A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had    36  to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well    37  it, so he  told him that a sports car was all he wanted.
  Then on the morning of his graduation(毕业),he was called to his father's room. His father told him how    38  he was to have such a fine son, and told him how   39  he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box.  40 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible(圣经)with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his   41  to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible? " He then   42  out of the house, leaving the Bible.
  Many years passed and the young man was very    43  in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family.    44  that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him    45  that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a    46  telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take   47  of the things that his father left him.
  When he began to search through his father's important papers, he saw the still new Bible,     48  as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to   49   the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag(标牌)dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the   50  of his graduation, and the words "PAID IN FULL". Sadness and regret(悔恨)filled his heart.

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme 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 programme is already being 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.
However, scientists are 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, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programmes may only be right  51% of the time. 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!
