The programme works because everyones eyes are different. 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（识别）programme is already being 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. However, scientists are 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, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94 correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programmes may only be right 51 of the time. 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!58. How does the eye-recognition programme work? A. You write your number. B. You show your ID card. C. You look at the machine. D. You say your name.59. Why can the programme be up to 94 correct? A. Because eyes never change. B. Because hands or fingers can get dirty. C. Because people like the idea of the programme. D. Because the programme is widely used around the world. 60. Which of the following is true? A. The programme is being tested in Japan. B. Machines with other systems can also tell who you are. C. 91 of people like the idea of the programme. D. Computers can remember you by looking at your clothes.61. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. Introduction to some kinds of programmes. B. Introduction to the eye-recognition programme.C. The way how the eye-recognition programme works. D. The places where the eye-recognition programme is tested.DA group of people tasted the sweetness, saltiness, and crunchiness(松脆) as well as the overall taste of food while listening to different noises. Louder noises reduced the reported sweetness or saltiness of food while increasing the measure of crunchiness.It may go some way to explain why airline food is widely complained about by both the workers and passengers. Andy Woods, a researcher, said, “Its a general opinion that plane foods arent fantastic, but Im sure airlines do their best, so we wondered if there were other reasons. One thought was that perhaps the background noise may have an effect. NASA gives their space explorers very strong-tasting foods, because for some reason, they cant taste food that stronglyagain, it may have something to do with the background noise.”In a study, 48 people were fed sweet foods or salty ones, while listening to nothing or noise through earphones. Meanwhile they rated(划分等级) the foods. In noisier settings, foods were rated less salty or sweet than they were when it was silent, but were rated crunchier. “The evidence shows that if the background noise is loud, your attention might be drawn to that, away from the food.” Dr. Woods said.“We are still at an early stage of proceedings(进程) and this is a rather small study to really draw definitive(最完整可靠的) conclusions from,” Dr Woods said, “but they suggest that restaurants could well adapt (使适合) their choice of food for a given environment.”Also in the groups findings there is the suggestion that the overall satisfaction with the food is also related to the degree to which people like what they are hearing.62. How does the food taste when it is eaten in a noisy environment?A. Sweeter and saltier.B. Less salty but crunchier.C. Sweeter but less crunchy.D. Less sweet and crunchy.63. Why does NASA give their space explorers very strong-tasting foods?A. Foods become less tasty in space.B. The explorers lose their sense of taste in space.C. Loud noises in space may weaken the explorers sense of taste.D. The explorers need tastier foods to keep energetic in space.64. According to the research, if you eat while listening to loud music, _.A. you will eat less than usualB. you will find the music beautifulC. your food may taste more deliciousD. you may turn your attention to the music65. What would be the best title for the text?A. The best dinner environment B. How to change plane foodsC. Listening to music while eatingD.
