It can tell us what time of day we are best able to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal.When it comes to the human brain, many people work best later in the morning.

35、s time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help speed this up.But everyones body clock is different. Morning people will rise early and work better early in the day. Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better toward the end of the day.Research show

36、s that were better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so its better to exercise later in the day.Between noon and 4 pm, people are getting tired.

So in the future you wont have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a ban

41、k. 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 will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are. Eye

42、-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 ones 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 (

43、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 (识别), and he will take out the money from the bank successfully. However, scientists are also working on other systems.

44、 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 dont change as you get older, and dont

45、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

46、 liked the idea of eye-recognition. In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye.

52、to remember. On the other hand , Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some famous people often change their names because they want names that are not o

53、rdinary, or that have special sound. They chose the “new names ” for themselves instead of the names their parents gave them when they were born.Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaim

54、ing changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.In many countries , a woman changes her family

55、 name to her husbands after she got married. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husbands.
