As infants, we can recognize our mothers within hours of birth. In fact, we can recognize the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of our mother's face well before we can recognize her body shape. It's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} how the brain can carry out such a function at such a young age, especially since we don't learn to walk and talk until we are over a year old. By the time we are adults, we have the ability to distinguish around 100,000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood, but research around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain and processes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} for facial recognition.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA), which is used only for facial recognition. This means that recognition of familiar objects such as our clothes or cars, is from {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in the brain. Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole face for recognition to take place. It had been {#blank#}7{#/blank#} thought that we only needed to see certain facial features. Meanwhile, research at University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process, but {#blank#}8{#/blank#} involves three steps. The first step appears to be an analysis of the physical features of a person's face, which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries. In the next step, the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already known or unknown to us. And finally, the brain furnishes the information we have collected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex {#blank#}9{#/blank#}is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations.

—I guess so. It's not difficult after all.

Why Bike Theft Is Not Taken Seriously?

    For many people a bicycle is the only transport they can afford and it is very convenient for them to use. Therefore, the impact of the loss of their bike can be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. But why is cycle theft so often seen as a minor crime?

    According to the police, 96,210 bikes were stolen in 2018, and about one in 50 bicycle-owning households fall {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to cycle theft each year. Those who can afford a second bike might have a "beater", a cheap bike they leave in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} areas, and can afford to lose — but those who cannot make both ends meet, and live below the poverty line will find themselves cornered by bike theft.

    According to a survey for Bike Register, 50% of victims felt police didn't investigate the crime, while those {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in cycle theft see it as low risk in terms of being caught. Police recover just 3% of stolen bikes. In fact, the problem is almost certainly much greater: People often don't report it thinking there's nothing the police can do, so the full {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of the problem remains hidden.

    Cycle crime hotspots were identified as Cambridge, Oxford, Southampton, Bristol, etc. Most cycle thefts occur near or in people's homes, but thieves also {#blank#}6{#/blank#} transport hubs (中心，枢纽) and university campuses. In the meantime, the police have come up with a way to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the issue. Training 23 officers in regional cycle crime taskforces is part of a national cycle crime strategy, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} with measures like education on safe locking techniques, working with websites where more than half of stolen bikes are sold, and identifying cycle theft {#blank#}9{#/blank#} and priorities.

    If a bike is stolen, there is about a 20% chance the victim will not replace it, losing their transport, exercise, and potential access to local communities and service. It is widely accepted that police's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} effort is fundamental to a drop in cycle theft.
