What do you use to unlock your cellphone? A password? A fingerprint? Or simply a glance?
On September 12, 2017, Apple introduced its iPhone X, which has an eye-catching feature—Face ID.
With Face ID, Apple says, you can unlock your new iPhone by just looking at it. It is powered by a so-called TrueDepth camera system built into the front of the iPhone X.
When the camera system sees a person’s face, it uses 30,000 unseen dots to “map” the shape and outline of the face. A mathematical model of the face will then be created and stored in the phone.
The next time the person looks at the iPhone X, the same dots are mapped onto his or her face and compared to the stored model. If the two match, then the phone unlocks. This happens in less than a second.
Apple says the system is smart. If you change your hairstyle, put on sunglasses or makeup, or use the phone in the dark, Face ID still works.
Although the technology sounds fancy, there are still concerns. For example, will Face ID work for twins?
According to Apple, the chance of others to unlock your iPhone X using Face ID is one in a million. Face ID can tell the difference between twins, but the error rating（出错率）rises. So one would need to set a password then.
Apple also emphasizes that Face ID only unlocks when you stare at it. It is what Apple calls “attention aware”. So the phone won’t unlock if you are just glancing at the phone for the time. It won’t work either if someone puts the phone at your sleeping face or your photo.
1.Face ID helps iPhone X users to ________.
A. get their phones more eye-catching
B. make the phone camera powerful
C. unlock their cell phones quickly
D. create and store their face model easily
2.How does the camera system of Face ID work?
A. It compares the face model with the user’s face later.
B. It remembers the users’ faces by taking their pictures.
C. It uses a map to store face models of its users for use.
D. It matches the users’ faces with dots in the system.
3.The iPhone X users may not unlock their phones when ________.
A. they wear makeup B. the users are twins
C. they change the hairstyles D. they use it without lights
4.What is the best title of the text?
A. The introduction of the iPhone X
B. The features of the iPhone X
C. The iPhone X recognizes a face
D. Unlock the iPhone X by a stare.
Hollywood is still seen as a “man’s world”, but one woman is doing her best to change that.
In May, 2017, U.S. director Sofia Coppola,46,became the second woman in the history of the Cannes Film Festival to win the Best Director Award for her movie The Beguiled. The last time a woman won the award was 56 years ago.
Coppola seemed to be born for a career in film. Her father is Francis Ford Coppola, who directed the famous movie The God father. Coppola first appeared as a, baby boy, Michael, in The God father.
However, it didn’t make her path to success easier. Instead, she grew up in the shadow of her father. People often criticized her for nepotism（裙带关系）and bad acting. She was named the “Worst Supporting Actress（配角）” and “Worst New Star” at the 1990 Golden Raspberry Awards for her acting in The God father Part III.
After that, she turned to directing-what she really wanted to do all along. Her first film Lick the Star came out in 1998. And Lost in Translation soon won her an Academy Award in 2003. She gradually became famous for films focusing on women. “I just think, half the world is female,” she told Elle.com. She makes films with these females in mind. From the cute Lisbon girls in the Virgin Suicides to the teen queen Marie Antoinette, Coppola brings us into the amazing worlds of girls, rather than simply showing them as stupid, unimportant or useless, Deviant World noted.
