Life is too short to spend your time avoiding failure．
In 1981，at the age of 39，I lost my job．The next day I took a big risk and began my own company．In 2001，when I was debating whether to run for mayor，most people advised me not to do it．But one person said，\a concession（败选）speech，then why not go for it？\received，and I followed it．

In order to succeed，you must first be willing to fail﹣and you must have the courage to go for it anyway． Make your own luck
Luck plays a part in success．The harder you work，the luckier you get．
Whatever you choose to do，even if it's not the job of your dreams，always work hard at it．Be the first person at work in the morning and the last to leave at night．Hard work creates chances． Never stop learning
The most powerful word in English language is\．There is nothing so powerful as an open，inquiring mind（探究精神）．Whatever field you choose for starting a business﹣be a lifelong student． Give back
You are responsible for your success and failure，but you only succeed if you share the reward with others．
My first donation was a 5check to my alma mater （母校）．And while the checks（支票）may be bigger today，they come with the same spirit．
You don't have to be wealthy to give back．You can give back by giving your time and talents．

41．Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!The program works because everyone's eyes are different．So in the future you won't have to remember the number of your credit card when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank．You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are．
The eye﹣recognition（眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA，Britain，Spain，Italy and Turkey．Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are． Eye﹣recognition is a course of recognizing iris（虹膜），which includes the following steps．First，a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one's iris from his eyes and store them．Second，when this person goes to the bank to take out money，this machine will have iris feature extraction（采集）．Then，this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction．Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same，this person will be identified，and he will take out the money from the bank successfully．
However，scientists are also working on other systems．Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell!We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger． Eye﹣recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older，and don't get dirty like hands or fingers，and even twins have different eyes．So the eye﹣recognition program can be up to 94% correct，depending on how good the technology is．However，some other programs may only be 51% correct now．In Britain，it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of
eye﹣recognition．
In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye．So smile! 41．The program has been tested in shops and banks in ． A．America and China B．Spain and Japan

C．The places where other programmes are tested． D．Some old machines used to identify people．
45．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ A．All the eye﹣recognition programs can be up to 94% correct．
B．In Britain，91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye recognition． C．Everyone's eyes are different，even twins have different eyes． D．Some other programs used to be 51% correct．
