25、Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important in your life? ”, maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet. ”

The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today. ”

The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.

Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their hearts into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.

We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.

26、Friendship Magazine

27、Facial-recognition(人脸识别) cameras are everywhere-even in your smartphone. Many people use this technology to unlock(解锁) their phones, open doors, or make quick payments. But during the pandemic(流行病) , there is a problem: everyone wears masks. What a trouble!

Scientists are trying to solve this problem. For example, Engineering&Technology(E&T) magazine reports that Hanwang, a tech company in Beijing, has made a new system(系统) . It can recognize 95 percent of people when they wear masks.

What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes.

Marios Sawides from Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition. As we get older, he says, our faces change shape. But the area around our eyes doesn’t. It stays the same-even if we put on weight(体重). As long as there are enough data(数据) from the area of our eyes, the cameras can recognize(认出) us.

Tech5 is another facial-recognition company. The Swiss company’s product scans(扫描) the shape of your face. It also scans your iris(虹膜), which is the colored part of your eyes. Tech5 hopes to ignore(忽略) all of the face below the nose.

This kind of software is more important than just unlocking your phone. “It can detect crime suspects(寻找犯罪嫌疑人) and terrorists(恐怖分子) even when they wear masks, ”said Huang Lei from Hanwang. Hanwang’s technology is used by Chinese police in places like subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force.

Huang pointed out one big weakness(不足): it fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial(面部的) information is lost, ” Lei said to E&T.

【1】What problem does Hanwang’s new system try to solve?

A．How to unlock phones with facial-recognition technology.

B．How to protect people during the pandemic.

C．How to realize facial-recognition when people wear masks.

D．How to find crime suspects at bus stations and cinemas.

【2】What can we learn according to Marios Sawides?

A．Cameras can always recognize people by their shape of face.

B．The area around our eyes stays the same shape as we get older,

C．Putting on weight may change the shape of our eyes.

D．Facial recognition technology works better on young people.

【3】Which part of the face does Tech5 use to develop their technology?

A．Mouth.

B．Face color.

C．Iris.

D．Nose,

Today I read a piece of shocking news on the newspaper. It really makes me feel 【1】. It was a story happened in Shanghai.【2】 80-year-old man fell down at the back doorway of a bus, but he couldn't 【3】 up by himself. Other passengers near the man just looked at him. 【4】, no one dared(敢) to give a helping hand. So the old man shouted, "Help me, please! I fell down all by 【5】, I promise!"

The question “ To help 【8】 not to help the fallen aged” has became a debate(争议) these years in China. Some people think we should help them, while others don’t think【9】.
