【正文】 to learn Chinese martial arts but never got the chance， so he put his kid in， he said． I was so afraid at that time because I thought kung fu was all about fighting． But things changed after he learned that martial arts were more than punching and kicking． One of the things martial arts teach me is overing adversity， Tokuda said． As a little kid， my first lesson was like， oh， look， this is a thing that I can get through by diligence， perseverance（毅力）and dedication， and that was priceless for my life． Learning Chinese martial arts opened a gateway for him to better understand Chinese culture because he could hear a lot of ancient Chinese kung fu﹣related stories． It is like in America， where we hear stories about knights in shining armor and King Arthur and noble deeds done， he said． I feel martial arts preserve something of ancient China that can39。t be found in books． They are sort of an oral history． Tokuda has also been invited to various events in his home state to showcase traditional Chinese culture， including the dragon dance and lion dance， which he also learnt at the martial arts school． Because of this， he is now considered a cultural envoy （使者） in the

Remember Faces Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming． Pressure to learn people39。s names only adds to the stress． A new facial﹣recognition app could e to the rescue， but privacy experts remend proceeding with caution． The app， called SocialRecall， connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition， potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions． It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody， says Barry Sandrew， who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1，000 people． After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer， the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media． At the event， the app is active within a previously defined geographical area． When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee39。s face， the app identifies the individual， displays the person39。s name， and links to his or her social media profile． To protect privacy， it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate． And the app39。s creators say it automatically deletes users39。 data after an event． Ann Cavoukian， a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app39。s creators for these protective measures． She cautions， however， that when people choose to share their personal information with the app， they should know that there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might e back to bite you． The start﹣up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia， or face blindness， a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met． To use this app， a person first acquires an image of someone39。s face， from either the smartphone39。s camera or a photograph， and then tags it with a name． When the camera spots that same face in real life， the previously entered information is displayed． The collected data are stored only on a user39。s phone， according to the team behind the app．（1）SocialRecall is used to　 　．A． take photosB． identify

unintended consequences．C． It can prevent some munication disorders．D． It is praised by users for its protective measures．7．（8分）GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind﹣broadening experience． That statement is probably made in parison to training for work straight after school， which might not be so encouraging． But is it actually true？ Jessika Golle of the University of T252。bingen， in Germany， thought she would try to find out． Her result， however， is not quite what might be expected． As she reports in Psychological Science this week， she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post﹣school years in vocational （職業(yè)的） training for work． However， it was not the case that university broadened minds． Rather， work seemed to narrow them． Dr． Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2，095 German youngsters． The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers． One was of personality traits， including openness， conscientiousness（認(rèn)真）and so on． The other was of attitudes， such as realistic， investigative and enterprising． They administered both tests twice﹣once towards the end of each volunteer39。s time at school， and then again six years later． Of the original group
