What do you use to unlock your cellphone? A password? A fingerprint? Or simply a glance(一瞥)?
On September 12, 2017, Apple introduced its iPhone X, which has an eye﹣catching feature (特色)﹣Face ID.
With Face ID, Apple says, you can unlock your new iPhone by just looking atit. It is powered by a so﹣called TrueDepth camera system built into the front of the iPhone X.
When the camera system sees a person's face, it uses 30,000 unseen dots (点) to "'map"(勾画)the shape and outline of the face. A mathematical model of the face will then be created and stored (储存) in the phone.
The next time the person looks at the iPhone X, the same dots are mapped onto his or her face and compared to the stored model. If the two match, then the phone unlocks.
This happens in less than a second.
Apple says the system is smart. If you change your hairstyle, put on sunglasses or makeup, or use the phone in the dark, Face ID still works.
Although the technology sounds fancy, there are still concerns (担心). For example,will Face ID work for twins?
According to Apple, the chance of others to unlock your iPhone X using Face ID is one in a million. Face ID can tell the difference between twins, but the error rating (出错率) rises. So one would need to set a password then.
Apple also emphasizes (强调) that Face ID only unlocks when you stare atit. It is what Apple calls"attention aware (察觉)". So the phone won't unlock if you are just glancing at the phone for the time. It won't work either if someone puts the phone at your sleeping face or your photo.

This summer I attended my first music festival. Unlike most of the festival﹣goers. We didn't buy tickets.Instead, we volunteered as festival stewards. We each worked 3 shifts﹣each shift was 8 hours long﹣ in exchange for a free ticket to the festival.
Leeds Festival is a large music festival which takes place yearly at the end of August. And thousands of people attend it each year.
There were several diffrerent stage, each catering for a different music taste:rock pop,alternative and dance. As well as the fantasic music on offer, there were also funfair rides, food outlets and a silent disco. I loved silent discos:everyone had a set of headphones with two channels and music was played through the headphonos. As a result, people could dance and sing along to completely different songs!
While we weren't working. we were freeto enjoy the festival. We saw a wide variety of artists across the weekend. I really enjoyed seeing Imagine Dragons, Vampire Weekend and, of course, Antie Monkeys.
We camped for five nights and it was freezing every night! However, we had a really nice campsite I had a great time and would definitely be returning the next year!

We have been used to wearing masks(口罩) in public since February.About 300 million masks are used and then thrown away every day in China. Where do these masks go? You might think they just go in a rubbish bin. But that's just the first stop on the masks' journey.
After the masks are thrown into the bins,rubbish trucks empty the bins and take the rubbish to landfills(垃圾场) Next, the masks will be taken to rubbish incinerators(焚化炉) and burned.
Burning masks might not seem to be very good for the environment. Won't it cause pollution?
The answer is "no", according to China Daily. The main material of most masks is polypropylene(聚丙烯). It's non﹣toxic(无毒的) After burning, it changes into water and CO2.In fact, burning the masks can bring some benefits(益处). The process of burning the rubbish can produce electricity. Burning one ton of rubbish can produce more than 400 kilowatt hours(度) of electricity. Some people make a prediction that there will be 162,000 tons of used masks in
China this year. Burning all of them can produce more than 64 million kilowatt hours of electricity.
This is enough to make an electric car drive about 370 million km, which is 9,250 times as long as the earth's equator.

The date July 22, 2018﹣ has meaning to Cui Qingtao, a boy of seventeen. He will remember it forever.
Cui Qingtao was working at a construction site(建筑工地) with his parents on Sunday when he received his admission letter(录取通知书) from Peking University, which is considered as one of the best universities in China.
In last year's gaokao, the young man from a poor family scored 669 points and applied for( 申请) Peking University, where he was accepted as a student in the School of Journalism(新闻)and Communication.
Cui's home is in a small village in southwest China's Yunnan Province. He is the family's oldest son, with a younger brother in high school and a sister in the fourth grade.
Cui is a caring son. To support his family, he'd get up at 3 o'clock in the morning to water plants in the family's greenhouses with his brother when he came home during the school breaks.
On Sunday, Cui's family were doing construction work when he saw the letter. Cui and his family were excited as they finally received the admission letter, which they had expected for a long time.
Cui Qingtao made his parents very proud because neither of them went to university. When his mother read the admission letter to his father, who cannot read, a big smile appeared on his father's face.
