• 3．Facial-recognition cameras are everywhere-even in your smart phone.Many people use this technology to unlock their phones，open doors，or make quick payments.But there is a problem during the epidemic （疫情）：everyone wears masks.What a headache!
     Scientists are trying to solve this problem.For example，Engineering and Technology （E&T） magazine reports that Hanwang，a tech company in Beijing，has made a new system.It can recognize （辨認(rèn)） 95% of people when they wear masks.
     What's the secret？It's all about your eyes.Marios Savvides from Camegie Mellon University studies facial-recognition.As we get older，he says，our faces change shape.But the area around our eyes doesn't.It stays the same—even if we put on weight.As long as there are enough data from the area of our eyes，the cameras can recognize us.
     Tech5 is another facial-recognition company.The Swiss company's products scan （掃描） the shape of your face.They also scan your iris，which is the colored part of your eyes.Tech5 hopes to ignore （忽略） all of the face below the nose.
     This kind of software is more important than just unlocking your phone. "It can discover criminals，even when they wear masks，" said Huang Lei from Hanwang.Hanwang's technology is used by Chinese police in places like subway stations and airports.Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force.
     Huang pointed out one big weakness：it fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. "In this situation，all of the key facial information is lost，" Lei said to E&T.

  C．It brings people headaches all the time.
  D．It gives personal information to the bad.
