They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and having fun. But in one special program in New York, adults and teenagers live together in peace.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works for several hours each day. The purpose of this program is not just to keep busy. It is also to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work on the farms near the village. Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills. There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free time, some of the teenagers learn photography and painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are always necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the whole group will discuss the problem. They ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience, “You dont only think about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”( ) 26.

So in the future you wont have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. Youll 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 （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 dont change as you get older, and dont 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 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!( ) 31.
