Task 3
Study Skills
Text completion
When reading a longer text, it can be helpful to take it one paragraph at a time. Find the question that corresponds to that paragraph. Read the options 1-4 and search for paraphrases in the paragraph. This will help you choose the correct option. Remember, only one option is correct; the other three options are referred to in the text in some way but are not correct.
Preparing for the task
1 Read question 1 and the possible answers (1 -4). Then read the first paragraph of the text. Pay attention to the underlined words. What is the correct answer? How has the information been paraphrased? Are all of the incorrect options referenced in some way in the text?
Putting a Name to a Face
This is an interesting time for those of us who work in law enforcement The reason is that the technologies we have available to us in the field of crime prevention are increasing rapidly. And of course. t’s always bolter to prevent a crime from bang committed, than it is to catch a criminal. Among these technologies are face recognitions system. The development of computer software that can analyse photos and video, and match them to other images or live individuals has the potential to make crime prevention easier.
But just how does face recognition technology work? First, you start with an image to analyse. The computer software identifies a number of points on the face, ft then calculates measurements between these points. Next, it compares the face with a database of other faces, to find a match. At the moment, software is being developed that can do this more effectively – in three dimensions. That means that the angle of the face in the photograph s not important This ability is going to greatly improve face recognition software.
However, there are still some problems to overcome before the technology can really do what we want it to. Sunglasses, light reflected from ordinary glasses and even long hair can hide features of the lace. A person’s facial expressions are a challenge, too. In some cases, a big smile is enough to throw off the system and make identification fail. This is why some countries have rules about their passport photos; no smiling allowed. Still, programmers are getting closer every day to solving those problems.
Perhaps the most interesting advantage that face recognition systems offer is the possibility of screening large crowds. For example, sports events and busy places like airports are targets for football hooligans or terrorists. The new technology allows law enforcement to ealized potential troublemakers before they have a chance to break the law.
But the isn’t the only use. Some countries have also used it to catch people who try to vote twice, using different names. It’s also being developed for use in advertising. And. Of course, everyone’s heard of Facebook. This social network is full of images of faces. It has got software that can ealized faces and suggest name tags for new photos. So we can see that there plenty of everyday uses for this technology. But, while some people find it fun to have their photos labelled automatically, others find it creepy.
In fact, some people are against the idea of face recognition technology for any purpose. There are fears that it could be used in the wrong way. For example, governments could use it to monitor citizens in a way that threatens their freedom. There are also concerns about privacy. Do you really want someone to be able to identify you and keep track of all your movements? Who has the right to take and save somebody’s photo? How long can they keep it? And what if the software makes a mistake and someone is arrested who has done nothing wrong? There are a lot of questions to answer in order to ensure that the man in the street is not affected negatively by the technology.
Still, face recognition technology offers us the ability to save lives. It would also save time and money now spent of traditional law enforcement methods. This means that it is a direction we must continue to follow. What face recognition software can achieve is getting better every day. We simply have to make sure that It is not used incorrectly.

Текст аудирования:
Int: Hello, everyone, welcome to this week’s edition of The Stars Go Green, where we feature a famous person every week who is doing something to help the environment. This week’s guest is fashion designer Brandon Wells. Brandon, welcome to the show.
Brandon: Thank you.
Int: Brandon, you’ve been living and working in London for eight years now and you travel everywhere by bicycle. Have you always ridden a bike in London?
Brandon: Goodness, no! When I first came here, I wouldn’t have dreamed of cycling in the centre. It was far too dangerous, mainly because of the heavy traffic, but you also had to deal with the exhaust fumes. I can remember watching the cycle couriers weaving their way through the fumes. They looked like surgeons with their face masks on.
Int: So how did you get around the city in those days?
Brandon: By bus. I didn’t drive a car then and I couldn’t afford a taxi. Of course, if you’re really in a hurry, you take the Underground. But I never used the Tube and still don’t. I’m terrified of being stuck inside a tunnel! It happened to a friend of mine once. He said it was a terrifying experience!
Int: How long did your bus journeys to and from work take?
Brandon: About an hour. But then they introduced the Congestion Charge - you know - where you pay a charge to bring your car into the city centre - and my travel time was halved. It definitely succeeded in deterring motorists, even though you’d think car park fees would already have done that. Well, after a few months of going to work by bus, I noticed there were far more cyclists in the centre. Or maybe it just appeared that way because there were fewer cars around.
Int: So at what point did you change from bus to bicycle?
Brandon: I saw that cycling had definitely become a safer option. I started to count how many cyclists I spotted on each journey - then, when I reached three hundred I promised to buy myself a bike! It was a month or two before that happened. But by that time there was a network of cycle paths as well.
Int: How did it feel the first time your rode your new bike to work?
Brandon: I remember being nervous in case I got hit in the traffic. I wasn’t sure how long the journey would take, so I allowed an hour. In the end, I was twenty minutes late that morning. The boss wasn’t very happy, I can tell you. It wasn’t the distance I misjudged - it was my lack of fitness!
Int: You’re very fit now, though! How did you manage it?
Brandon: Well, I hadn’t done any serious cycling for years. I’d had a bike as a teenager, but I only used it at weekends visiting friends in the neighbourhood. Now I was attempting to cycle ten miles a day! My muscles were so sore at the beginning that I decided to catch the bus one day and cycle the next. Gradually, I was able to give up the bus!
Int: What do you think is the biggest benefit of riding a bike?
Brandon: There’s no doubt that it saves you time when you want to get somewhere in town quickly. But the really great thing is the improvement in my health. I really noticed it swimming last summer. I could swim for hours without getting tired. In fact, I’m in better shape now than I was ten years ago!
