New security camera can “see” through clothes

New technology that can “ see ” through clothing and detect what ’ s underneath can now be used to scan crowds, making it a potentially effective tool to prevent terrorist attacks in public places.

The Thru Vision T5000 camera picks up Terahertz rays ，or T-rays, which are naturally sent out by all objects and can pass through clothes or even walls. The camera can then detect metallic and nonmetallic objects hidden under clothing on still or moving subjects without showing any body detail.

While similar technology is seen at airports around the world, the T5000 is designed to be used in large, open areas. With a range of 25 meters, the T5000 can screen people in public places, thus avoiding bottle-necks at border crossing or security checkpoints. It also means people can be screened without knowing it.

The technology develops from British astronomers ’ work in studying dying stars. Astronomers use T-ray cameras to see through dust and clouds in space. The company sees uses for its camera at other sites where political or business activities take place.

For privacy concerns，Thru Vision Chief Executive Clive Beattie said the image produced by the camera did not show detailed parts of the body. ” It's almost a shining light bulb(灯泡）.“ Beattie said. "You don' t see the detail that people might be concerned about. “ In London' s busy Piccadilly Circus—which is already filled with closed -circuit surveillance (监视）cameras— reaction to the new technology was mixed. Some said the camera was going too far and violating privacy，but others said they are willing to put safety before privacy concerns. “ There ’ s surveillance everywhere anyway, “ said one commuter. “I don' t think it’ s much of a difference. I don' t care that they can see through me because they can see me anyway.“

Some experts said the privacy violation of the camera was not worth the benefit. “ What we should consider is how much we want to lose our privacy in order to obtain a sort of national security，” said David Murakami Wood，director of the Surveillance Studies network，which deals with surveillance and privacy problems. “ In most cases this isn' t real security—it ’ s a sense of safety that has very little real effect. ”

What can we learn about T5000?

A. It can detect metallic and nonmetallic objects underneath.

B. It can see through clothing or walls by sending out T-rays.

C. It was first used to observe stars by astronomers.

D. It is widely used at airports around the world.

What is the most probable purpose of the new invention?

A. To improve people ’ s life standard. B. For scientific research.

C. For commercial benefits. D. For safety reasons.

Which is most probably the opinion of people on using the new camera?

A. Some agree to its use as it is new technology to protect privacy.

B. Some agree to its use because safety is the most important.

C. Some don' t agree to its use because it makes no difference.

D. Some people don' t care because they know little about it.

What' s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Safety is more important than privacy.

B. T5000 is more beneficial than harmful.

C. T5000 does not really provide security.

D. It's not worth giving up privacy for safety.

If you have been joining in chat room conversations, or trading email with web pals （网友） , you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.

And you’ve got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF （= sense of humor failure） to describe Internet newcomers who don’t understand you.

Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking online”, many of them all talking at the same time.

It’s fast: try talking to six people at once．It’s brief: three or four words per exchange．It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.

And it requires tremendous linguistic economy （语言省略）．There’s neither time nor space for explanations．Why consume precious key-strokes （键盘敲击） telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB（ = be right back） will do?

Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI （= pardon me for jumping in）.

Interested in whom you are talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal’s age, sex and location．You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.

If something makes you laugh, say you are OTF （= on the floor）, or LOL （= laughing out loud）, or combing the two into ROTFL （ = rolling on the floor laughing） .

And when it is time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG （= got to go） or TTYL （=talk to you later）.

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can．Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes, more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals．Punctuation （标点） is going, too．

Many people talk on the Internet ______.

A．by sending short emails

B．by using a particular short form of English

C．by using peculiar English words and expression

D．in a funny way

In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet ______.

A．you have to speak fast and fluently

B．you should speak with wit and humor

C．you have to express your ideas in a brief way

D．one should pay much attention to the accuracy of words

If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means______.

A．the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine

B．you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York

C．you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York

D．the person who you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl

To save time on the Internet, __________.

A．some people leave their letters in the dustbin

B．some people never use “shift” in their writing

C．many people leave the capital and punctuation

D．people seldom use capital letters or punctuation

Let’s think about how to enjoy a Zero Waste Christmas．By sending recyclable cards，we can help our friends and family reduce waste．And what better way to enjoy the spirit of Christmas than with a real tree that can be replanted in the spring?
Going Zero Waste requires us to think more about what happens before and after we act．It takes ambition，and it's not always easy．But just think how good it would be，both for ourselves and for the environment, if we never had to waste anything．
