Tom tried to find out what his detector(探测器) could do. One day he fixed the little box to a flowering plant that was growing in a pot. He didn’t say anything at all, but he began to have some cruel（残忍的）thoughts.
“I’m going to cut off those flowers, ”he thought. “They are old and ugly.”
(That wasn’t true,because the flowers were young and lovely.) “So I’ll cut them, cut them off...”
The needle（针）on the machine climbed quickly from 0 to 8, then10,12, 15. It stopped at 17. The plant was in trouble! Something was worrying it. Was it fear or sadness? The flowers bent（弯曲）their heads.They suddenly looked old and tired, and Tom felt sorry for them．
“No,no !” he cried.“I won’t cut you. You are my friends.1 just want you to grow and be lovely. I’ll take you outside into the sunshine. You’ll like that, won’t you?”
The flower lifted their heads slowly and seemed to smile at him. The needle returned thankfully to zero. Tom took off the box and put away the lie detector(测谎仪). He picked up the plant in its pot and went outside. It was very nice in the garden that morning.
All plants enjoy their owners’ love, care and kindness. They know whether the sound is kind or not. They also seem to understand people’s thoughts. So if you have flowers of your own, take
good care of them, and think about them with love.They will return your kindness in the only one way they can: they will grow strong and beautiful.

With the day of computer science coming, more and more high technologies appear in our life. Can you distinguish which ones are good, or which ones are bad for our life?
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 numbers 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 the 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 and 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 the other kinds because your eyes won’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.You can see that in the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!

Learning how to learn a language is one of the popular topics（话题）in education at the moment. Everyone has his own way to learn. The best way of learning a language is using it. And one of the good ways of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes you’ll get your words mixed up and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things so quickly that you can’t understand them. But by keeping your sense of humor（幽默感), you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make.
