35、mer waits to pay. With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning, the man leaves in a minute. There s no cashier in the store. At a large university, students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym. Those peop
36、le are using “ smart machines ” which identify people by their physical characteristics. These new devices use fingers, hands, faces, eyes and voices. Some machines may even use smells. This new technology, called biometrics, gets information from parts of the body.In the past, biometric machines we
37、re used mainly in government agencies or in prisons. But now that the cost of the technology is lower, these machines are starting to be used everywhere, from border services to schools.Some people, however, are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy. They worry
38、that the machines will get personal information about them. “ I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy, but actually, biometric machines help to protect it,” says Jay Tarkett, who works at a company that develops the machines. “ They can be used instead of passwords on a computer
39、, for example. They can also identify criminals at airports. So, really, they help to promote public safety, and all the information stored is kept confidential by the machine itself.”Some people don t like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals, and feel like they
40、 are being accused of something. In addition, they don t work for some people, such as bricklayers, who wear down their fingerprints. Yet, face recognition does work well because the subject doesn t really have to do anything. To cash a check at a bank, for example, the customer has to do nothing mo
41、re than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller. If the face matches the picture kept on file, the customer gets the money with no problems. The need to carry identification with you from place to place, then, would all but cease.It has been found that the hand scan works well in the colleg
42、e gym. Before this machine was used, students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards. The 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 5 页，共 16 页6 problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards. With the hand-scanning machine, however, the problem was solved
43、 right away.But the machines are still new, and there can be problems. For example, voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise, and can be tricked. Another constraint 限制we notice, with machines that use face recognition in particular, is that they can be fooled if people color their
44、 hair or gain a lot of weight. However, this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a person s iris, the colored part of the eye. It can even identify the person from a few feet away, recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM.54. What s the author s inte

47、 we saw cloned dinosaurs running wild in the film Jurassic Park. And the idea of using technology to revive(恢复 ) extinct species has long fascinated not only writers and directors, but scientists as well.According to The Telegraph, woolly mammoths(长毛猛犸象), which featured in the popular Ice Age animat
48、ed movie series, “ may walk the earth once more” now that scientists have taken another step toward realizing a long -held dream recreating their DNA. Mammoths became extinct around 10,000 years ago. However, since the discovery of near-perfect preserved remains in Arctic permafrost( 北极冻土带 ) in May
49、2013, a variety of research studies have been carried out since.Geneticists from Harvard University analyzed DNA from the remains, looking for genes which separated mammoths from elephants, such as hairiness and ear size. They then used the results to reproduce exact copies of 14 mammoth genes. “ It
50、 is the first time that mammoth genes have been alive although so far it has only been done in the lab, ” George Church, lead researcher of the project, told the Sunday Times.Church then used a new technique which allows scientists to edit DNA carefully, replacing sections of elephant DNA with the m
