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 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) programme has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology(技术) will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
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 programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on(取决于) how good the technology is. However, some other programmes may only be 51% correct at present. 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 you in the eye. So smile!
( ) 1. Where has the eye-recognition programme already been tested in a few countries?
A. shops and banks B. shops and schools
C. banks and schools D. schools and hospitals
( ) 2. How does the eye-recognition programme work?
A. You look at the machine and type a number.
B. You need to speak and then look.
C. The machine looks at your eyes.
D. You look at the machine and speak.
( ) 3. We already have machines that can tell who you are from ______.
A. your eyes or your smell
B. your voice or the mark made by your finger
C. your face or your voice
D. your face or your hand
( ) 4. Which of the following doesn’t belong to the advantages of the eye-recognition programme?
A. Your eyes don’t change as you grow older.
B. Eyes don’t get dirty like hands or fingers.
C. Everyone’s eyes are different, even twins have different eyes.
D. We can’t see anything without eyes.

Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity (自动性)”.
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as the first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount(数量)of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
( ) 1. “ Reading is the key to school success” means that reading______.
A. helps school develop faster B. is a key to a successful school
C. helps students go to a key school D. can improve students’ learning results
( ) 2. Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they______.
A. know how to read the words B. do not have to think while reading
C. read by themselves without any help D. pay attention to the meaning of the text
( ) 3. The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “______” in Chinese.
A. 结结巴巴地读 B. 全神贯注地读
C. 心不在焉地读 D. 声情并茂地读
( ) 4. The best title for the passage is “______”.
A. IQ is the Key to the Automaticity B.TV is Bad for Children’s Reading
C. Automaticity Depends on Practice D. Automatic Readers Will Be Successful

Do you have any online classes? It is possible to take classes at home. All you need is a computer and a headset.
However, most students don't seem to like online classes. According to a recent survey, only 33 percent of students would take such classes. Over 1,500 students from 10 cities took the survey.
Many students said it is hard to focus (集中精力) on studying while taking online classes. "There are no classmates, no real teachers watching me. I can surf the Internet or do other things if I want to. It's harder to always stay focused." Lian Ruohan, one of the students said.
Lian prepares a lot before taking her classes to make sure she will pay attention. She also pushes herself to communicate with teachers. Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes.
But Wen Jiayi, 14, at the Yucai Middle School, thinks online teachers don't really get to know her. "When I don't hand in homework, all I get is a short message instead of real concern (关心)." she said.
However, online classes still have other advantages. "It saves time and money compared (和…相比) to taking offline classes. Also, if I don't understand some parts of a lesson, I can watch it over again." Lian said.
How many students took the survey?
What will online teachers do if a student doesn't hand in his homework?
Would you like to take online classes? Why or why not?
