21、New App Helps People Remember Faces

Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.

The app, called Social Recall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “ It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody, ” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.

After receiving an invitation to download Social Recall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app’s creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.

The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “ face blindness, ” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.

Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “ there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you. ”

【1】Social Recall is used to ________ .

A．take photos

B．identify people

C．organize events

D．make friends

【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________ .

A．how the app works

B．how the app was created

C．what makes the app popular

D．what people can do with the app

【3】Social Recall helps people with prosopagnosia by________.

A．giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones

B．collecting information previously entered in the phone

C．providing the information of a person when they first meet

D．showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face

【4】What can we infer about Social Recall according to Ann Cavoukian?

A．It may put people’s privacy under threat.

B．It has caused unintended consequences.

C．It can prevent some communication disorders.

D．It is praised by all users for its protective measures.

22、How to Deal with a Friendship Breakup

In an ideal world you would grow old with the people you grow up with, but sometimes it doesn’t happen that way. For various reasons, you may find yourself having to be the one to end the relationship with your best friend. To me, it’s hands down harder than the ending of a romantic connection.【1】

Feel those feelings.

You may find yourself going to call or text that person just from habit. When things happen—good or bad, it will take some time to remember this person is no longer accessible to you, which may bring sadness, hurt, anger, confusion, etc.【2】The breakup with your best friend won’t be any different.

【3】

If you were the one “dumped(抛弃)”, how could you have been a better friend? Pay attention to the things that caused your relationship to end, and then do the work to save it or prevent other friendships from going down the same road.

Delete and block.

It’s attractive to see what’s happening in someone’s life, especially someone who has been a large part of your life for so long.【4】The delete and block buttons are your greatest assets(资产).

【5】It can take weeks or years to adapt to life changing circumstances. But I have found, that as you accept things for what they are, there is an overwhelming sense of peace that eventually washes over you.

A．There is no timeline on grief.

B．Suddenly there is a change in your schedule.

C．Decide why you want to break it off.

D．So how exactly do you grieve(悲伤) or move past “the other breakup”?

E．Reflect on your contributions to the ending of your relationship.

F．All those feelings are natural when a relationship of any kind ends.

G．But until you’re healed, removing them from social media platforms is necessary.

23、My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local store. I don’t think many people appreciate what a difficult job these clerks have. They work for a little money and I often wonder how they make ends meet.

One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day. I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was clear that he was having a difficult time.

We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for help with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was touched by our idea so that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!

It was so wonderful to see Charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I’m sure that upon hearing his story, ideas of kindness may have come in the minds of many people.

【1】Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?

A. It was very warm and fine.

B. His glasses were missing.

C. His old glasses were broken.

D. He forgot to wear his glasses.

【2】From the passage, we can infer that ______.

A. Charlie was a young man with skills

B. Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses

C. Charlie completely accepted the money for the new glasses

D. Charlie couldn’t support his family with enough money

【3】The underlined word “waived” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.  waive

A. took up   B. gave up

A. Customers’ Gift to an Employee

B. A Friendly Clerk — Charlie 

C. The Wonderful Feeling of Helping others

D. An Expensive Pair of Glasses
