III. READING — Identical twins (23–27)
Read the article and choose the correct answer.
Identical twins have the same physical appearance. When you look at a photo of identical twins, you might see that they both have the same height, hair and eye color.
When you first see them, identical twins look the same, but there are some differences in their looks. Patrick Flynn, a computer scientist from the University of Notre Dame in the United States, uses computer technology to look closely at identical twins. Computers can recognize people when they cut their hair or grow a beard. So how about twins? Can computers tell the difference? The answer is: Yes! While humans can tell how people feel, computers are good at noticing very small physical differences. Technology can see things like differences in the size of freckles.
So what can humans do to identify identical twins? Their personalities can be different. One twin may be quiet, while the other twin may be talkative. They may also like different things and have different hobbies. Looking alike doesn’t mean acting alike.
