26、on his knees, she at once knew who he was. “Now, if anyone ever has a doubt regarding factorisation(因式分解), just once, read page number thirteen in your textbook.

27、er middle school Math teacher. He was a widower(寡夫), always looking sad.

The school where

33、 her daughter studied. “Do you happen to know Jaya Kumari?”Something flashed across his face. Anyone else would consider the expression as recalling something. But she knew it was pain.

39、yourself in restaurants to show others what an exciting life you have? Or do you like to write about how happily in love you are? Or perhaps you are of the subtle type who constantly complain about jobs but really just want to impress others with your important position.According to the results of a

40、 series of experiments conducted by Harvard University neuroscientists（神经科学家）, the reward areas of our brain-the same areas that respond to “primary rewards” such as food -are activated when we talk about ourselves. We devote between 30 to 40 percent of our conversation time to doing just that. Unfo

41、rtunately, Bernstein says, some people cant tell the difference between sharing positive information that others might actually want to know and direct bragging. She suggests that bragging involves comparison, whether stated or implied. “We are expected to be perfect all the time. The result is that

42、 more and more people are carefully managing their online images”. says Elizabeth Bernstein, a columnist with the Wall Street Journal. But the issue is not limited to the Internet. In a fiercely competitive job market we must sell ourselves on multiple platforms and show that we are better than othe

43、rs. In fact, we have become so accustomed to bragging that we dont even realize we are doing it, says Bernstein. This is harmful to our relationships and puts people off.Bernstein talked to some experts who said that people brag for all sorts of reasons: to appear worthy of attention; to prove to ou

44、rselves we are doing fine and that people who said we would fail are wrong; or simply because were excited when good things happen to us.“Feel sorry for them, because theyre doing this unconscious, destructive thing that wont help them in the long run,” said Professor Simian Valier, a research psych

48、ssword (密码) strength has been a topic about the Internet lately. I have seen lots of clever methods for generating and remembering strong passwords. Some are better than others, but in my opinion, none are adequate. Heres the problem: It doesnt matter how strong your passwords are if you use the sam

49、e one on multiple sites. All it takes is for a site to get hacked(侵入), like Gawker media, or even Sony did, and now your super-strong password has been stolen, and every site on which you used that password has been accessed.So, the bottom line is that no matter how strong your passwords are, and no

50、 matter what clever tricks you use to help you remember them, if you surf internet often, the only truly secure password system is what you need.Enter LastPass. Its not the only password manager out there, but I like it the best. You create ONE strong password that you have to memorize and use it to

51、 access your LastPass database. The LastPass database is stored online, on LastPasss servers. LastPass recognizes the site youre on and automatically logs you in (after, optionally, asking you to re-enter your master password). LastPass also has automatic form fill and automatic password generation.

52、 This means that you can have a different, unique, very strong password for every site you log into, but you only have to remember one master password. Its the best of both worlds.One argument against LastPass is that if their database is attacked, then all of your sites are in danger, and thats tru

53、e, but given that their entire line of work is keeping that information safe, Im willing to take that chance. The alternative is rolling dice(掷骰子) or picking phrases to create passwords, writing all of them down on a piece of paper or something, and then having to manually type them in when I go to

54、a site. A terrible mess.There is a free version of LastPass, with some additional features unlocked if you pay a $12 a year subscription. Joshua Bardwell 59. The writer thinks using the same password everywhere is . A. dangerous B. convenient C. appropriate D. adequate60. When using Lastpass, users

55、have to remember . A. all passwords usedB. the last password C. unique password each timeD. the master password only61. Critics are against Lastpass because . A. they have better ways to create password B. they think rolling dice is more convenient C. they have no faith in Lastpass databases safety D. Gawker media and Lastpass were hacked once62. Joshua Bardwell writes the passage to . A. share his experienceB. introduce a product of good quality C. advertise his productD. teach how to use a new productD While the presence of rats in homes may causeanxiet
