The sun shone over the heads of children playing along Luxembourg’s paved road. We parked Tokki’s stroller（婴儿车）and stepped into the theatre to wait for the show to begin. There was a rustling sound behind us, and my son turned to stare at a grandmother unwrapping cookies for her granddaughter’s snack, offering one to me, but the girl opposed. I politely shook my head. “You don’t have the right,” the grandmother said quickly to her charge. French children either have the right to do something or they don’t.
Evidence of this strictness is everywhere, including Annecy, in the country’s southeast. One rainy afternoon, Tokki and I took shelter in the town library as a kindergarten class walked into the room. They neatly hung their purple pinafores (围嘴) on hooks.
We spent the next day on a lawn overlooking Lac d’Annecy. Family members gathered in the open air while girls in Sunday dresses played badminton. When a girl started to scream, I observed the French mother in action. Marching the girl into a field in full view of everyone, the mother left her alone crying over there. After what feels like endless time, the child calmed down and they walked away hand in hand. Is the mother too strict? Or do I want to be more like her?
French parents do not panic in the face of crisis, but I am not a French. On our last night in Annecy, in my desperation to feed the baby on schedule, we sat down at a café where we didn’t need to line up. As Tokki screamed, I became so stressed that I turned to our hotel leaving my husband at the café—forgetting he was about to find out whether he had won a festival prize.(He
did win.)

This activity will melt away the pounds, build your body and leave you on an emotional high. Yet the form of exercise, the fitness trend of the year , does not require gym membership or a personal trainer. All you need to do is walk.
Walking is a fresh alternative to complicated aerobic(需氧的) routines and overpriced gym membership , says personal trainer Lucy Knight, author of a new book on the exercise. It is free, enjoyable and already a part of everyday life. All you need to do is correct your technique , walk faster and for longer you will lose weight.
There is much evidence of the benefits of walking. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh
recently discovered that overweight people who walked briskly(轻快地) for 30 to 60 minutes a day lost weight even if they didn’t change any other lifestyle habits. Another American study found that people who walked for at least four hours a week gained less weight than cough potatoes as they got older. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts medical school found that people who walked every day had 25% fewer colds than those who sat a lot. Best of all, walking makes you feel good about yourself. “ For people suffering from depression, walking three to four times a week for 30 minutes has been shown to lift their mood,” says Knight.
But how to walk your way to weight loss and wellness? Health experts recommend that we should walk 10,000 steps a day to stay healthy. Actually you would probably need to walk at least 16,000 steps a day to lose weight. Your workout plans depend on your level of fitness. You should aim to progress by increasing your walking time by five minutes every two weeks, and walk a bit faster. In just three months, the results should speak for themselves ,says Knight. 8．What is the fitness trend of the year according to the passage?
A. Brisk walking. B. Losing weight.

Imagine you’re standing in line to buy a snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR Code(二维码) with your smart phone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.
Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric (生物特征识别的) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular.
In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smart phones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using one's fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become a commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since 2016, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smart phones, while Apple's new iphone X can even scan a user's face. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we imagine. “Biometrics is ideally good in practice, not so much,” said John Michener, a biometrics expert.
When introducing the new iPhone's face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice-president, said. “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhones X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million.” But it's already been done. In a video posted on a community website Reddit, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they aren't even twins.
\may expect too much from biometrics,\Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. \
Earlier last year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person's smart phone for the police, according to a tech website Splinter. “It's good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.” 12．Which is the latest identification technology in a smart phone according to the passage?
A. Face scanning.
B. Eye scanning. D. Fingerprint scanning.
C. QR Code scanning.
13．What is a major problem of the iPhone X's face ID system?
