36、only menu D. Offering some of the worlds finest beersB Every so often, mankind comes up with really good inventions that have changed our daily lives. However, the U.S. Patent Office has issued over 7. 5 million patents, and not all of them are quite so celebrated. Some good, some bad, and some craz

37、y! The following lists some of the more unusual ideas that have come along. Snake Leash In , a patent was issued for a snake-walking leash. There are at least two major problems with this idea. 1) Dog leashes fit securely between the head and shoulders. A snake does not have shoulders; so it might s

38、lither away. 2) Dogs are OK for public places because they are social animals, and people like them. Snakes are not OK for public places because they are not social, and some people are terrified of them. Stadium Helmet Americans are known for our love of sports. Unfortunately, good tickets to games

39、 are expensive, and some fans have to sit in the nosebleed sections. This invention, patented in , is designed for these fans. Featuring a built-in radio, binoculars(望远镜) , a cooling fan, and a helmet for falling litter, this design transforms the stadium experience. Toilet Lock In 1969, a patent wa

40、s issued for a really bad idea the toilet seat lock. First of all, fishing for your keys when you have to go seems very unpleasant. Then there is the possibility of losing the key altogether. What about guests? Just think that you would have to ask permission for the bathroom. Of course, there is th

41、e ultimate question: Why would you lock it in the first place? Humana Bird Feeder People have always admired the gracefulness and beauty of birds, and bird watching is a popular hobby. Unfortunately, getting up close and personal is a challenge. That is, until now. In 1999, a patent was issued for a

42、 helmet with birdfeeders attached to it. Although there may be a design flaw (缺陷) (turning the head to see the birds would probably frighten them), this invention could change the way of bird watching.Bacon Alarm Clock When you think about it, waking to the dreadful, blaring noise of an alarm clock

43、is a terrible way to start the day. However; this clock could change that. You simply put a piece of frozen bacon in the alarm clock, set the alarm, and go to sleep. The clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering smell of bacon the next morning, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the s

46、et, a customer waits to pay. With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning, the man leaves in a minute. Theres no cashier in the store. At a large university, students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym.

47、Those people 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 ma

48、chines were 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. T

49、hey worry 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

50、computer, 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 dont like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals, and feel l

51、ike they are being accused of something. In addition, they dont work for some people, such as bricklayers, who wear down their fingerprints. Yet, face recognition does work well because the subject doesnt really have to do anything. To cash a check at a bank, for example, the customer has to do noth

52、ing more 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

53、 college gym. Before this machine was used, students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards. The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards. With the hand-scanning machine, however, the problem was solved right away. But the machines are still new, and the

54、re 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 hair or gain a lot of weight. However, this parti

55、cular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a persons 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.61. Why dont people like using finger-prints while using the machine?A. They wa

56、nt to keep their mistakes a secret.B. They dont want to damage their fingers.C. They are afraid of losing money in the bank.D. They are afraid of being thought of a criminals.62. Why are biometric machines stating to be used in many fields?A. They are not as expensive as they were.B. They no longer

57、invade peoples privacy.C. People enjoy face and voice recognition.D. Criminals are often hidden at airports.63. What is the authors attitude towards the new technology? A. Bitter. B. Worried. C. Optimistic. D. Satisfied. 64. What is the passage mainly about? A. An introduction to biometric machines.

58、 B. An advertisement for biometric machines. C. A brief description of hand scanning machines. D. An analysis of biometric machines value in economy.DAre you a different person when you speak a foreign language? Thats just one of the questions the New Yorkers writer and native North Carolinian Laure

59、n Collins explores in her autobiography, about her tough efforts to master French after marrying a Frenchman whose name Olivier she couldnt even pronounce properly. When in French ranges from the humorously personal story to a deeper look at various theories of language acquisition and linguistics (

60、语言学).The couple met in London “on more or less neutral ground: his continent, my language.” But the balance shifted when they moved to Geneva for Oliviers work. The normally voluble Collins found herself at a loss “nearly speechless.” The language barrier, and her dependence on her husband for simpl

61、e things like buying the right cut of meat worsened her mixed feelings about “unlovely, but not ridiculous” Geneva. She comments, “Language, as much as land, is a place. To be cut off from it is to be, in a sense, homeless.”Her sense of alienation (疏离感) leads to an examination of Americas miserable record when it comes to foreign languages, “Linguists call America the graveyard of languages becau
