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．

When I was a kid, my dad worked in a shop in the center of our town. Sometimes, I went to the shop with him and I made a little pocket money by buying things for his workmates. But I never paid attention to all the things and people around me.
One day, as my dad and I were driving to the shop, I looked out of the window of the car and I saw an old man standing at the street corner. There was a rose in his hand, he was smelling the rose. For some reason, our eyes met and we looked at each other for about twenty seconds. There was nothing unusual about this man but the meet was unusual to me. Up to that moment in my life, I had given no thought to anyone on the street, in shops or anywhere else. I had no interest out of my family.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of our soul. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. However, to have healthy eyes you have to look after them properly. Yours eyes need everyday attention.
Pay more attention to your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits and vegetables such as fish, eggs, and milk. Besides, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.
A regular and sound sleep is necessary. It relaxes the eye muscles and gives them the rest required. Sleep not only helps the body to repair its tired tissues(组织). Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye.
You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink(眨眼) yours eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs watery, and gives them a good wash.
We use our eyes in many unnoticeable and wrong ways. Fox example, if a small thing goes into our eye we start rubbing(揉) it, which is wrong. Rubbing can cause damage to your eyes. Don’ t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes. Too much reading, writing, watching television or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.
Remember to always take care of God’s most beautiful gift to you. Your life will be very colorless without your eyes.

We have always been interested in the moon. 2000 years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes(望远镜) to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years earlier.
In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.From the passage we know the moon was made of_____________.

Many people think that water will never be used up（用尽）because there are many rivers and lakes. And the rain can make us get enough fresh water.

There is little rain there all year round. Let’s look around us. Some factories pour（倒）dirty water into rivers. And some people drop litter into rivers. We see polluted water here and there.
