  When I was at University ， T studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very little work. Some did just enough to pass exams. Others didn't do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking in the Students' Union than working in the library.

  Once at the end of a term,we had to take an important test on chemistry. The test had a hundred questions. Beside each question we had to write "True" or "False". While I was studying in my room the night before the test,Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan. "It's very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. I'll take a coin into the examination room. I haven't studied my chemistry book for months,so I'll just toss the coin. That way,I'm sure I'll get half the questions right."

  The next day ， Fred came happily into the exam room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour,he marked down his answers. Then he left,half an hour before the rest of us.

  The next day,he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor. "Good morning,sir," he said. "Have you got the result of the test?" The professor looked at him and smiled, "Ah， it's you,Fred Baines. Just a minute. ” Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air,caught it in his hand and looked at it.

 Is there someone you hate? Well,maybe you don't really hate them,but you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don't let this anger go,it can turn into bitterness(痛苦).

  Bitterness appears when we can't forgive(原諒)someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. And instead of resolving(化解)the anger,we keep it deep inside. Before long,a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we're hurting that person by criticizing(指責)him or her often,but we're really only hurting ourselves.

But in the end,bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back,and the other person will go on with his or her life.

  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 a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You'll just look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.

  The eye-recognition(眼睛識別)program is already being tested in shops and banks in USA,Britain,Spain,Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.

And even twins have different eyes,so the program can be up to 94% correct,depending on how good the technology is. Some programs may only be right 51% of the time. In Britian,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. 

(   ) 1. What will the program for remembering eyes be used for?

D.     You look at the machine.

(   ) 3. Which recognition program is already in use?

A. Remembering eyes and smell. B. Remembering fingers or voices.

C. Remembering faces and voices. D. Remembering hands and faces. 

(   ) 4. What problems could there be with the eye-recognition program?

 Should calligraphy(書法)be taught at school?

  Although we are in an information age and most things can be found or done on computers ， still we should go back to handwriting by using a brush and ink. Some people think students should study calligraphy at school. Calligraphy is part of our old culture. It dates back to early times. Traditional calligraphy is well worth learning. Chinese need to carry on with it. What's more,calligraphy is fine art,more than writing. Written Chinese is well known for its beauty. For example,every stroke(筆畫)of a character shows richness,feeling,energy and so on. Even foreigners enjoy looking at it for its beauty. If you are good at it,it is certainly a way of self-cultivation (陶冶自我).It often helps build up one's personality. Are you going to learn it soon? 

(   ) 1. Our time is called an information age. 

(   ) 2. Calligraphy is part of Chinese culture. 

(   ) 3. There is nothing in Chinese writing. 

(   ) 4. Only foreigners enjoy the beauty of calligraphy.

(   ) 5. The writer thinks that calligraphy should be taught at school.
