A篇
When I was young, I was very naughty. And I often made some trouble. Some people didn’t like me, but I didn’t know the reason until my grandfather took me to the fishpond (养鱼塘) on the farm.
He asked me to throw a stone into the water. I did what I was asked. Then my grandfather told me to watch the waves made by the stone. Moments later, he asked me to think of myself as that stone.
“You may make a lot of splashes (浪花) in your life, but remember the waves that come from those splashes will affect the peace of all your friends beside you.” he said “Remember that you are responsible for what you throw into your circle and that your waves will touch many other circles. Always try to live in a way that allows the good that come from your circle to send the peace of your goodness to other circles. Remember the waves that come from anger and jealousy (嫉妒) will send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for all the waves.” “That was the first time I realized each person creates the inner anger that flows (流) out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we have hatred (仇恨) and anger.”
We show the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we tell them or not. Whatever is inside of us is flowing out into the world and touching all the other circles of life. We must remember that we aren’t single, so we must be responsible for everyone beside us.

B篇
Imagine you’re standing in line to buy a snack at a shop. You step up to the counter and the shop clerk scans (扫描) your food. Next, you have to pay, but instead of scanning a QR Code (二维码) with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the shop clerk can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ears.
Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric (生物特征识别的) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming more and more popular. Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.
When introducing the new iphone’s face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice-president, said, “The chance that a person in the world could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with his face is about one in a million.” But it has already been done. In a video posted on a community website Reddit, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they aren’t even twins.
“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”
Earlier last year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person’s smartphone for the police, according to a tech website Splinter. “It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense (防护).”
1. which is the latest identification technology in a smartphone according to the passage?
A. Face scanning.
B. Eye scanning.
C. QR Code scanning.
D. Fingerprint scanning.
2. What is the major problem of the iPhone X’s face ID system?
A. It takes too long to unlock the phone.
B. It often fails to recognize its owner’s face.
C. Face data can be used for other purposes.
D. Different faces can be used to unlock the same phone.
3. The underlined word “multiple” in the passage means _______ in Chinese.
A. 相同的
B. 多样的
C. 虚拟的
D. 普通的
4. What is Anil Jain’s opinion about biometric security?
A. It is as secure as traditional measures.
B. It is perfect without much improvement.
C. It has caused much trouble for the police.
D. It should be used with other security measures.
5. What does the author want to tell us in this passage?
A. The popularity of biometrics.
B. Security problems of biometrics.
C. Various problems with biometrics.
D. Great changes caused by biometrics.
