26、Imagine you're standing in line to buy an afterschool snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.

【1】 As technology companies move away from traditional password, biometric(生物识别) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular.

In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.

【2】 “Biometrics, ideally, are good,” John Michener, a biometric expert, told tech website Inverse. “In practice, not so much.”

When introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature at Apple’s Keynote Event in September, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “【3】”

But it’s already been done. In a video posted on community website Reddit on Nov 3, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face, Quartz reported. And they aren’t even twins.

“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS news. “No security systems are perfect.”

Earlier this year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person's smartphone for police.

“It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. 【4】”

A．But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we’d imagined.

B．Security experts don’t think it absolutely necessary to use biometric technology.

C．But using multiple security measures is the best defense.

D．Now, this type of technology might not be far away.

E．If a person’s biometric information is stolen, that could have extremely serious consequences for that individual

F．The chance that a random person could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with his face is about one in a million.

27、The Double Ninth or the Chongyang Festival is a significant traditional festival in China, which falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. On this day, people celebrate the elderly people in society.

The festival is a traditional festival in China, together with the New Year’s Eve, the Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival all across China.

Note that for the Chinese people, the number 9 is considered as the pole of a “Yang” number. So on the 9th day of the 9th month on the lunar calendar, it is called the double ninth day or Chongyang, which is where the festival gets its name from. Chinese and other Asian people celebrate the day. According to Chinese tradition, “Yang” is a symbol of good luck, which makes the Double-Ninth Day a great day.

Celebrating the Double Ninth Festival allows you to appreciate the best of Chinese culture. The day’s activities include caring for the elderly people in society, eating the most fortunate food to drive danger out, like eating Chongyang cake, as well as drinking tea or wine from the chrysanthemum (菊花) and also enjoying outdoor activities like hiking the mountains on the day as a way of honoring nature and sending off evil spirits. Hiking up the mountain on the Double Ninth Festival started in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There are many poems about climbing high in Tang Dynasty, most of which are about the custom of Chongyang Festival. Du Fu’s seven-law “climbing high” is a famous poem about climbing high on Chongyang. There are no uniform (统一的) rules for climbing mountains or towers.

28、Bad teeth can be painful and even be deadly. Infections of the gums (牙龈) and teeth can release bacteria into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke and worsen the effects of other diseases. And adults are not the only ones at risk. For example, a 12­-year-­old  boy died when a tooth infection spread to his brain in 2007 in Washington. Experts said it might have been prevented had he received the dental care he needed.

Experts say good dental care starts at birth. Breast milk，they say，is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow bacterial growth and acid production in the mouth. But dentists say a baby’s gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding by using a cloth with a little warm water. Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, give only water.

When baby teeth begin to appear，you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently. The use of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. For example, it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel (釉质)，the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming.

But young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush their teeth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry notes that swallowing fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems. So young children should be carefully watched when they brush their teeth. And only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste, the size of a pea, should be used.

Parents often wonder what effect finger sucking might have on their baby’s teeth. Dental experts generally agree that this is fine early in life. Most children stop sucking their fingers by the age of four. If it continues，experts advise parents to talk to their children’s dentists or doctors because it could interfere with the correct development of permanent teeth.

Dentists say children should have their first dental visit at least by the time they are one year old. They say babies should be examined when their first teeth appear—usually at around six months.

【1】What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Bad teeth can be a threat to people’s health.

B. Bad teeth come along with other health problems.

C. Tooth infections can spread to brain easily.

D. Dental care should be done at an early age.

【2】According to the passage, what is the function of fluoride?

A. Making the surface on teeth much cleaner.

B. Protecting gums from being infected.

C. Keeping holes on teeth from forming.

D. Slowing down bacterial growth and acid production.

【3】What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?

A. To warn us of the deadly infections of gums and teeth.

B. To introduce the advantages of fluoridated toothpaste.

C. To draw our attention to the dental care of young children.

D. To present the research results about dental care.

29、I am on holiday here in Switzerland with my parents and I am having a fantastic time. 【1】 It is the first time I have ever been to the mountains and I love it. 【2】 My father isn’t very happy though. He isn’t allowed to smoke in the hotel so he has to go outside!

We have been on lots of walks in the mountains but we always go with a guide. 【3】 You can easily get lost—it’s so remote.

Yesterday we went for a boat trip around the lake but we had to go back to the hotel early. 【4】 It was fun but a bit frightening.

【5】 The worst thing is that I can’t go out at night. Not because my parents won’t let me but because there’s nowhere to go.
