21、Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you.

Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t try to talk about something with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t listen to you if you are shouting at them. Go somewhere else to cool off. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you think you can’t speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter to them.

Try to understand your parents. Your parents may think differently from you. Tell your parents what you think, what you care about and why. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. Put yourself in their shoes and you may find a better way out.

Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to an agreement. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

It is also important to show your love to your parents. Try to do some small things at home, like making them a cup of tea, helping do some chores, and so on. It helps to keep your relationship closer. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.

22、   Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program 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) program 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 (系统). 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, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs 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 at you in the eye. So smile!

【1】How does the eye-recognition program work?

A.You write your number. B.You show your ID card.

C.You say your name. D.You look at the machine.

【2】How many ways will machines be able to know you soon?

A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Five.

【3】Why can the program be up to 94% correct?

A.Because eyes never change. B.Because hands or fingers can get dirty.

C.Because people like the idea of the program. D.Because the program is widely used around the world.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The program is being tested in Japan.

B.Machines with other systems can also tell who you are.

C.91% of people like the idea of the program.

D.Computers can remember you by looking at your clothes.

【5】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A.Introduction to some kinds of programs.

23、I work at a university in the US where my team and I are trying to learn more about the American black duck, a kind of water bird. And now we are using an exciting piece of equipment (设备) called a “night vision scope”. By using it, we can see the ducks in the dark.

We’re worried about black ducks mainly because their numbers are falling hugely. And we don’t know whether there’s enough food on the east coast for these birds. There’s lots of information about their daytime activities, but nothing about what they do at night, because we simply don’t have the equipment. But this new “scope” will make really clear pictures, even on moonless nights, so we will be able to find out more about the ducks.

It is very hard work. There are four of us, and we each work six hours every day. We study ducks in different places, and I sometimes have to take a boat to where I need to work. The weather is not helpful because most of the time it’s wet. Oh, and it’s so quiet that sometimes I need coffee to stop me falling asleep.

But I like this job. Over the summer, we will spend hours in a laboratory, where we will look at our results together. It will be hard to stay there every day because of the hot weather — but it is very important to do this!
