The first Thursday in May is World Password Day, but don't buy a cake or send cards. Computer chip maker Intel created the event as an annual reminder. .
The purpose of a password is to limit access to information. Having a very common or simple one like "abcdef" or even normal words like "password", is barely any security at all. . Hackers' password cracking tools take advantage of this lack of creativity and get in our accounts easily. More experienced users would choose a less common password. However, they might still fall victim to cracking software.
? A secure password is all that stands between us and a cybercriminal. It should be unique and complex, which a hacker can't easily guess or crack. The best passwords are supposed to be at least 15 characters long and full of random numbers and letters. However, a long password means a complicated process to log into a website. . You may want to write it down, but it is not suggested due to risk.
Then what should we do? . You can choose a phrase such as "I want to go to England." Next, convert it to an abbreviation (缩略语) by using the first letters of each word and changing the word "to" to "2". Then you get following password phrase: iw2g2e. You can make it even more complex by adding punctuation, spaces or symbols: %iw_2g2e!@. It is much easier to remember and safer.
Can't wait to try? Let's say goodbye to "666666" and change your password right now.
A. What do network security experts do
B. Try using shortened phrases for passwords
C. How can we ensure the safety of a password
D. Changing password regularly is an effective way
E. That is like closing a door but not actually locking it
F. It is used to say farewell to popular passwords like "123456"
G. And it is also difficult for us to remember a long irregular password
I love Fridays. And so I celebrate Fridays.
After dropping my son off at school I head to Starbucks to pick up a coffee treat or another. Then instead of driving straight home I take a long route through the most beautiful roads I can find. I see footballs being passed on lawns, hamburgers being thrown on grill（烤架）, and parties everywhere swinging into action.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
The o0ther day I came out from the doctor's office happy over a positive prognosis（预断）. Seeing the signs of spring around me-flowers, birds, sunshine, I was suddenly ready to celebrate. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
My mind rebelled. “What are you doing? It's Tuesday! Coffee treats are reserved for Fridays!”{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Why should Fridays be any more special than any other day of the week? Why waste six days while waiting to celebrate the seventh? Minutes later I was walking back to my car with a big smile on my face and a coffee in my hand.
A small victory, to be sure, but it's also an accurate example of how many of us live our lives. We're waiting for conditions to be right before we allow ourselves to enjoy our time here on earth. Maybe when we finally graduate from college and get a job, it will be time to celebrate, or perhaps when our babies are old enough to be in school all day. We'll celebrate when the car is paid off, or enjoy life when we're finally able to retire. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} What if we moved a little of that “Friday feeling” into our rainy-day Mondays, our dull Tuesday and our mid-week Wednesdays? {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
A. You must spend more time achieving it. B. Surely our lives would be much happier as a result. C. It seems as if the whole world is celebrating Friday! D. But suddenly I realize how ridiculous that line of thinking was! E. Find an excuse to celebrate and start sending out hose invitations. F. I headed for the coffee bar that was located just around the corner. G. And in that waiting we waste so much of life and happiness that can be found in our Todays. |

A. People think differently from me. B. It taught me disagreements are unnecessary. C. It took a lot of listening, patience and effort. D. The comment was focused on my upbringing. E. He then asked what l would be studying here. F. I was excited and terrified but tried to act bravely. G. In a way, I'm thankful that I had to take those extra steps from the first day. |
I am a Korean-American growing up in Korea. My delayed first day at Wheaton College was my first time in the U.S. in more than 10 years.
From my first time eating at Chipotle to the endless variety of Scotch tapes on display at Target, culture shock affected me deeply. I was flooded with the rush of Starbucks caffeine (咖啡因). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
On that first day to-do list was a job interview for a worker position. The interviewer asked where l was from. Seoul. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} English literature. He said, "Oh, you must be enthusiastic about coming all the way here to study English from Korea'!"
That comment annoyed me, in a way I couldn't describe then. It's clearer now: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} The interviewer was measuring my passion without knowing anything about me, only based on where l was coming from.
That interview was a small example of what came after that first day of college, but I hesitate to tell the story because some people who made ridiculously ignorant (无知的) comments ended up being my good friends. This wasn't easy. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Through them, I learned to express my feelings clearly in words. To them, I owe this story.
We get to know some people and others we don't. We make decisions to involve in conversations or not. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} otherwise, I would have stayed in my bubble, meeting only people who say things that sound right.
