2．"Hi!How are you？" The woman smiled as she took the seat beside me.She had to lower herself slowly，squeezing her ample bottom into the space.Positioning herself comfortably，she put her enormous arm on the armrest.I didn't reply and leaned towards the window.
She repeated her greeting in a friendly voice.
"Hi，" I replied.
"My name is Laura.I'm from Britain.How about you？" A palm waved in front of my face. "Malaysia，" I shook the hand unwillingly.
Laura started a conversation with me，taking no notice of my unfriendly reactions.Her voice was warm and caring.She was thoughtful.When we were served drinks and meals she made sure that I had room to move in my seat. "I don't want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!" she said with great sincerity.
To my amazement，her face that I disliked hours before，slowly opened into an extraordinary smile—lively and calm at the same time.I couldn't help but let down my guard.
Laura was an interesting conversationalist.She was well-read in many subjects from philosophy to science.She turned a seemingly unimportant subject into something to explore and understand.Her comments were humorous and inspirational.When our topic turned to cultures，I was pleasantly surprised by her intelligent comments and well-thought-out analysis.
I asked Laura， "Have you ever thought about losing some weight？You aren't worried about the diseases that come with being overweight？"
"Not at all.You only get the diseases if you're worried about your weight all the time.You see advertisements from slimming centers that say，'Liberate yourself from your extra baggage so that you are free to be yourself.' It's rubbish!You're liberated only if you're comfortable with who you are，and what you look like!I eat healthily and walk regularly；I'm this size because I am born to be big!"
She sipped her wine. "Besides，God gives me so much happiness that I need a bigger body to hold all of it!Why would I lose weight to lose my happiness？"
When we waved goodbye to each other at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport，I thought Laura was the most beautiful woman I had ever met in my life.

3．When scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors，how do they know who's who？
In the past，scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to recognize them.But in the future，they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology.
A research team from China's Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys that live on Qinling Mountain in Shanxi province.Similar to human facial recognition，the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database that includes every monkey，Xinhua reported.
"When the system is fully developed，we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains.The system will automatically recognize the monkeys，name them and analyze their behavior，" said Zhang He，a member of the research team. "For each snub-nosed monkey，we have 700 to 800 image samples，and the recognition success rate is 94 percent，" Zhang added.
"We used mobile phones and portable cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters，" said He Gang，a member of the research team and a professor in the College of Life Sciences at Northwest University. "There is no need to interfere with the monkeys ...Such a method of sampling is clearly non-invasive."
Compared to humans，facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because of their hairier faces.The color of their hair causes them to blend into their environment.These factors make it harder for computers to identify them.
"Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do.It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them，which are needed to improve the system，" said Li Baoguo，leader of the research team.
Currently，there are about 4，000 snub-nosed monkeys living on Qinling Mountain.The team's goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.Word Bank
