22、   People who go to a formal Western dinner party for the first time may be surprised by table manners in Western culture. Knowing them will help you to behave properly.

First you should know how to put knives and forks. The forks are always on the left while knives on the right of the plate. When you see two spoons, you should know the bigger one is for soup and the small one for dessert. When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap.

Then dinner starts with a small dish. Some people pray before they start eating, and other people may keep silent for a moment. After that everybody starts. After the small dish, you will get a bowl of soup-but only one bowl of soup and never ask for a second. Many Westerners like to use their fingers when they eating chicken or other birds at table, but never touch beef or other meat in bones. It is polite to finish eating everything on your plate, so don't take more food than you need. Of course you should try to speak quietly and smile a lot, but do not laugh all the time at the table.

However, table manners change over time. They follow the fashion of the day. Also, table manners are only important at formal dinner parties. If you're not sure what to do, you can always follow your hosts. Although good manners always make you look good, you do not need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with your friends or family.

24、   Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program 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) program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology (技术) will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.

However, scientists are also working on other systems (系统). 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 eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct at present. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.

In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!

【1】How does the eye-recognition program work?

A.You write your number. B.You show your ID card.

C.You say your name. D.You look at the machine.

【2】How many ways will machines be able to know you soon?

A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Five.

【3】Why can the program be up to 94% correct?

A.Because eyes never change. B.Because hands or fingers can get dirty.

C.Because people like the idea of the program. D.Because the program is widely used around the world.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The program is being tested in Japan.

B.Machines with other systems can also tell who you are.

C.91% of people like the idea of the program.

D.Computers can remember you by looking at your clothes.

【5】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A.Introduction to some kinds of programs.

B.Introduction to the eye-recognition program.

C.The way how the eye-recognition program works.

25、短文填空

Some time ago, a fire broke out(爆发) in a building late at night. Nearly all the families were s【1】 inside the house. After the firemen came, they rushed into the burning building and saved the people to the safe p【2】.
