21、Facial recognition (面部识别) cameras are everywhere, including in your smartphone. Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or make quick payments, but there is a problem: Everyone is wearing masks. What a hassle!
Now, tech companies have updated their software. Facial recognition technology can now identify people even if they are wearing a mask.
Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology ( E&T ) reported. What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition technology. As we get older, he said, our faces change shape, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same — even if we put on weight. Another company, Geneva-based Tech5, has also been working on this kind of software. Another Japan based NEC Corp claims an surprising 99.9 percent accuracy rate when identifying people with masks.
Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It’s about public safety. For example, you don’t need to present an ID card, which can be lost or stolen. It also means that virus aren’t spread by touching things, said NEC’s Shinya Takeshima. “Touchless verification (验证) has become extremely important due to the coronavirus,” he said to Reuters. “We hope to contribute to safety and peace of mind.” More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime. “It can detect crime suspects (嫌疑犯) or terrorists,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments.
Huang admits one big weakness of this technology: It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Huang said to E&T.
【1】What does the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 1 probably mean ?
A.A habit.
B.A mistake.
C.A rule.
D.A trouble.
【2】The facial recognition software mainly depends on ________ to identify people with masks.
A.The forehead.
B.The shape of faces.
C.The eye region.
D.The facial expressions.
【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The future of facial recognition technology.
B.The advantages of facial recognition technology.
C.Different types of facial recognition software.
D.The problems with current facial recognition technology.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The new technology cannot keep key facial information.
B.It is necessary to make improvements in the new technology.
C.Huang has a negative attitude toward the new technology.
D.The new technology doesn’t work when people wear sunglasses.

The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone.He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.
Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting.“We are living in the information age.Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said, “It is worth trying to use new technology in education.Education itself is a kind of creation.I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”

Pow Wow
Pow Wows are the Native American people’s way of meeting together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships, and making new ones. This is a time method to renew Native American culture and preserve the rich heritage of American Indians. PowWows.com has 2 online radio stations that play Native American Music 24/7 free!

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
"Yeah, sure. What is it?"replied the man.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business. What makes you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.
“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head bowed.
Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I borrow $10, please?”
The father was furious. “If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you’re being so selfish. I work long, hard hours every day and don’t have time for such childish games.”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often.
The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.
“Are you asleep, son?” he asked.
“No, Daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It has been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here’s that $10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, beaming. “Oh. Thank you, Daddy!” he yelled.
Paragraph 1:
Then, the little boy reached under his pillow.

After hearing what the boy said, the man felt so sorry for what he had said to his son.
