Technology is changing the face of the world, and now faces are changing technology too. Facial recognition technology, with 【小题1】 (it) capacity to analyses a huge amount of data, has come into widespread use. It works by comparing the facial features of 【小题2】 (give) images with those in a database. It offers a quick and cool alternative【小题3】 traditional passwords, and you cannot forget your own face! In theory, networks which use our own body as passwords should also be 【小题4】 (safe) from hackers and better protect us from identity theft than those that use traditional passwords, mainly because every individual is unique. This technology is especially 【小题5】 (use) in public places: banks, airports and railway stations, to name but a few.

However, facial recognition technology has also started to pose some difficult questions. Experts have been giving 【小题6】 (warn) about this technology, saying it may not be as good as we think. Facial expressions often vary, which makes facial recognition less effective. Moreover, there is growing concern that we might fall victim to this technology, as there are cases in 【小题7】 hackers have broken into facial recognition system by using people's social media 【小题8】 (photo) to build models of their faces.

Scientists and engineers 【小题9】 (urge) to improve existing technology and make it fail-safe. Apparently, this will be a tough task. Whatever happens, we need to make sure that facial recognition technology can be trusted—【小题10】 we will have to face the consequences.

Atlanta International Airport in Georgia, the United States, has become the first in the nation to permit passengers to use facial recognition technology 【小题1】 (get) on flights. The goal of the technology is to 【小题2】 (simple) and speed up the process of presenting documents to get on a flight.

Travelers look into a camera 【小题3】 scans their face. This image is then compared 【小题4】 a collection of pictures scanned from passports and visas kept by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Passengers can begin using the facial recognition system when they first arrive at the airport. After the first check-in, passengers can also use the facial recognition to pass through 【小题5】 (secure) and to get on the plane, saving travelers much time during the usual check-in process.   

The technology, 【小题6】, has raised concerns about privacy. 【小题7】 (early) this year, two U.S. lawmakers sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security. It is urged that official rules 【小题8】 (put) in place before the program is expanded. Most importantly, photos of U.S. citizens from 【小题9】 (it) system must be removed once their 【小题10】 (identity) have been confirmed.

In the Palace Museum, visitors put themselves in an architectural complex full of characteristics of Chinese culture. To improve 【小题1】 (it) capacity for cultural exhibition, communication, tourism services and heritage protection, the Palace Museum made great efforts. It makes use of 【小题2】 (tradition) restoration (修复) techniques and modern science and technology.

With a research team, the Palace Museum has been finding 【小题3】 (variety) ways to protect the heritage. So far, 【小题4】research team has combined 14 types of special monitoring equipment with independent intellectual property rights. The historical risk data is used【小题5】 (study) safety risk assessment index system, risk judgment and early warning systems. After AI was introduced, the museum 【小题6】 (establish) a complete monitoring and response system and an emergency platform for the immovable cultural heritage.

And digital technologies 【小题7】 (apply) by the Palace Museum to protect cultural relics (遗址) several years ago. It has introduced 1.86 million 【小题8】 (piece) of cultural relic information, and has collected 1,500 3D models and high-precision panoramic images (全景图) of all open areas. It brought cultural resources to life and offered better digital services 【小题9】 Internet users. The Palace Museum is truly an amazing example 【小题10】 connects modern and traditional technologies to preserve the cultural heritage.
