One morning, Thomas was woken from a deep sleep by a loud roaring(咆哮) noise. It sounded like a wild animal walking around under his bedroom window.
Thomas rushed over to the window. His eyes bulged(凸出) like basketballs ─ There, in the middle of the backyard, was a lion! “Amazing!” cried Thomas.
Suddenly, a giraffe poked(戳) its head through the window. It munched(大声咀嚼) the leaves from a plant by Thomas’s bed. Next, Thomas saw an elephant walk past the swimming pool and squirt(喷出) water all over Dad’s car. “Cool!” cheered Thomas. “Now I don’t have to wash Dad’s car today.”
Thomas grabbed his camera and rushed down the stairs. “ Dad, Dad, you were right!” he shouted.
“The backyard has become a jungle(丛林). Come and see! It’s amazing!” Thomas rushed outside and started taking photos of the animals.
Dad poked his head outside to see what happened. “Oh, my god!” he cried, spilling(溢出) his coffee as a rhinoceros(犀牛) ran past him. “No, no… this can’t be happening,” he cried. “It’s a disaster!”
“Don’t worry, Dad,” said Thomas. “It’s only spilled coffee. We can clean it up later.”
“Thomas, this is your fault(过错). If you mowed(割) the lawns, we wouldn’t be stuck(困在) in the middle of a jungle!” Dad shouted.
Thomas shrugged his shoulders(耸肩). “In fact, Dad, I think it’s really cool. Think of all the money we’ll save on trips to the zoo.”

What do you use to unlock your cellphone? A password? A fingerprint? Or simply a glance (一瞥)?
On Sept 12, 2017, Apple introduced its iPhone X, which has an eye-catching feature － Face ID.
With Face ID, you can unlock your new iPhone by just looking at it. It is powered by a camera system TrueDepth in 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 model of the face will then be created and stored 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 amazing, there are still concerns. For example, will Face ID work for twins? What if someone uses a photo in front of the iPhone X?
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.
Apple also emphasizes (强调) that Face ID is smart enough only to work when you want it to. It only unlocks when you open your eyes and stare at(盯住) it. So the phone won’t unlock if you are just glancing at the phone to know the time. It won’t work either if someone puts the phone at your sleeping face or your photo.
1.Face ID helps iPhone X users to _________.
A.take pictures more quickly B.make their photos more beautiful
C.unlock their cell phones D.create their face models easily
2.How does the camera system of Face ID work?
A.It compares the user’s face with the stored face model in the phone.
B.It remembers users’ faces by taking their pictures.
C.It uses a map to store face models of its users for later use.
D.It matches the users’ faces with unseen dots stored in the system.
3.The iPhone X users may not unlock their phones when _________.
A.they have changed their hairstyles B.they glance the phone for the time
C.they use it without turning on the lights D.they wear makeup
4.The underlined word “concerns” in Paragraph 7 probably means _________.
A.achievements B.worries C.reward D.knowledge
5.What is the main idea of the story?
A.We can unlock a smart phone in three different ways.
B.Apple’s iPhone X can’t tell the differences between different faces.
C.People don’t believe it’s safe to use Face ID.
D.Face ID is a program to unlock the iPhone X.
