29．　　You pick up your phone and look at it, and the screen unlocks right away. The phone knows who you are. It recognizes the shape of your face.
　　Welcome to the world of iPhone X! With the face recognition technology which is called Face ID, iPhone X is locked until you look at it and it recognizes you. Nothing has been simple, natural and effortless.
　　Actually, your face isn't the only part of your body you can use as a password. Many smart phones already accept fingerprint logins (登录). Other systems check the shape of the ear, patterns in the eye, or the way a person walks. All of these are special enough to say who you are.
　　People like using body parts as the password because it's easy and convenient. Besides, it's also usually very safe. It's hard to make another person's body parts, isn't it? However, it is not impossible.
　　The face may be one of the easiest body parts to copy. Most teenagers put plenty of their own photos online. These could help some bad people easily hack into a system of their phone like Face ID.
　　There is one more thing that worries experts. It would be easy for someone else to hold your phone in front of your face to unlock it. For example, your brother may unlock your phone against your will and see something you don't want to show him.
　　Some people don't worry about that. It's just so cool to be able to unlock a phone with a quick look. What do you think? Is facial recognition a good thing? Or are you worried about its safety?

32．　　One day, the students of Class 6 were reading in the classroom. Mrs. Brown came in and told the whole class that they would have to change the classroom in March. The naughtiest class in the grade could not believe it. The pupils all disagreed with the decision, so they shouted when Mrs. Brown said it was because a new pupil would be joining the class. The class was in disorder. "Why must we move to another classroom just because someone new is coming?" one of them asked angrily. Mrs. Brown waited patiently before the class without saying anything. The students saw it and they became quiet. Mrs. Brown told them to be nice to their new classmate and then she left.
　　The following week, the class understood why. The head teacher Mr. White himself brought the new student to their class. In fact, Mr. White pushed the new student to the class because the student was in a wheelchair. Mr. White introduced the new student, Jeff, and asked them to be friendly to him. He said that Jeff now was a member of the class and they should work together. He added, "A house which divides against itself cannot stand." Nobody could fully understand what Mr. White meant at first.
　　Over time, they began to understand what their head teacher had meant. Jeff was a bright student and often gave a helping hand to students who did not understand their work. They felt very thankful to him. They took turns to wheel him about because they knew well that when someone did something for you, you should do something back in return. Not only were their grades improved, but also their behavior became better. It was a special year that Class 6 would never forget.
