Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition(眼睛识别) program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of(取代)all other ways of finding out who people are.
Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris(虹膜), which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out of money, this machine will have iris feature extraction(采集).Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified, and he will take out of the money from the bank successfully.
However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology(科技)is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct now. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!

"I love you" might be one of the most important sentences in the English language. It shows the closeness among family members and friends.
In Mandarin, "I love you" translates as “我爱你”, but the way it's used in China might be a little different, and Chinese are wondering why.
The Global Times reports that two online videos showing children telling their parents "I love you" have been widely spread in China. The first, filmed by an Anhui TV station, shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them. The answers are mixed. "Are you drunk?" asked one parent. In another similar video, a father even said— "I am going to a meeting, so cut the crap."
Even the positive attitudes make it clear that the words are expressed rarely. "I am so happy you called to say that. It is the happiest thing that happened to me in 2014," one parent answered.
However, Chinese families hardly use those words. "The parents' answers show that many Chinese are not good at expressing positive feelings," Xia Xueluan, a Sociologist from Peking University, told the Global Times. "They are used to educating children with negative language."
This isn't the first time that China has done some soul-searching about familial love — last year China Daily asked a lot of people if they said 'I love you' to their parents, lovers, and children. "I have never said 'I love you' to my family, and I don't think I will in the future," one 56-year-old told the paper, "Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me."
Still, that doesn't mean that love can't be expressed. In another article, China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng, a 31-year-old woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face-to-face. Sometimes actions speak louder than words, however — Zhao gave her father, a photo album featuring photographs of them together on every one of her birthdays in June 2012. The pictures were popular online, being forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo. Her father was very excited when he heard about it.
1.What does the underlined word Mandarin probably mean?
A. French B. Japanese C. English D. Chinese
2.What can we infer（推断） from the parents’ answers in Paragragh3 and 4?
A. Some parents don’t love their children.
B. Parents in China are too busy.
C. Most Chinese students rarely express their positive feelings to their parents.
D. Children in China are always taught negative language.
3.What will that 56-year-old person feel if he/she says “I love you” to the families?
A. embarrassed B. excited C. proud D. unhappy
4.Why did Zhao give her father a photo album instead of saying "I love you"?
A. The album is more expensive.
B. His father likes the album better.
C. She thinks actions speak louder than words sometimes.
D. She hates saying "I love you" to her father.
5.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. I Love You B. A Photo Album
C. Two Online Videos D. Family members
Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands but never made it because most people were afraid of the awful storms.
