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 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 system．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 right 51％ of the time．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 you in the eye．So smile！

參考譯文

很快，計(jì)算機(jī)和其他機(jī)器只要看你的眼睛，就能認(rèn)出你來！這一程序的工作原理是由于人的眼睛各不相同。因此，當(dāng)你以后想使用機(jī)器或從銀行取錢時(shí)，就不必記密碼了。你只要看著機(jī)器，它就能認(rèn)出你來。

眼睛識別程序正在美國、英國、西班牙、意大利和土耳其的商場和銀行接受檢測。很快，這項(xiàng)技術(shù)就能取代其他的識別技術(shù)。

然而，科學(xué)家也在研制其他識別系統(tǒng)。機(jī)器很快就能從你的臉部、手部形狀甚至氣味認(rèn)出你來！我們已經(jīng)有了根據(jù)聲音或指紋認(rèn)人的機(jī)器。

眼睛識別技術(shù)比其他技術(shù)優(yōu)越，因?yàn)檠劬Σ粫S著年齡的增長而變化，也不會像手和手指那樣變臟。即使是雙胞胎，眼睛也不一樣，因此，這一程序的準(zhǔn)確率可高達(dá)94％，當(dāng)然，具體數(shù)字還要看技術(shù)的先進(jìn)程度。眼下，部分程序的準(zhǔn)確率可能僅達(dá)到51％。在英國，調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，91％的嘗試過這一技術(shù)的人說他們喜歡眼部識別這一創(chuàng)意。

將來，你的計(jì)算機(jī)會看你的眼睛，所以，請你微笑。
