21、Calls to stop the use of face recognition technology are growing louder, but it is already too late. Given its widespread use by tech companies and the police, a permanent roll back is impossible.
The European Commission is considering temporarily banning the use of the technology in public spaces, giving politicians in Europe time to develop measures to reduce the potential risks of face recognition systems. 【1】 Public areas make up only a small proportion of the physical spaces we inhabit.
What about the many that are privately owned, such as shops, schools and museums, in which face recognition is steadily being rolled out, sometimes without our knowledge?
Most of us now associate face recognition with CCTV cameras（闭路电视摄像机）. 【2】 Facebook, for example, runs face recognition on users' photos to automatically identify them in other images on the site, which has been functioning for years. Russian search engine Yandex has a smart search function that, given one image of a face, can find pictures online of the same person even in different poses and lighting conditions.
【3】 An independent analysis of a face recognition trial by London's Metropolitan Police found 81 per cent of matches the system flagged to a watch list of suspects were incorrect. 【4】
So what is the possible solution? When we consider both the rate at which the technology is developing and its widespread use nowadays, it is crystal-clear that a ban on its use in public spaces would be too little, too late. 【5】 A set of effective rules on when and how it can be used needs to be decided quickly. Face recognition technology is here to stay; implementing a temporary ban would be the regulatory equivalent of burying our faces in the sand.
A．This applies to face recognition, as is often the case.
B．As a matter of fact, it is advancing in the online field, too.
C．What face recognition needs is strict and urgent regulation.
D．Other concerns relate to the fact that the technology is imperfect.
E．But the prohibitions are so limited that they are hardly bans at all.
F．And it's even less accurate for some minorities, which risks worsening racial issues.
G．Companies cannot let market make a final decision on the future of new technology.
22、When we flip (掷) a coin, the odds (概率)are 1 in 2: it has an equal chance of landing on “heads” or “tails”。 I flipped a coin 10 times. 【1】Why weren't there 5 heads and 5 tails? The answer is that the coin has an equal chance of landing on either heads or tails on every flip no matter what the last result was. 【2】But as we keep flipping a coin, the result totals will get closer and closer to half heads and half tails.
It's like dropping sprinkles (糖屑) randomly onto a black-and-white cookie. As you drop more and more sprinkles, you can expect the part of sprinkles to get closer and closer to half on each side. 【3】The chance of rolling any one side of the die (模具)-let's say a 2- is one-sixth. If you roll the die 6 times, you might get a 2 more than once, or not at all. But if you roll the die 300 times. the total number of 2s should be about 50 - one-sixth of the total.
Some mathematicians say that no one should ever play the lottery(彩票)，except for fun. 【4】In one simple lottery game, players pick three numbers, from 0 to 9. They may use the same numbers more than once, so choices range from 000 to 999. If the same three numbers that the player chose come up in the same order, the player wins. This set-up offers 1,000 possible combinations, so the odds of choosing the winning combination are l in 1,000.
That's why mathematicians caution that people should save their money. What can you count on? 【5】
A．The same idea is true for a six-sided die.
B．Here are some ways to think about odds.
C．Here are the results: 8 heads and only 2 tails!
D．We can't predict how any one coin lip will land.
E．The player chooses five different numbers from 1 through 70.
F．Your best bet is on your own talents, intelligence, and hard work.
G．The odds of winning enough money even to pay for the tickets are very small.
23、For some people, the past year may have brought disappointment and regrets, leaving them with a sense of loss about the year to come. With each New Year, though, comes fresh hope, change and the promise of exciting opportunities. 【1】

24、When we experience earthquakes, medical emergencies — whatever the situation, the first thing you probably do is panic. Everybody does. While many of us think that we’re cool in a crisis, science tells us that we seldom are. At the moment we need to be keenly aware of our surroundings, but our attention goes to the scariest thing on the scene, leaving us unaware of the other sights, sounds, and even smells around us. At the moment, we’re anything but at our best.
These normal human reactions can be reversed. For example, firefighters are taught how to bring down their blood pressure and heart rates quickly, box breathing, belly breathing, hum breathing — you can learn these techniques in minutes. Once you calm down, you’ll identify accurately what the problem is really about. Lack of practice always causes us to judge problems in wrong ways. Doing the thinking ahead of time also helps you fire off the solution when it’s show time. This is why you are advised to find the closest exit before the flight. And sometimes we aren’t prepared with all the knowledge we need. Let’s say we’re on a hike and a bear shows up. What shall we do? Better to read suggestions on how to respond before heading into the wild.
Performing in a crisis is becoming more important for all of us for two reasons. Back in the good old days, the reliability of most anything we used or did was far less than it is today. Now think about what happens to our preparedness as the probability of something had happening reduces. Unless we practice what hardly ever happens, our ability to respond when it does happen tends to slip away. Reliability can kill you. Also, the systems we use today are more complex. There are seldom moving parts in plain view that allow us to see when things are about to go wrong. Consequently, terrible situations can “come out of nowhere”. Ironically, the systems that were designed to lessen our workload might require us to remain in a state of increased vigilance (警觉) in order to survive these increasingly infrequent events when they do happen.
As technology becomes part of most everything, and as once-large risks break into countless small ones, crisis situations may become standard affairs. We should all learn to breathe, recognize the situation, and carry out the plan that we are smart enough to prepare well in advance.
