(40 points)Text 1Neil Jordan,a conservation biologist,has come up with a novel method for protecting cattle from African lions: paint eyes on their behinds.The lions will think their intended prey（猎物）has seen them and will give up,since theyve lost the element of surprise.This psychological trickery has been called iCow,which is actually not as strange as it sounds.The eye-like patterns on butterfly wings are known to prevent preying birds and woodcutters in Indian forests wear masks on the backs of their heads when working to discourage hungry tigers.The inspiration for the iCow strategy came while Jordan was based in a village in Botswana,when two lionesses were killed by local farmers to revenge their cattles death.The African lion is a vulnerable species,with numbers dropping from over 100,000 in the 1990s to about 30,000 today.Much of that decline is due to these kinds of revengeful killings because farmers have no effective strategies for protecting their herds.Lions are hunters that like to attack by surprise.They move slowly,quietly,and carefully to their prey,get close,and jump on them unseen,he said.When Jordan was watching a lion follow an antelope one day,he noticed the lion gave up the hunt once the antelope spotted it.So he joined one of the local farmers on a 10-week trial study,painting eyes on one-third of a herd of 62 cattle. When the cattle returned each night,they took a head count to see how many had survived.Only three cows were killed by lions during this period-all without the painted eyes on their behinds.And all the painted cows survived. However,Jordan warned that so far this is just a promising idea.He is now back in Botswana for a more ambitious study,equipped with GPS devices to better monitor the movement of predators（捕食者）and prey.1、The iCow strategy is designed to .Akill the lions Bscare off PredatorsCidentify
