Soon computers and other machines(机器)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．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, and don’t 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 you in the eye．So smile!

I didn't think the passion(激情)was important for my life until that day．
One day I went out with my mum．I was bored．Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye．It was a man wearing old clothes．He was homeless．That didn't interest me, for I had seen many like him before．
But in some way he was different．This man was not sad to sit there．He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music．The radio seemed to be the most important thing．
“Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought he's homeless?” I asked．
“He bought it,” she answered．I was still puzzled．
“But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need．”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important things．We need happiness, too．”
That man must care enough about music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes．I soon realized that happiness is the key to life．Without it, there's nothing to look forward to．A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going．We all need a passion．
