听力原文： A credit card that only works when it hears its owner's voice has been developed by U. S. scientists. Researchers hope that the device, which comes with a built-in voice recognition chip and microphone, will be a weapon in the battle against credit card fraud. Even if thieves know a card's password and personal identification number, they will still have to copy the owner's voice accurately. The trial-card was created by scientists as B card in California U. S. The first version is three times as thick as a normal credit card. But researchers believe smaller chips will allow the card to slim down to a more conventional size. The card is apparently the first to put a voice recognition chip, a microphone, speaker and a battery into a credit card. To use the card, the owner first presses a button, and hears the prompt: say your password. If the password is correct and spoken by the right person, the card emits an identification signal which is processed by a computer connected to the Internet. Researchers hope to get the card to handle ten transactions per day for two years before its non-replaceable battery runs out.

According to the news, what makes this credit card different from conventional ones is ______.

A．that it can hear the owner's voice.

B．that it can remember a password.

C．that it can identify the owner's voice.

D．that it can remember the owner's PIN.

听力原文： Credit card fraud is a big problem. Card fraud in the U.S. involving bank cards alone totaled $ 680 million last year, which represented an increase of more than 35% over a 10-year period. However, the tide is beginning to turn, and the growth percentage of fraud is diminishing technologies are becoming more widely used. In 1994, Visa card fraud in the U. S. was as new equal to the figure posted in 1992. At Master Card, bogus card transactions rose 14% from 1993 to 1994. Even so, the growth rate has slowed considerably from the beginning of the decade. That looks good news for bankers and for average card holders as well.
