25、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 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 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 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 have already had 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 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!

Can you climb trees? Maybe your parents ever told you, “Don’t climb trees. It’s d 【1】 .” But Xiamen University is going to have a new class: Tree-climbing.
Zhu Chongshi, the president of Xiamen University, once visited Cornell University in New York, and he was surprised a 【2】 the course there.
In Tree-climbing class, the teachers do not just let the students c 【3】only with their hands. They teach the safety skills like t 【4】 used in rock-climbing. Students wear special caps and clothes to protect t 【5】 . And they use ropes so that they can not f 【6】 and get hurt. The class is very useful. Students are e 【7】 to learn the skills, like swimming in and after class by the teacher. In a time of disaster such as floods, earthquake, etc., such knowledge may make a d 【8】 between life and death.
No classroom subject could ever give them these skills. Students should find and develop their own inborn(与生俱来的) skills and talents. An all-knowing teacher should no longer see the child as an e 【9】 cup and only pour knowledge into it.
I hope climbing trees will w 【10】 up the potential(潜能) in many students.
