The programme 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) programme has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology(技术) will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.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 programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on(取决于) how good the technology is. However, some other programmes may only be 51% correct at present. 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 you in the eye. So smile!( ) 49. Where has the eye-recognition programme already been tested in a few countries?A. shops and banksB. shops and schoolsC. banks and schoolsD. schools and hospitals( ) 50.

Everyone’s eyes are different, even twins have different eyes.D. We can’t see anything without eyes.CWhat do you mean?Pete is on holiday in Thailand. He is learning about the local customs(风俗，习俗). Lily: Hi, Pete, are you enjoying your holiday in Thailand?Pete: It’s great. It is a beautiful place and I am learning a lot about the country.Lily: It must be hard to talk to people if you don’t speak their language.Pete: I do my best with the few words I know but sometimes gestures（手势，姿势）and body language are more important.Lily: What do you mean?Pete: Well, last week I wanted to get my computer fixed. I went into a local computer shop. I explained the problem to the man who worked in the shop. He kept nodding his head and smiling. He seemed to understand everything I said. When I came back the next day to get my computer, he hadn’t done anything to it. I explained again and he nodded and smiled. I said I would come back the next day.Lily: So what happened next?Pete: That eveningI met my friend Lin for a drink. I told her about my laptop（笔记本电脑）.She laughed and said, “He doesn’t understand what you want.” I said, “But he keeps nodding at me.” Lin explained that nods and smiles don’t mean the same in Thailand as they do in England. She volunteered to come with me to the shop the next day. The guyin the shop was so happy to see her. He had no idea about what I wanted! In Thailand a nod means “I respect you（尊敬）”, not “Yes, I know what you are talking about !” A smile can mean “sorry’.Lily: That is so funny. You were lucky that Lin could sort that problem out. Did you get your laptop fixed?Pete: Yes, I did! --选自《初中英语读本》8B ( ) 53.
