Soon a computer and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!
The program can work because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a long code when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You 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 is being tested in some shops and banks. Soon this technology will change all the other ways of recognition.
We have already had machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your fingers. Scientists are working on other systems (系统). Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hands or even your smell!
But eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. In Britain it was found that 91% of the 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 eyes. So smile!

In the 1790s, a Frenchman invented the world’s first bicycle. It had no pedals, so people had to use feet to ride it. It also had no handlebars, so people couldn’t steer it-they could just go straight (径直地) ahead.
In 1817, Baron Karl, from Germany, invented a new kind of bike. The bicycle had a seat, two wheels and handlebars. But it had no pedals, either. Again, people would use their feet and push while the wheels were moving on the ground.
In 1870, the Englishman James Starley made a bicycle with a large front wheel and a small back wheel. The front wheel was as high as the rider’s leg length. Such bicycles were dangerous because if riders were to stop, they could fall back. Also, it was dangerous to go down a hill.

When we think of paper, we think of newspapers and books. But there are many other uses. Only half of the world's paper is used for books and newspapers.
Paper is very good for keeping you warm. You have perhaps seen homeless men sleep on a large number of newspapers. In Finland, it is sometimes-40℃ in winter. The farmers wear paper boots(靴子)in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.
Each year, more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups and plates for a long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper. Besides paper boots and shoes, you can wear paper hats, paper dresses, and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you may throw them away and buy new ones.
The latest use of paper seems to be paper houses. These are not small houses for children to play in, but real, big houses for people to live in. You can buy a house with three rooms for about 500 dollars. You can put it up by yourself in a few hours, and you can use it for about five years.
