Curry around the world
“Curry” is the English word used to describe meat or vegetables in a spicy, usually served with rice. It is believed that the word “Curry” comes from the Tamil word “kari”.
Curries have been very popular dishes in many Asian countries throughout history. Although curry is believed to come originally from India, it has been eaten in many other Asian countries—for thousands of years.
Today, curries are eaten all over the world. This tasty, spicy dish was brought to the West by British people from India in the 17th century.
What we call curry today is an international dish that is well known around the world. Over time and distance, the flavours of dishes change so that the people eating the dish will like it. For example, the most popular curry in restaurants in the UK is called chicken tikka masala. Many British people think this is an Indian dish. However, it is really a dish created by restaurants in the UK and is not a traditional Asian dish at all.
Today curry is loved by people all over the world, unless, of course they don’t like spicy food. （选自《补充习题》九下)

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 have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition(眼睛识别) program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and France. Soon, this technology(技术) will change all 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 or hands or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your fingers.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. 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 Britain, 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 at you in the eye. So smile!
