Reading comprehension 1: Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to answer each question from 636 to 640.

In an ambitious new project, the Philippines government, working in collaboration with various agencies and urban developers, is set to begin development of New Clark City, the Philippines’ first sustainable city. Located in Luzon, 100km north of the capital Manila, the city is expected to house up to 1.2 million people on over 9450 hectares, and will be connected by railway to Manila and an international airport.

What exactly does it mean to be a sustainable city? The overall goal is to create a pollution-free city through the use of solar power, energy-efficient buildings, and natural gas. There will be large areas designed specifically for pedestrians and cyclists, and even the main building materials will be environmentally friendly, a special mud from local volcanoes. Furthermore, the city will be ‘smart,’ using technology to manage the infrastructure and utilities including power, water, and sewage.

A second important aim is to ensure the city’s safety from natural disasters through its carefully chosen location and types of buildings. As one of the world’s most disaster-prone areas, this region is frequently affected by earthquakes, typhoons, and other natural disasters. Thus, should something happen to the capital of Manila, New Clark City could be used as a backup in case of emergency.

Though the initial phase is on track to be complete by 2022, developers are warning people not to have unrealistic expectations because sustainable cities require the full participation of both the government and the public. Also, this process will not happen overnight; it is estimated that it will take at least 30 years to complete the city. Similarly, residents need to adopt a sustainable lifestyle themselves, for example making environmentally friendly choices about their transportation and the goods they purchase in their daily lives.

Amazon One is an advanced payment method that uses palm recognition to identify customers. Currently available in over 400 Amazon and Whole Foods Market locations in the U.S., as well as at select Panera Bread locations and third-party sites such as airports and stadiums, Amazon’s palm payment system has set the standard in this field.

Amazon One allows its users to sign up via their smartphones, taking photos of their palms for enrollment without needing a physical visit. The biometric payment system scans both surface and subcutaneous characteristics of the hand, creating a unique palm signature for each customer using generative AI, which can be then verified by Amazon One scanners.

Amazon ensures that palm and vein images will be encrypted and stored on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, with access restricted to select AWS employees. Despite Amazon’s security assurances, concerns remain about the trade-off between the convenience of biometrics and privacy. Digital privacy advocates such as Albert Cahn and Evan Greer question if the benefits of biometric services outweigh the risks of sensitive data being handled by private companies.

However, Amazon insists that palm signatures are highly secure, claiming their system is 100 times more accurate than iris scanning. With advanced liveness detection capabilities, Amazon One has reportedly rejected 1,000 silicone and 3D-printed palms, reinforcing its reliability.

Following Amazon, leading French retailer Carrefour is also pioneering palm-based payment technology in Europe, launching a trial at a Carrefour Market in Paris starting July 29th. Partnering with Ingenico, Carrefour introduces palm scanners next to payment terminals, allowing registered customers to pay with a simple wave of their hand.

With an increasing demand for convenience, palm payments are expected to revolutionize the retail industry, especially in high-traffic areas like train stations and airports.
