【正文】 rtificial Intelligence, particularly in improving rapid learning.s Professor Adrian Dyer said numerical (數(shù)字的) operations like addition and subtraction are plex because they require two levels of processing. “You need to be able to hold the rules around adding and subtracting in your longterm memory, while mentally using skillfully a set of given numbers in your shortterm memory,” Dyer said. “On top of this, our bees also used their shortterm memories to solve arithmetic problems, as they learned to recognize plus or minus as abstract concepts.” “If math doesn39。 Many species can understand the difference between quantities and use this to search for food, make decisions and solve problems.

When forests disappear, migratory (遷徙的) songbirds disappear, too. In order to deal with severe population and habitat loss, Smithsonian scientists created the Bird Friendly certification. Bird Friendly producers can also earn more for their crops. The wood and fruit trees on shade coffee farms provide farmers with additional ine. Every cup of Bird Friendly coffee purchased rewards these farmers with a little more money for being good stewards of the environment and encourages them to continue conserving Bird Friendly habitat.s conservation research aimed at understanding and protecting your feathered friends. You can purchase Bird Friendly certified coffees around the world and protect wildlife and habitat with every cup. Find a store or cafe near you, or better yet, have it shipped to your door when you order online.（1）What is the present situation of coffee farms? A.Pesticides and chemicals used on them poisoned many birds.C.Scientists pay attention to them and have e up with an idea.（2）What39。They may have a better taste.B.They take less time to ripen.D.By charging consumers more money.B.By cutting down trees and selling wood.By serving as stewards of coffee consumers.（4）What does the text suggest coffee consumers do?

A.B.To pare the two situations.To emphasize the importance of safety.（2）What does the underlined word obstructing in paragraph 2 mean?
