Soon computers 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 has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of(取代)all other ways of finding out who people are.

Eye-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 one's iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out of money, this machine will have iris feature extraction(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, and he will take out of the money from the bank successfully.

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 don't change as you get older, and don't 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(科技)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 liked the idea of eye-recognition.

In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!

Of all the things we eat and drink，water is the1important. The human body can go2 food for a long time，but two3three days without water could make people4.
A lot of people don't understand how5water the human body needs6well and many people don't drink enough，especially in7weather. Most people drink8they are thirsty but in fact they need more water，especially when they take9.
A man's body is 65 to 75 percent of10. If we don't have enough water. We fell tired and may become ill.

    For years scientists have been arguing about whether nature or nurture (后天) decides what people will be like. Is it nature— what people are 1 with— that decides what they will be like? 2 is it nurture —what3to people when they are born —that decides what they will be like?
    Scientists have been studying twins to 4 if they can find the answer, because twins start out with the 5DNA. Sometimes twins don't live together at birth and grow up in different 6and different places— so the nature is the same for both, but the nurture is different.
    When scientists7 these twins in their later life, they some times find some surprising 8.
Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted（收养）by two different families at birth. They first met each other again thirty-nine years 9and discovered they had a lot in 10. Both had been 11twice. Their first wives were both named Linda and their second wives were both named Betty!
    Each twin had a son — one called his son James Alan and the 12 called his son James Alan, too. Their children each had a dog called “Toy”. They even arrived at their first 13in the same color of car.
    So far twin14seem to show that both nature and nurture are important. What we have from birth, and how and where we live help to build 15 we are.

    We sometimes call the lion “the king of the jungle (丛林)” because it is stronger and more dangerous than other animals. It can run faster than many animals and it can hunt (捕猎) the best. It is the highest animal in the 1 food chain (食物链).
    In the sea, the shark is one of the animals at the 2 of the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals, and it can use its big teeth to eat them.
    What is at the top of the world's food chain?3 are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the 4 We could not run faster than cheetahs (猎豹), so we5 cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not 6 better than lions, so we invented guns (枪). Now we can hunt the best.
    People's inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, people invented 7, and now they make the air and rivers dirty. This can make 8 changes. Dirty rivers kill fish. Then bears cannot eat the fish and the bears die. If we kill one part of the food chain, 9 also die. Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger too! If we protect animals, we are protecting 10! We should and we could do something for the world!
