Can you remember a face quickly and never forget it? If so, then you could be a super recognizer.

Usually it is easy for someone to recognize the faces of their family members and friends. But it could be difficult for them to remember faces that they have only seen once. However, studies have found that super recognizers have amazing face recognition skills. They can remember at least 80 per cent of faces they have ever seen. According to the Daily Mail, at least one in 50 people are super recognizers.

A study was carried out in Bournemouth University of UK recently. Researchers tried to find whether super recognizers have a different way to remember faces. They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person's nose. They also found that these people are not smarter than others. Their super ability is restricted(有限的) only to face recognition.

Another important finding is that there are two subtypes(子類型) of super recognition. Some never forget faces. But for some, if you show pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people. In fact, many super recognizers say they are very good at recognizing faces in a crowd.

These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint. Super recognizers could also help police find known troublemakers and even missing people in the crowd.

Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.

So how? The cars have sensors（感應(yīng)器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems（衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.

Sound like your idea of heaven（天堂）? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving’ would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.

However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I’d miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?

I’m not certain I’d want a driverless car – but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and popular on our roads.

1.When using a driverless car, you need only .

A. read the road signs carefully B. check the cameras

C. put the address into the computer D. remember the directions

2.The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.

A. instructions B. standards C. advantages D. tests

3.The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means “ “.

A. possibly B. successfully C. especially D. naturally

4.What’s the writer’s opinion about future driverless cars?

A. They’ll cause more accidents. B. They’ll be less expensive.

C. They’ll use less energy. D. They’ll run much faster.

“What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fright.

“Keep quiet! There’s someone downstairs.”

“It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 form the robbery(搶劫)?”
