Jahira said, “Sabrina said that in her dream she went to the Olympics. She described everything at this inte
29、rnational competition. At first I did not take her story seriously.”But Sabrina kept talking about her dream. She told it to her father, David. So Jahira and David decided to pay for Sabrina to learn gymnastics.So Sabrina started to train at a special and competitive gym. Though only 7 years old, sh
30、e was already training to compete at a high level. The years passed quickly. Sabrina got better and better.

After a particularly busy period at work, I decided to get away from it all by going on a hike in the mountains in southern France.Befo
36、re I left, I read an interesting story in a magazine. It read, “Once, while I was riding on a crowded bus, the man sitting next to me threw his cell phone out of the window when his phone rang. I was surprised. He looked at me, shrugged (耸耸肩) and looked away. I had no idea whether it was his or stol
37、en or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not, but he clearly wanted to be free of it, because it clearly troubled him.”Billions of people across the world use cell phones. Though cell phones are a wonderful way for communication, they often do the exact opposite. Using cell phones can inc
38、rease stress within families and friends.So when I recently returned home, I got rid of my cell phone. Now I go outside without taking my phone with me.

The features most commonly used to
43、 identify people are faces, voices, finger prints and retinal scans. But their “behavioural biometrics”, such as the way they walk, are also giveaways.Researchers have, for several years, used video cameras and computers to analyse peoples gaits, and are now quite good at it. But translating such kn
44、owledge into a practical identification system can be tricky-especially if that system is supposed to be hidden. Cameras are often visible, are hard to set up, requi5re good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people. So a team led by Krikor Ozanyan of the University of Manchester, in
45、England and Patricia Scully of the National University of Ireland, in Galway have been looking for a better way to recognize gait. Their answer: pressure-sensitive mats.In themselves, such mats are nothing new. They have been part of security systems for donkeys years. But Dr. Ozanyan And Dr. Scully
46、 use a complex version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it. These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker. Dr. Ozanyan and Dr. Scully therefore turned, as is now common for anything to do with pattern recognition, to an Artificial In
47、telligence system that uses machine learning to recognize such patterns.It seems to work. In a study published earlier this year the two researchers tested their system on a database of footsteps trodden by 127 different people. They found that its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere 0.7%. And Dr. Scully says that even without a data
