When a person walks, the movement of his head, trunk, hipbones and limbs are all reflected in changes in his body. A computer     1     these changes into a database. Later, the computers can     2     identify him according to these changes. This is a new biological identification method and it can quickly identify an examinee     3     disturbing him. It's especially suitable for use in airports and supermarkets.

     Everybody's voice is     4    . When a person's voice is recorded by an instrument, its voice frequency spectrum is called his sound print. Like a fingerprint, everybody's sound print is different. How can computers     5     his sound? First, his voice is recorded, which allows the computers to become familiar with his voice. It will then turn his sound characteristics into a     6     of digits. These digits represent the frequency, pitch and rhythm of the person’s voice. These are the     7     on which the computers can distinguish¹ his voice from     8    .

     When that person needs to be identified, after he says only one word or two, the computers can identify him. The computers can even identify sounds coming     9    the wires. This will provide a     10     guarantee to electric banks and electric purchases.

     We often bring ID cards², work cards, or driver licenses with us to prove our identity. If all these cards are forgotten or lost, how can we prove     11     we are? In fact, it's not difficult to prove whom you are, because your body     12     has identifying markers. Some are physiological features, such as fingerprints, sounds, facial types and eye color. The computer can help to identify you. Suppose your features have already been stored in the database³. To identify you, we have to take your picture with a camera and send it to a computer for     13    . First, the computer needs to reposition this picture according to the position of your eyes⁴, and then starts to read the message of your physiological features such as the     14     of your pupil⁵ to the whites of your eyes⁶ and the shape of his nose. Next, it seeks matching records from the database. Finally, it makes a     15    .

If you are a male and you are reading this, congratulations: you are a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.

There are many reasons for this, typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.

“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr. Gullotta, “This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike.”

Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.

Two months ago, Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year.

“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer,” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged his life.”

According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.

“A lot of men think they are invincible(不可战胜的),” Gullotta says. “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, “Geez, if it could happen to him, __________.”

Then there is the ostrich approach, “some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.

“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.

“Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain(紧张) on the public purse,” Cartmill says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death.”

Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?

A. They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.

B. Their average life span has been considerably extended.

C. They have lived long enough to read this article.

D. They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.

What is the most important reason why men die five years earlier on average than women according to the author?

A. men drink and smoke much more than women

B. men don’t seek medical care as often as women

C. men aren’t as cautious as women in face of danger

D. men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases

Which of the following best completes the sentence “Geez, if it could happen

to him, _______”?

A. it could happen to me, too

B. I should avoid playing golf

C. I should consider myself lucky

D. it would be a big misfortune

What does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach”?

A. a casual attitude towards one’s health conditions

B. a new therapy for certain psychological problems

C. refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved

D. unwillingness to find out about one’s disease because of fear

Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.

One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.

To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not come easily ---- many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem..

Cars and Pollution in American

The Danish capital is a year-round destination. Here are some of the city's best annual events.

Roskilde Festival (July)

  The Danes love the outdoors and they love rock music; the Roskilde Festival is where they combine these passions for a weekend of drunken celebration. The four-day event is held about 30 minutes from the city completely, which means you can either go in for the full festival experience, or you can travel from the city to the festival each day.

There are also day tickets if you don't have the power for the whole collection of facts.

Kulturnatten (October)

For something a little more high brow there's the Night of Culture. For one night only some 300 venues in the city stage theater performances, art exhibitions, concerts and poetry readings.

Father Christmas Congress (July)

One of the more bizarre fixtures in Copenhagen's calendar, the event is held in July—the slow season for Santas—at the Bakken amusement park, some 20 minutes north of the city. The most interesting of the event is a procession of Santas from all over the world along Str??get. Parents should be prepared for some embarrassed questions from the kids.

Tivoli Gardens (November/December)

These pleasure gardens make for a great day out any time of the year but to see them at their most attractive, visit from mid-November through December, when they are transformed into a fairy tale of lanterns and Christmas markets. There's also outdoor skating, a Christmas entertainment and the very Danish 'Nissek??bing' village, home to more than 100 mechanical fairies.

A. Roskilde Festival                           B. Kulturnatten
