27、 unless it hears its owners voice could become an important weapon in the fight against fraud(欺骗).The card using a built-in voice-recognition chip requires users to give a spoken password that it recognizes.

28、 engineers at in California packs a microphone, a loudspeaker, a battery and a voice-recognition chip into a standard-sized credit card. The card is the length and width of an ordinary credit card but about three times as thick. The company now plans to make it thinner.The voice card is based on an

29、earlier Beepcard technology designed to prevent fraud in online deals. The Beepcard has no microphone, but has a built-in loudspeaker to utter an audible(听得见的) ID signal via a computers microphone to an online server(服务器). By confirming that the signal matches the information in the card, the server

30、 can make sure that the user is not simply keying in a credit card number but actually has the card in his hand. The ID code, which only the server knows, changes each time the card is used.

31、en they key in the details later. But this earlier Beepcard technology cannot prevent illegal use of stolen cards. The new voice card can. The new voice card also doesnt identify itself by its ID until it has confirmed the real users spoken password. The voice-recognition credit card is powered by a

32、 mini-battery. To extend battery life, the electronics have only to be switched on when the card is being used. Pressing a button on the cards surface allows one to hear a female voice saying, “Say your password.” If the voice-recognition software proves that the password is real, it sends its ID, w

36、wn and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise-and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northernJapanappeared to b

37、e losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues atTokyoNationalUniversity, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enable

38、d the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect(智能)and emotion, and determine the human character. (As we all know, the rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contra

39、ct with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side parts-as cells die off-was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there i

40、s a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age-using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors.

41、 White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fr

47、ace, human personality is very complex. But describing someones personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. _38_But if you were asked to describe a“nice person,”you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words t

In fact, the words“person”and“personality”come from the Latin persona, meaning“mask.”Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. _40_A. If you were asked to describe what a“n
