【推荐3】American publishing(印刷) house and bookstore Eterna Cadencia published a special kind of books called “The Book That Can’t Wait”. They are printed in special ink(墨) that can slowly disappear when the ink meets light and air. The ink will completely disappear in 2 months after people open the book.

“The Book That Can’t Wait” is written by some new authors. It makes the bonds(联结) between new authors and their readers much stronger by getting their books read quickly.

Books are usually very “patient”. We buy them, and then they wait for us to read. They wait there for days, months, even years. That’s OK for books, but not for new authors. If people don’t read their first book, they may not get a chance to publish a second one. That’s why Eterna Cadencia decides to make something different. They developed the special kind of ink in the hope that they could help the new authors a bit.

The creation of “The Book That Can’t Wait” is a success. Hundreds of people come to the bookstore to buy this kind of book.

【推荐1】Writing is a much newer invention than talking. Nobody knows when people first began to talk, but so far as we know, they did not begin to write until seven or eight thousand years ago.

In Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China, and later in Palestine and Greece, people began to make marks and pictures with sticks and sharp stones from which others, or they themselves later could see what they had thought.

These early records were the beginning of writing. The first writing was picture writing. Here are some early Chinese picture words. Can you see what they represent (代表)?

Later Chinese writing is less like pictures than the earlier writing was, but we can see the pictures in some of its words. For example:

In picture writing, each picture represents a word; you need a different picture or mark for each word. In present-day Chinese writing most of the marks are not pictures of anything, and a reader has to learn how the Chinese write about two thousand of these words before being able to read a newspaper.

With some of these marks you may be able to see what the idea is. For example:

The sun and the moon: 明. Its meanings are: “bright” and “open”.

A man and two marks: 仁. One of the meanings is “humanity”.

【推荐3】 Apple’s Iphone Users can scan their fingerprint to unlock their phone without using password. The technology is called Touch ID.The fingerprint sensorcan also be used to buy apps from the App Store. However, you can't use Touch ID to buy from online sites or use your fingerprint for banking Touch ID is designed to improve the phone's security. Without passwords stored on your phone, accessis only granted by a person' s unique fingerprint. That makes it hard for thieves to get hold of your details. But others think this promise of better security is false. Joe Schumacher, from the security company Neohapsis, said"the fingerprint reader is more of a salestactic” rather than a stronger method of security. People from Germany hacked into the Touch ID. They took a picture of a fingerprint left on some glass, and printed it on plastic. Then they used it to unlock the phone! Scary, right? Although most thieves won't be able to do this, the problem is still there. One of the men, nicknamed Starbug, told the Daily Mail,"Fingerprints should not be used to secure anything. You leave them everywhere, and it's far too easy to make fake (假的)fingers.
Who is right? Is a fingerprint scanner safer than a password? What do you think?
