【推荐1】Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫）, but birds can’t easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But in the harvest time, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others, so they have to come out only at night.
If you study the animal life, you will find the main use of color is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quickly through the forest. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange fact? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid（液体）when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

【推荐2】In 2019, one subway line in Jinan, Shandong Province became the first in China to start the use of 3D facial recognition（识别）technology. After downloading the required app—the Jinan Metro app, passengers can enter the station just by looking into a screen at the turnstile（旋转栅门）. The process takes around two seconds, which is faster than scanning a QR code（扫描二维码）. The new technology greatly speeds up entry times. According to a staff member at Jinan Rail Transit Group, about 30 to 40 passengers can pass through the turnstile every minute.
Today facial recognition is more widely used in our lives. At KFC stores across China, customers can order their meals by scanning their faces in front of a self-serving screen, which has been around since 2017. With the ATMs of banks like the Agricultural Bank of China customers can withdraw cash by scanning their faces, without the need for a bank card or even a mobile phone. At some airports like Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, the security（安全） check process can be completed in about l2 seconds thanks to facial recognition technology.
