Around the world,facial recognition（FR人脸识别）has slowly become a part of our daily life.
After helping people to make payments and open bank accounts,FR now is used in the subway of Zhengzhou,Henan Province. FR was introduced in September and now it can be used by passengers who link their online payment systems to the subway's smartphone app. China Daily reports that other cities in China,including Beijing,are testing a similar system.
It's not hard to see why. FR technology could help speed up security （安全） checks greatly. Yuan Xiaoqin,a park manager in Hangzhou,told CCTV the reason why the park upgraded （升级） its entry system,"FR can help a visitor enter the park in two or three seconds. Fingerprint information sometimes isn't sensitive （灵敏的）,especially when the fingers are injured or too dry." Before,the park used a fingerprint entry system.
However,there are some problems with the use of FR. Some people are afraid that their personal information will be leaked.
In fact,sometimes people can refuse the app if they don't want their facial information disclosed （暴露）,but sometimes people don't have a choice.

What age does doukou nianhua refer to?
In one of his poems,Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu compared girls around the age of 13 to blooming cardamom （豆蔻） flowers. Since then,people have used the phrase to refer to teenage girls of this age.
Rather than using numbers,ancient Chinese people described someone's age using titles （称谓）. For example,Chuitiao,meaning "straight hair",referred to children from 3 to 8 years old. Chuitiao was a popular hairstyle for children of these ages.
Zongjiao,meaning "twisted （缠绕的） horn （角）",described children from 9 to 14 years old. Back then,children would comb their hair into two halves and twist each half into a knot. They looked like two horns on their heads.
Shufa,meaning a child ties his hair up,was used for boys who had reached the age of 15.
Ruoguan,or "junior cap" was used for young men in their twenties. These men would attend a hat-wearing ceremony when they turned 20,showing that they had become an adult.
"The year of independence" was the time when a man turned 30. He won't have a daydream any longer. He shouldn't speak more and work less.
At the age of 40,one has no doubts about the world.
When a man turned 50,he reached "the year of understanding the fate （命运）of heaven". It means he has become aware of his fate and will no longer make any useless efforts.
Finally,if you were lucky to live beyond 100 years,you would get the title "Qiyi".

Recently,my students couldn't get on well with each other,so I decided to have them play a game. I told each student to bring a plastic bag with a few tomatoes in it to school. Each student would "name" their tomatoes after the people they did not like. Therefore,the number of tomatoes would be different depending on how many people each student disliked.
The next day,all of the students brought their tomatoes to school. Some of them had just one or two tomatoes,while others had as many as five or six. I then told the students that they would have to carry their tomatoes with them wherever they went for one week.
Several days went by. Some of the students started to complain,as their tomatoes started to rot （腐烂） and smell bad. The students who carried more tomatoes also complained about how heavy their bags were.
One week later,the game was over. I asked,"How did you feel about carrying your tomatoes for a week?"
The students complained once again. I simply smiled and said,"This is what it's like to carry hate in your heart. You have to carry "it" with you wherever you go. If you can't stand carrying rotten tomatoes for one week,can you imagine having hate in your heart for a whole lifetime?"
It can be exhausting to carry hate in your heart for a whole lifetime. Forgive others and move on with your life.
