【题目】

A British girl, Taryn Everdeen, has just finished writing a novel（小说）with her favorite writer, Carolyn Meyer, even though she is 66 years younger than her.

Taryn was only 15 years old, when she first wrote a fan letter to a 81-year-old Carolyn Meyer, to give thanks for her historical novels.

“Carolyn was one of my favorite writers. I grew up reading her books. When I was nine or ten, I would listen to her stories every night…That made me fall in love with history,” says Taryn.

Taryn, who is from Norwich, England, was then surprised when Carolyn wrote back and suggested writing a novel together.

Carolyn is an American writer who writes novels for children and young people. She has published（出版）over 60 children books, but she has never wanted to work with another writer until she got Taryn's letter.

Three years ago, after Taryn wrote to her, Carolyn invited the young girl to stay with her in the US, so they could write a novel together. They decided（决定）to write a time-traveling story. They sent ideas to each other by email. Carolyn also visited Taryn last year, and Taryn flew to the US over the summer, after she finished her school exams.

They now have a first draft（初稿）of "Mirror of Time". They decide to give it to some publishers and hope they will be interested in it.

"This is my first try at writing a novel. We have been working on it for three years. It's amazing, " says Taryn. And I have never met anyone like her. "She seems much younger than her age. I think she is a really powerful role model（有影响力的榜样）. She's my teacher, and my work partner, but I see her as a friend more than anything else."

Taryn, now 18 years old, returns from the USA this week. She wants to have a gap year（间隔年）before starting university next year.

“We worked hard, but we did other things together, too. While I was there, we went to a few theatre shows, and we went on a journey to Taos, staying in a hotel overnight there."

"She's very open, and I can talk to her about pretty much all the things I talk to my other friends about,” she says. "She has taught me how to be a better writer."

【题目】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 the number of your credit card 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 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 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 you in the eye. So smile!

【1】The program has been tested in shops and banks in .

A. America and China B. Spain and Japan

C. Britain and Turkey D. Italy and German

【2】According to the steps in Paragraph 3, which picture shows how the eye recognition happens?
