“Ordinary” was the worst word my mother could find for anything. Whenever she took me out for shopping, I found she wouldn’t take any notice of the shop assistants when they suggested that some dresses were popular. She would say, “We’re not interested in that. Haven’t you got anything a little unusual?” And then the assistants would bring out all the strange colours no one else would buy. And later she and I would argue because I wanted to be ordinary but my mother wanted to be unusual.
“I can’t stand that hairdo (发型),” she said to me when I was in a boy hairstyle, “It’s so terribly ordinary... Not ugly, not unsuitable. But ordinary ...”
“Couldn’t you please wear something else?” I asked one day when she was dressing for Parents’ Day in tight (紧贴的) trousers and a bright pink sweater.
“What’t wrong with it!”
“It’s just that I wish you’d wear something ordinary.” I said, “People won’t laugh at.”
She looked at me angrily, “Are you ashamed of your mother? If you are, Mary, I feel sorry for you.”What did the shop assistants advise Mary’s mother to buy?
| A．Something very popular. | B．Styles they have sold out of. |
| C．Cheap clothes. | D．The most unusual clothes. |
When Mary had her hair cut in a boy hairstyle, her mother ____.
| A．felt happy with it | B．surely disliked it |
| C．told her to change it | D．thought it was unusual |
Why did Mary ask her mother to change her clothes on Parents’ Day?
| A．Because her mother’s clothes were out of style. |
| B．Because she didn’t like a pink sweater at all. |
| C．Because she didn’t like her mother to dress that way. |
| D．Because she didn’t want others to look at her mother. |
What does her mother mean by “ordinary”?
| A．Unusual. | B．Ugly. | C．Common. | D．Popular. |
The underlined word “It” most likely means ____.
| A．the hairdo | B．the dresser | C．the boy | D．the colour |

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(眼睛识别) programme is tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and Italy.
Scientists are working on other systems, such as knowing you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! And machines can already tell who you are from your voice or your fingerprint(指纹). But eye-recognition will replace other ways of finding out who you are. It is better, 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. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
根据短文内容，选择正确答案。Where has the programme for remembering eyes been tested?
| A．Banks and factories. | B．Banks and shops. |
| C．Schools and computers. | D．Schools and shops. |
How does the eye-recognition programme work?

| A．Remembering eyes or smell. | B．Remembering fingerprints or voices. |
| C．Remembering faces or voices. | D．Remembering hands or faces. |
What problems could there be with the eye-recognition programme?
| A．Some eyes are the same. | B．Eyes can change. |
| C．It is not always correct. | D．Eyes can get dirty. |
