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.

This summer I attended my first music festival. Unlike most of the festival﹣goers. We didn't buy tickets.Instead, we volunteered as festival stewards. We each worked 3 shifts﹣each shift was 8 hours long﹣ in exchange for a free ticket to the festival.

There were several diffrerent stage, each catering for a different music taste:rock pop,alternative and dance. As well as the fantasic music on offer, there were also funfair rides, food outlets and a silent disco. I loved silent discos:everyone had a set of headphones with two channels and music was played through the headphonos. As a result, people could dance and sing along to completely different songs!

While we weren't working. we were freeto enjoy the festival. We saw a wide variety of artists across the weekend. I really enjoyed seeing Imagine Dragons, Vampire Weekend and, of course, Antie Monkeys.
