In 2016，Wanda Dench was trying to let her grandkids know about the family's upcoming plans for the holiday and tried to send a text message to her grandson.But Jamal Hinton，who was a 17-year-old high school student and complete stranger to Dench at the time，received the text instead.
    Once the two Arizona natives realized the mistake，Hinton asked if he could "still get a plate，" according to screenshots he posted on Twitter.Dench replied， "Of course you can.That's what grandmas do...feed everyone."
    Hinton shared the sweet conversation on social media and the story quickly went viral（瘋傳）.They have celebrated Thanksgiving together every year since，always snapping photos and taking videos，much to the delight of many following their story.
    This year，a very important person is missing from the annual tradition- Dench's husband，Lonnie.He died from the coronavirus this spring.Wanda was able to be with him during his final moments.
    Dench and Hinton thought about the risks of holding a Thanksgiving celebration amid the pandemic（疫情期間），weighing if they could figure out a way to get together the day before gathering with their own individual families.But，they eventually concluded the risk was too high.
    In honor of Lonnie，the friends instead held a small gathering on Friday.Dench，her actual grandson，her daughter，Hinton and his girlfriend，Mikaela，got together for an early Thanksgiving meal.The event was a sharp contrast from the larger celebrations of years past.
    "I didn't want to miss Thanksgiving with Jamal，" Dench said. "This year is definitely different than all the years in the past."
    To honor Lonnie，an empty seat and lit candle were placed at the head of the table.The beloved husband would always say grace before the holiday meal，so this year，Dench led the prayer.
    "Thank you for all the blessings，and thank you so much for having Lonnie in my life，" Dench said as everyone sat around the table. "I miss him，but I know he's in a good place.So to everybody here，I love you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving."

3．Human memory is notoriously （眾所周知地） unreliable.Even people with the sharpest facial recognition skills can only remember so much.
    It's tough to quantify how good a person is （1）

remembering.No one really knows how many different faces someone can recall，for example，but various estimates tend to hover in the thousands – based on the number of acquaintances a person （2）

have.
    Machines aren't limited this way.Give the right computer a massive database of faces，and it can process what it sees – then recognize a face it （3）

（tell） to find – with remarkable speed and precision.This skill is （4）

supports the enormous promise of facial-recognition software in the 21^st century.It is also what makes contemporary surveillance （監(jiān)控） systems so scary.
    The thing is，machines sill have limitations when it comes to facial recognition.And scientists are only just beginning to understand what those constraints are. （5）

（figure） out how computers are struggling，researchers at the University of Washington created a massive database of faces – they call it MegaFace – and （6）

（test） a variety of facial-recognition algorithms（算法） as they scales up in complexity.The idea was to test the machines on a database that included up to 1 million different images of nearly 7，000 different people – and not just a large database （7）

（feature） a relatively small number of different faces，more consistent with what's been used in other research.
    As the databases grew，machine accuracy dipped across the board.Algorithms （8）

were right 95% of the time when they were dealing with a 13，000-image database，for example，were accurate about 70% of the time when （9）

    Machines also had difficulty adjusting for people who look a lot alike –either doppelgangers （長相極相似的人），whom the machine would have trouble （10）

（identify） as two separate people，or the same person who appeared in different photos at different ages or in different lighting，whom the machine would incorrectly view as separate people.
