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(眼睛識別) program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and France. Soon, this technology(技術(shù)) will change all other ways of finding out who people are.
However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hands or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your fingers.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94％ correct, depending on(依靠) how good the technology is. Some programs may only be right 51％ of the time. 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!
【小題1】What is the advantage of using the eye-recognition program?

A．You needn’t use a machine.

B．You needn’t remember a number.

C．You needn’t look at the machine.

D．You needn’t take some money with you.

【小題2】How does the eye-recognition program work?

A．You type in your number.	B．You show your ID card.
C．You look at the machine.	D．You say your name.

【小題3】Why can the eye-recognition program be up to 94％ correct?

A．Because eyes hardly change.

B．Because hands or fingers can get dirty.

C．Because people like the idea of the program.

D．Because the program is widely used around the world.

【小題4】Which recognition program has been already in use?

Do you know why different animals or pests (昆蟲) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
　　Some birds like eating locusts (蝗蟲), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(莊稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (獵人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液體)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散開), its enemies (敵人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
【小題1】From the passage we learn that locusts________.

A．a(chǎn)re small animals	B．a(chǎn)re easily found by birds
C．a(chǎn)re dangerous to their enemies	D．change their colors to protect themselves

【小題2】How can pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?

A．They run away quickly.	B．They have the colors much like their enemies.
C．They hide themselves by day and appear at night.	D．They have to move quietly.

【小題3】Bears and lions can keep safe because _________.

A．they have the colors much like the trees	B．they move quietly
C．they like brown and gray colors	D．they live in forests

【小題4】Why can the kind of fish live up to now?

A．Because it is very and strong.

B．Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.

C．Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.

D．Because it swims faster than any other fish.

【小題5】Which is the best title for this passage?

A．The Change of Colors for Animals and Pests	B．Colors of Different Animals and Pests
C．The Main Use of Colors for Animals and Pests	D．Some Animals and Pests
