When the man looks at the elephants, he doesn’t know why the elephants just don’t _________ the rope and run away? They can easily do so, but they don’t.
The man wants to know the answer, so he asks one of the trainers _________ it is so.
“When they are very _________ we use the small size of rope to chain them, and at that age, it is just right for them. When they grow up, they still think that they can’t run away. They think the rope can still chain them, so they never think of being _________, the trainer answers.
The man leaves away _________ but feels sorry that these animals can be free if they want, but it is just because over time, they think that they don’t have the _________.
How many of us live like the elephants—thinking we cannot do something just because we fail (失败) at it once or some times before?

Did you forget your password (密码) or your ID? Well, you’ll never forget your face. Using your face as your ID is quick and convenient. You could take the subway or get on the plane with just your face alone. This is how facial recognition (人脸识别) works. It has also been used to catch criminals. The American pop singer Taylor Swift even used the technology to find out the person who did something bad to her at her concerts.
In China, facial recognition systems(系统) have been used in many areas. In Zhengzhou, people can now get on the subway by using facial recognition technology. They just need to connect their online payment systems to the subway’s smartphone app. Students at certain schools can pass through the school’s gates by scanning (扫描) their face.
However, there are no laws to control the use and collection of facial information now, according to Zhao Zhanling, a researcher at the China University of Political Science and Law. Many people are worried about the collection and use of the information by governments and companies. Why is it necessary to collect data about your face and what will the data (数据) be used for? These are some common questions about the facial recognition.
“I feel uncomfortable because I don’t know how the company is using my facial information or whether it will be leaked. If so, my secret information will become known to the public.” Feng Yi, a tourism company worker, said about Zhengzhou’s subway smartphone app. Leaks are a problem that worries people because companies have always failed to protect users’ data. When someone steals your personal information, you can change your bank card and password, but can you change your face when your facial information is stolen?
As facial recognition is used more and more in our daily lives - from schools and subways to street comers and smartphones - we must ask ourselves whether or not this new technology is worth the risk.
1.The example of Taylor Swift is to ________.
A.show the popularity of facial recognition among pop stars
B.introduce tire advantage of facial recognition further
C.describe people’s fears over facial recognition
2.According to Paragraph 2, facial recognition technology can’t be used to ________.
A.pay to take the subway
B.pass through the school’s gates
C.invent an online payment app
3.What does the underlined word “leaked” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.泄露 B.收集 C.拦截
4.From the passage, we know that ________.
A.some laws have been made to control the use of facial information
B.it may be risky to use the new technology according to the writer
C.many people think it necessary to collect data about their face
5.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Your Face Is Your Best ID
B.Wide Use of Facial Recognition Technology
C.Facial Recognition - Progress and Challenge
