1 . Facial recognition technology was used to permit passengers to get on flights at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International airport last week,making it the first in the nation to use the system. The technology can be used by international passengers traveling through a special terminal,which is operated by Delta Airlines. Delta said it is the first fully biometric (生物特征识别) airport terminal to operate in the U.S.

The goal of the system is to simplify and speed up the process of presenting documents to get on a flight. Passengers can begin using the facial recognition system when they first arrive at the airport. After the first check-in,passengers can also use face recognition to pass through security and to get on the plane. The system prevents the need for travelers to present their passport up to four times during the usual check in process. Travelers look into a camera that scans their face. This image is then compared against a collection of pictures kept by the CBP (U. S. Customs and Border Protection). The agency collects face scans from passports and visas.

The system, however, has raised concerns about privacy. Jeramie Scott, a lawyer with the Electronic Privacy Information Center,has called the use of facial recognition at U.S. airports a “massive threat”. He said that the government has created “a digital ID of millions of Americans” through facial recognition,and the government’s facial recognition database of citizens could he used for other purposes without an individual's permission. “The government now has the power to identify you whenever it wants. And they did this without a public discussion or consent taking photos collected for one purpose and using it for another,” he said.

The CBP told CBS News that any U.S.citizen who has privacy concerns can choose not to take part in the facial recognition system. This would prevent the airline from collecting a face scan to compare with SBP records. Its policy is to remove photos of U.S. citizens from its system once their identifies have been confirmed.

Delta Gay about two percent of passengers using the Atlanta airport terminal have chosen not to use the facial recognition system. Next year, the airline plans to expand its biometric system for international travelers at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Michigan.

1. Why is the facial recognition technology used in Atlanta International Airport?
A.To scan the travelers' faces.
B.To raise concerns about privacy.
C.To make more people board the planes.
D.To make the boarding more convenient.
2. What's Jeramie Scott's attitude toward facial recognition technology?
A.Cautious.B.Uncaring.C.Doubtful.D.Favorable.
3. What can we learn about the facial recognition system?
A.The system may be promoted.
B.Passengers' photos will be stored.
C.Most passengers reject the system.
D.The system scans passports and visas.
4. Where can you probably read the text?
A.In a news report.
B.In a travel handbook.
C.In a science book.
D.In an entertainment magazine.

2 . A sense of belonging to a group of co-workers is a better motivator for some employees than money,according to a study by University of lowa researchers. “We find that some self-managed teams show increased performance, when their members work together well,” says Greg Stewart, the lead professor in the study.

At the beginning,Stewart’s group studied how managers of self-managed teams decided payment. They studied 587 workers in 45 self-managed teams in Iowa. The members were allowed to give suggestions on how much their teammates should be paid for their work. The managers collected their ideas and then made decisions. The members were asked about how much their team spirit attracted them,and managers were asked about the productivity of both individuals and teams.

“In high functioning teams the group members work actively with each other, and they encourage and support each other,” says Stephen Courtright,member of the research group. The reason is that peer pressure acts as an important social force. Members don’t want to disappoint their teammates,so team spirit is more effective even than money as a motivating tool. People have a social need to be accepted,to be regarded as a part of a group and want to perform well.

However, this works only when team members get along. When they don’t, then self- managed teams perform badly. When team members don’t care much for each other, Courtright says team spirit as a motivating factor won't work. So money becomes the main motivating factor to improve productivity.

The carrot and stick method is that managers offer team members things in order to persuade them to work and punish them if they refuse. “Teams perform better when there is pressure from peers to perform well than when managers wave a carrot and stick,” Courtright says. “However, the carrot and stick method works well when team members just can’t get along.”

1. According to Paragraph 2,members of the self managed teams ________.
A.put great efforts into their work
B.took pride in their teams
C.preferred team work to personal work
D.could advise managers on incomes of their teammates
2. Why can some teams have high functions according to Paragraph 3?
A.Their team leaders are professional and strict.
B.Their team members get high money rewards.
C.Their members attach importance to team spirit.
D.Their team members have less work pressure.
3. The key factor for team spirit to work well is that team members ________.
A.are highly educated
B.care for their productivity
C.set clear goals for their work
D.have a good relationship with each other
4. What does the study focus on?
A.How to deal with peer pressure at work.
B.How motivators work in jobs.
C.The advantages of self-managed teams.
D.The importance of building team spirit for managers.

3 . Jack Frost has paid another visit to the Midwest. For the second time this week, a major winter storm has left people from Oklahoma to the Great Lakes struggling to stay safe and warm. Heavy, wet snow has shut down major highways, put off flights and left hundreds of thousands of Midwesterner without power. “It’s just snow. That's all we can see,” said Shannon Wick ware of Woodward.

The storm began in Texas on Sunday and rapidly traveled north. A gust of wind pushed the storm up towards Oklahoma, bringing fifteen inches of snow to parts of Oklahoma. It then moved east and hovered over Chicago, dropping four inches of wet snow on top of the city and its suburbs. Airlines canceled nearly 500 flights at Chicago's O' Hare and Midway airports. Later, the storm swept Ohio, causing a lot of problems for the local people. Taking into account the safety of their students in the storm, many schools in the affected areas either put off opening or did not open at all.

In Kansas City, Missouri, up to ten inches of snow had fallen before midday on Tuesday. The city's mayor, Sty James, declared a state of emergency. Most government and office buildings were shut down. Some hospitals were forced to close urgent-care clinics.

While heavy snowfall is not usual for this part of the country at this time of year, it is the amount of moisture in the snow that makes conditions extra “treacherous”. When snow is especially wet, it weighs down trees and brings down power lines. Roofs can cave in under the pressure and roads can become very icy. The power lines have cut off electricity to more than 100,000 homes and businesses in the Midwest.

As snow falls and the temperature continues to drop, people are preparing the best they can to stay dry and safe. The bad weather is making travel difficult for even snowplows (扫雪机) and repair vehicles.

1. What's the CORRECT order of the places that the snowstorm passed?
a. Chicago     b. Oklahoma       c. Texas     d. Ohio
A.a-d-c-bB.c-b-d-aC.a-d-b-cD.c-b-a-d
2. What can be inferred about Kansas City, Missouri?
A.It was hit worse than any other city by the storm.
B.It had never experienced such a big storm before.
C.It was seriously affected by the snowstorm.
D.It wasn't hit as badly as expected by the storm.
3. What does the underlined word “treacherous” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Unpleasant.B.Dangerous.C.Natural.D.Stable.
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Midwest was hit by snowstorms twice
B.Another major winter storm swept through the Midwest
C.America has very severe weather this winter
D.Schools in America have been closed because of a storm
