One night, a little swallow(燕子) flew over the city. He was very tired and wanted to have a good sleep in the city. When he saw the Statue(雕像) of the Happy Prince, he flew down and got ready to sleep between the feet of the Happy Prince.
Just as he was putting his head under his wing, some water fell on him. He thought it was raining. But when he looked up, he found the sky was so clear and bright that he could see lots of stars. Suddenly, he saw some tears(眼泪) were running down the Prince’s golden face.
“Why are you crying?” asked the swallow. “In a little street, there’s a poor house. From one of the windows, I see a woman sitting at a table. She’s sewing(缝) clothes for rich women to wear. On a bed in the corner of the room, her little boy is sick. He’s asking for oranges, but his mother has only water to give him, so he is crying. The boy is so thirsty and the mother is so sad. Little swallow, will you please take her the jewel(珠宝) from the top of my sword(宝剑)?” “It is very cold here and I am leaving for a warm place, but I will stay with you and do as you ask.” The swallow took the bright red jewel from the Prince’s sword and flew away with it in his mouth. He flew into the woman’s room and put it beside the woman’s needle(针).
After he flew back, he told the Prince what he had done. “It’s strange,” he added, “It’s so cold but I feel quite warm now.”
“That’s because you have done a good thing,” said the Prince. The little swallow began to think about this, and then he fell asleep.

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 will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris (虹膜), which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have iris feature extraction (采集). Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified, and he will take out the money from the bank successfully.
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 have already had 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 now. 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!

Painting and writing on walls is nothing new. In prehistoric (史前的) times, people in Africa and Europe painted pictures of animals and people in caves. Graffiti has been found at ancient sites in Greece, Italy, Syria and Iraq. In the Roman town of Pompeii in Italy, archaeologists found a lot of graffiti written in Latin, including political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells!
In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or “tags”, on walls around the city. One of the first “taggers” was Demetrius, a teenager from a Greek family. He wrote his tag on walls in his neighbourhood and in subway stations on the way to school. Other teenagers saw Demetrius’s tag and started writing their own tags on walls, buses and subway trains all over New York. Then, some teenagers stopped using pens and started using paints. Their tags were bigger and more colourful and appeared on trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started to make pictures too.
In many countries, it is a crime to paint on walls and street artists can have problems with the police. In other countries, street art is permitted in certain places. Nowadays, street art is more popular with the public. In some cities, there are street art festivals. In Bristol in the UK, there is a street art festival in August every year. Artists paint all the buildings in a street. Lots of people come to watch the artists and take photos. Street art can be seen in galleries (美术馆) too. There have been exhibitions of street art in galleries in Paris, London and Los Angeles.
Most street artists are young people who paint in their neighbourhood or home city. Many of them use the Internet to communicate and share photos of their pictures with other street artists around the world. Although we don’t know what will happen to street art in the future, we can be sure that it is here to stay!
