Soon computer 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 is tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and Italy.

Scientists are working on other systems, such as knowing you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! And machines can already tell who you are from your voice or your fingerprint (指纹). But eye-recognition will replace other ways of finding out who you are. It is better, 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 how good the technology is. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.

62. How does the eye-recognition program work?

第三节：写 作（共1题，满分20分） One possible version：

Smile is an attitude to life. We should face everything with smile.

In our life, there may be something unpleasant. For example, you fail in an exam; or you are misunderstood by your friends. These things may make you feel bad. Then what will you do? Why not learn to smile? Smiling to yourself can bring back your confidence and beat the unhappy feelings. Sometimes, the greatest enemy is yourself. Most important of all, smiling benefits your health.

We should also learn to smile to others, and it will help us to get closer to other people. Therefore, smile is the most widely understood language.

Let?s learn to smile. I believe our world will be more wonderful and our life will be happier and happier.
