阅读下面的短文，选择正确答案。

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes！The programme works because everyone's eyes are different．So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of bank．You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are．

The eye-recognition programme is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA，Britain，Spain，Italy and Turkey．Soon，this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are．

However，scientists are working on other system．Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell！We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger．

Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older，or get dirty like hands or fingers．And even twins have different eyes，so the programme can be up to 94％ correct，depending on how good the technology is．Some programmes may only be right 51％ of the time．In Britain，it was found that 91％ of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.

In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye．So smile！

参考译文

很快，计算机和其他机器只要看你的眼睛，就能认出你来！这一程序的工作原理是由于人的眼睛各不相同。因此，当你以后想使用机器或从银行取钱时，就不必记密码了。你只要看着机器，它就能认出你来。

眼睛识别程序正在美国、英国、西班牙、意大利和土耳其的商场和银行接受检测。很快，这项技术就能取代其他的识别技术。

然而，科学家也在研制其他识别系统。机器很快就能从你的脸部、手部形状甚至气味认出你来！我们已经有了根据声音或指纹认人的机器。

眼睛识别技术比其他技术优越，因为眼睛不会随着年龄的增长而变化，也不会像手和手指那样变脏。即使是双胞胎，眼睛也不一样，因此，这一程序的准确率可高达94％，当然，具体数字还要看技术的先进程度。眼下，部分程序的准确率可能仅达到51％。在英国，调查发现，91％的尝试过这一技术的人说他们喜欢眼部识别这一创意。

将来，你的计算机会看你的眼睛，所以，请你微笑。
