21、The children grow vegetables and take care of animals, but they are not playing “Farmville(开心农场)” online. Students at Gateway International School have started farming a small piece of land in the school. The students in the school are from different countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines.

“To make the children self－reliant and develop friendship between children from different countries, we asked them to grow vegetables. They were excited about the idea，” said Grace Alwyn, the head teacher of the school. “They give part of the harvest to us and we cook it for them. We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables planted by the children. This will also teach them the importance of money.”

The students are also encouraged to keep pets. They feed the animals in the morning and check on them through the day. It's a good way for them to learn to be responsible.

23、   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.

B.Introduction to the eye-recognition program.

C.The way how the eye-recognition program works.

D.The places where the eye-recognition program is tested.

24、Dear Mom,

I don’t think you understand my life. You think I should be studying all the time. I know you want me to find a good job when I grow up , but I would like to have a good time, too. You never think about fun things for me to do like music and sports. Two days ago, when I was watching a football game on TV , you asked me to stop and do my homework. After finishing my homework, still I wasn’t allowed (允许) to read my football magazines. You said I had to go to bed early. That was bad enough, but yesterday was the worst day. I bought some music CDs, and put them in my bag so that you wouldn’t see them. I told you I had to do my homework first. I know it was wrong to lie (说谎)to you, but you told me that Dad would talk to me later. Mom, I didn’t quite like what you did to me! I really love you, Mom, but I hope you won’t be so hard on me.

Love,

David
