2．Craig Blackburn，a father and car fan，built a Batmobile for his son's hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children.And now he hopes to use it for more than just his son's hope after seeing the children's reaction to the Batmobile.
Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups，he estimated that only about one in 50 attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.
Mr.Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing.It started with importing an outer shell overseas，before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car.With the help of his friend，Mr.Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.
Mr.Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower（噴火器）onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight.Though Mr.Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction，in September 2019，the car made its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba，before being used by Blackburn's son for his hope.
"It was great.It was so good to see the kids' and adults' excitement at seeing the Batmobile，" Mr.Blackburn said.As a result，the car lovers hope to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible，so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.

3．Most online fraud（詐騙）involves identity theft.Passwords help.But many can be guessed.Newer phones，tablets，laptops and desktop computers often have strengthened security with fingerprint and facial recognition.But these can be imitated.That is why a new approach，behavioural biometrics （生物統(tǒng)計學），is gaining ground.
It relies on the wealth of measurements made by today's devices.These include data from sensors that reveal how people hold their phones when using them，how they carry them and even the way they walk.Touchscreens，keyboards and mice can be monitored to show the distinctive ways in which someone's fingers and hands move.These features can then be used to determine whether someone attempting to make a transaction （交易）is likely to be the device's habitual user.
"Behavioural biometrics make it possible to identify an individual's unique motion fingerprint"，says John Whaley，head of Unifyid，a firm in Silicon Valley that is involved in the field.When coupled with information about a user's finger pressure and speed on the touchscreen，as well as a device's regular places of use-as revealed by its GPS unit一that user's identity can be pretty well determined.
Used wisely，behavioural biometrics could be a great benefit.In fact，Unifyid and an unnamed car company are even developing a system that unlocks the doors of a vehicle once the pace of the driver，as measured by his phone，is recognised.Used unwisely，however，the system would become yet another electronic spy on people's privacy，permitting complete strangers to monitor your every action，from the moment you reach for your phone in the morning，to when you throw it on the floor at night.
（1）What is behavioural biometrics for？
A．To ensure network security.
B．To identify network crime.
C．To track online fraud.
D．To gather online data.
（2）How does behavioural biometrics work？
A．By restricting and detecting the access to an account of users.
B．By spotting and revealing a device's regular places of use.
C．By monitoring and comparing the ways users interact with devices.
D．By offering and analyzing the operating system of devices.
（3）What's the author's attitude towards behavioural biometrics？
A．Doubtful.
B．Concerned.
C．Objective.
D．Favorable.
（4）From which section of a magazine can this passage possibly be taken？
A．Health and wealth.
B．Science and technology.
C．Finance and economics.
D．Books and arts.組卷：9引用：2難度：0.6

Not knowing what to do，he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen.He saw a few of his classmates there，among them was Fahad.He was one of the richest kids in his class but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser.But as Asad was new，he didn't know much about Fahad.
