A funny thing happened to my sister Tina last month. She lives in Japan and teaches English. In Japan, people don’t usually wear their outdoor shoes in the house or in school, and a lot of buildings have places for shoes. So her school ahs a special place for shoes.
Tina teaches English in the evening. One Friday, she went to school, and she put her shoes in the shoe box—as usual. Then she had an interesting spoken English class with her students. But to her surprise, her shoes weren’t in the box. There was only one pair of those there, and they weren’t her hoes! She had to get home in a hurry.
On Monday, at her next English class, her shoes were in a shopping bag on her desk! There was a note that said, “I’m so sorry. I took your shoes by mistake!” Somebody felt a lot of shame!
| A. It’s a shoe box. B. Tina is my sister. C. So she put on the shoes and left. D. After class she got ready to leave. E. But there was no name on the note. |

(2012黑龙江齐齐哈尔)阅读下面5段语言材料，从A～F中找出与它们相对应的标题。
No one knows when the first house was built and who was the first one to build the house．But the houses are changing all the time．
What will the house of the future look like？Could it have gardens on its walls，or a pool with fish for dinner？Architects(建筑学家)believe that they may come true one day．The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible in the future．
Many architects in the world would like to build a house like a leaf—the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day．The energy can be used to heat water，produce electricity，and even make fresh air for the room．The“root”(根)of the house is deep under the ground．It uses the soil to control the room’s temperature．
Like a lizard(蜥蜴)，changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house．When it’s in the brisht sun，the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat．During dark days，it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy．
This design is perhaps for the future of food．It has a garden on the outside wall of the house．People can plant tomatoes，carrots and green tea on them．So every morning，you just need to walk outside and collect your meals．
Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green．Sometimes，the old ways of building houses can also help cut down energy use．For example，a chimney(烟囱)can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to run out of the chimney．
| A．Learning from the past B．Meals at home C．The lizard house D．Houses in the future E．The tree house F．The history of the houses |

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes！The programme 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 programme is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA，Britain，Spain，Italy and Turkey．Soon，this technology will take the place of 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 hand or even your smell！We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger．
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 programme can be up to 94％ correct，depending on how good the technology is．Some programmes may only be 51％ correct of the time．In Britain，it was found that 91％ people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition．
