks and are looking for creative solutions. Among the current problems, which include a general lack of reliability and numerous security concerns, the most crucial is speed.

First of all, the Internet has grown very quickly. In 1990, only a few academics had ever heard of the Internet. In 1996, over 50 million people used it. Every year, the number of people with access to the Internet doubles. The rapid growth has been a problem. The computer systems which run the Internet have not been able to keep up with the demand. Also, sometimes, a request for information must pass through many routing computers before the information can be obtained. A request for information made in Paris might have to go through computers in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to obtain the required information. Consequently, the service is often slow and unpredictable. Service also tends to be worse when the Internet is busiest - during the business day of the Western Hemisphere - which is also when companies need its service the most.

Some people are trying to harness the power of networked computers in such a way as to avoid this problem. In 1995, a group of American universities banded together to form what has come to be known as Internet II. Internet II is a smaller, more specialized system intended for academic use. Since it is more specialized, fewer users are allowed access. Consequently, the time required to receive information has decreased.

Businesses are beginning to explore a possible analogue to the Internet II. Many businesses are creating their own “Intranets”. These are systems that can only be used by the members of the same company. In theory, fewer users should translate into a faster system. Intranets are very useful for large national and international companies whose branches need to share information. Another benefit of an Intranet is an increased amount of security. Since only company employees have access to the information on the Intranet, their information is protected from competitors. While there is little doubt that the Internet will eventually be a fast and reliable service, industry and the academic community have taken their own steps toward making more practical global networks.

A. Internet là một phương tiện an toàn để thu thập thông tin.

B. Dữ liệu Internet tỏ ra không thực tế.

C. Internet có tốc độ tăng trưởng rất lớn.

D. Rất ít người đã sử dụng Internet.

Thông tin ở câu thứ 2 của đoạn 2: In 1990, only a few academics had ever heard of the Internet.

Tạm dịch: Năm 1990, chỉ có một vài học giả đã từng nghe về Internet.

Dịch bài

          Sự ra đời của Internet có thể là một trong những phát triển công nghệ quan trọng nhất trong những năm gần đây. Chưa bao giờ nhiều người có quyền truy cập vào nhiều nguồn thông tin khác nhau như vậy. Tuy nhiên, đối với tất cả các lợi thế của Internet, mọi người hiện đang nhận thức được một số nhược điểm của nó và đang tìm kiếm các giải pháp sáng tạo. Trong số các vấn đề hiện tại, bao gồm thiếu độ tin cậy nói chung và nhiều mối quan tâm về bảo mật, quan trọng nhất là tốc độ.

Trước hết, Internet đã phát triển rất nhanh. Năm 1990, chỉ có một vài học giả đã từng nghe nói về Internet. Năm 1996, hơn 50 triệu người đã sử dụng nó. Hàng năm, số người truy cập Internet tăng gấp đôi. Sự tăng trưởng nhanh chóng là một vấn đề. Các hệ thống máy tính chạy Internet đã không thể theo kịp nhu cầu. Ngoài ra, đôi khi, một yêu cầu thông tin phải đi qua nhiều máy tính định tuyến trước khi có thể lấy thông tin. Yêu cầu thông tin được thực hiện ở Paris có thể phải thông qua các máy tính ở New York, Los Angeles và Tokyo để có được thông tin cần thiết. Do đó, dịch vụ thường chậm và không thể đoán trước. Dịch vụ cũng có xu hướng tồi tệ hơn khi Internet bận rộn nhất - trong ngày làm việc của Tây bán cầu - cũng là lúc các công ty cần dịch vụ của mình nhất.

Một số người đang cố gắng khai thác sức mạnh của các máy tính nối mạng theo cách để tránh vấn đề này. Vào năm 1995, một nhóm các trường đại học Mỹ đã cùng nhau thành lập nên cái được gọi là Internet II. Internet II là một hệ thống nhỏ hơn, chuyên biệt hơn dành cho mục đích học tập. Vì nó chuyên dụng hơn nên ít người dùng được phép truy cập. Do đó, thời gian cần thiết để nhận thông tin đã giảm.

Các doanh nghiệp đang bắt đầu khám phá một sự tương tự có thể với Internet II. Nhiều doanh nghiệp đang tạo ra mạng Intranets của riêng họ. Đây là những hệ thống chỉ có thể được sử dụng bởi các thành viên của cùng một công ty. Về lý thuyết, ít người dùng nên chuyển thành một hệ thống nhanh hơn. Mạng nội bộ rất hữu ích cho các công ty lớn trong nước và quốc tế có chi nhánh cần chia sẻ thông tin. Một lợi ích khác của Intranet là tăng cường bảo mật. Vì chỉ nhân viên công ty mới có quyền truy cập vào thông tin trên Intranet, thông tin của họ được bảo vệ khỏi các đối thủ cạnh tranh. Mặc dù có chút nghi ngờ rằng Internet cuối cùng sẽ là một dịch vụ nhanh chóng và đáng tin cậy, ngành công nghiệp và cộng đồng học thuật đã có những bước đi riêng để tạo ra các mạng toàn cầu thực tế hơn.

The advent of the Internet may be one of the most important technological developments in recent years. Never before have so many people had access to so many different sources of information. For all of the Internet’s advantages, however, people are currently becoming aware of some of its drawbacks and are looking for creative solutions. Among the current problems, which include a general lack of reliability and numerous security concerns, the most crucial is speed.

First of all, the Internet has grown very quickly. In 1990, only a few academics had ever heard of the Internet. In 1996, over 50 million people used it. Every year, the number of people with access to the Internet doubles. The rapid growth has been a problem. The computer systems which run the Internet have not been able to keep up with the demand. Also, sometimes, a request for information must pass through many routing computers before the information can be obtained. A request for information made in Paris might have to go through computers in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to obtain the required information. Consequently, the service is often slow and unpredictable. Service also tends to be worse when the Internet is busiest - during the business day of the Western Hemisphere - which is also when companies need its service the most.

Some people are trying to harness the power of networked computers in such a way as to avoid this problem. In 1995, a group of American universities banded together to form what has come to be known as Internet II. Internet II is a smaller, more specialized system intended for academic use. Since it is more specialized, fewer users are allowed access. Consequently, the time required to receive information has decreased.

Businesses are beginning to explore a possible analogue to the Internet II. Many businesses are creating their own “Intranets”. These are systems that can only be used by the members of the same company. In theory, fewer users should translate into a faster system. Intranets are very useful for large national and international companies whose branches need to share information. Another benefit of an Intranet is an increased amount of security. Since only company employees have access to the information on the Intranet, their information is protected from competitors.

While there is little doubt that the Internet will eventually be a fast and reliable service, industry and the academic community have taken their own steps toward making more practical global networks.
