11、actors put in to provide us with entertainment, but it seems that even regular moviegoers like us have a big impact on how a movie turns out too. For decades now, film studios have used so-called test screenings to get feedback from members of the public before a movie comes out. While test audience

12、 members are usually asked to fill in a questionnaire after a screening, telling the film studio what they liked and didnt like, media giant Disney has come up with a more high-tech solution.According to a paper published this summer by the companys researchers, Disney is measuring test audiences re

13、actions by using special cameras placed inside cinemas. Pairing the cameras with custom software, the company can track what each audience member is feeling at any point in the movie, from anger to joy. This works by mapping 68 different points on each audience members face. The cameras can see in t

14、he dark, and the software can figure out a persons mood based on the slightest of facial expressions.Its hoped that this new method will allow more detailed feedback from test audiences. Rather than relying on audience members to recall their feelings after the movies over, it can accurately read th

15、eir reactions in real-time.Test screenings are highly valued in the movie industry, and several well-known movies have been greatly altered following feedback. Viewers of E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial (142), would have left the cinema feeling a whole lot differently if it werent for its test audiences

16、 feedback. “In one cut of the film that was tested, E.T. died instead of going home in his spaceship. You wont be surprised to hear that the test audience in question didnt warm to this ending at all,” wrote media website Den of Geek.But for those who are concerned about privacy, the cameras wont be

17、 installed in public cinemas. After all, unless youre part of a test audience, being in front of the camera is best left to the movie stars.1、Why are test screenings necessary?ATo amuse us.BTo influence a movie.CTo get reactions of the audience.DTo spy on the audience.2、How does the high-tech method

18、 work?AAudiences recall their detailed feelings.BThe cameras can read accurate feedback from the audience.CThe company can track each audience member.DThe company are measuring audiences reactions.3、What do we know about E.T? AIt doesnt warm the audience.BIt altered audiences feedback.CThe original

21、ject. They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence, or AI., to Hasbros “Joy for All” robotic cat.The cat has already been for sale for two years.

24、this year has become a true companion for Derr. The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Eliot is at work. Elliott said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater.The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cat

25、s will complete helpful activities and how they will communicate. They say that they do not want a talking cat, however. Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message. In the end, they hope to create an exchange between the hu
