Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme works because everyone's eyes are different. So in the future you won't have to remember a password 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.
五、阅读理解(B篇)
The eye-recognition programme has already been tested in shops and banks in the US, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon, this technology will take the place of 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 for one's iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to draw
money, this machine will have iris feature extraction （特征抽取）. 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 get 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, hand or even your smell! We've already had
machines that can tell who you are from your voice or your fingerprints. Eye-recognition is better 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. This programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, other programmes may only be 51%
correct now. In Britain, it was found that 90% of the people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
In the future, your computer will look at you in the eyes. So smile!
