Around the world,facial recognition(FR人脸识别)has slowly become a part of our daily life.

After helping people to make payments and open bank accounts,FR now is used in the subway of Zhengzhou,Henan Province. FR was introduced in September and now it can be used by passengers who link their online payment systems to the subway's smartphone app. China Daily reports that other cities in China,including Beijing,are testing a similar system.

It's not hard to see why. FR technology could help speed up security (安全) checks greatly. Yuan Xiaoqin,a park manager in Hangzhou,told CCTV the reason why the park upgraded (升级) its entry system,"FR can help a visitor enter the park in two or three seconds. Fingerprint information sometimes isn't sensitive (灵敏的),especially when the fingers are injured or too dry." Before,the park used a fingerprint entry system.

However,there are some problems with the use of FR. Some people are afraid that their personal information will be leaked.

In fact,sometimes people can refuse the app if they don't want their facial information disclosed (暴露),but sometimes people don't have a choice.

China is the home of tea, which has more than 4000 years of history. People all over China drink tea daily. Of the three main drinks—tea, coffee and cocoa, tea is drunk by the largest number of people in the world. Tea from China, along with silk and porcelain (瓷器),began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export (出口商品) since then.

The world for tea in different languages came from the Chinese character, “cha”. The English word, “tea”, sounds similar to the pronunciation of it in Xiamen, Fujian Province. The Russians call it “chai’i”, which sounds like “chaye”(tea leaves) as it is pronounced in northern China. The Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese, though it is pronounced a little differently.

Tea leaves are produced mainly in the south of China, because of the mild (温和的) climate (气候) and rich soil (土壤) there. Longjing , Pu’er, Wulong and Tieguanyin are all famous tea. They’re produced in the provinces of Zhejiang, Yunnan and Fujian.

Over the past centuries, Chinese people have developed their unique (独特的) tea culture, which includes tea planting, tea-leaf picking, tea making, tea drinking, and so on. Tea is also a popular theme which is often mentioned in dances, songs, poems and novels.
