Once a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete(不完整的),it could only roll(滚) very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way. It talked with insects(昆虫). It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fitted(适合). So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted perfectly, it put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole, with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to insects. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left the piece it found by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.

What do you use to unlock your cellphone? A password? A fingerprint? Or simply a glance(一瞥)?
On September 12, 2017, Apple introduced its iPhone X, which has an eye﹣catching feature (特色)﹣Face ID.
With Face ID, Apple says, you can unlock your new iPhone by just looking atit. It is powered by a so﹣called TrueDepth camera system built into the front of the iPhone X.
When the camera system sees a person's face, it uses 30,000 unseen dots (点) to "'map"(勾画)the shape and outline of the face. A mathematical model of the face will then be created and stored (储存) in the phone.
The next time the person looks at the iPhone X, the same dots are mapped onto his or her face and compared to the stored model. If the two match, then the phone unlocks.
This happens in less than a second.
Apple says the system is smart. If you change your hairstyle, put on sunglasses or makeup, or use the phone in the dark, Face ID still works.
Although the technology sounds fancy, there are still concerns (担心). For example,will Face ID work for twins?
According to Apple, the chance of others to unlock your iPhone X using Face ID is one in a million. Face ID can tell the difference between twins, but the error rating (出错率) rises. So one would need to set a password then.
Apple also emphasizes (强调) that Face ID only unlocks when you stare atit. It is what Apple calls"attention aware (察觉)". So the phone won't unlock if you are just glancing at the phone for the time. It won't work either if someone puts the phone at your sleeping face or your photo.
