22、Are you still frustrated for forgetting passwords? Never again! There’s a way to choose and remember them with confidence.

【1】 It’s good exercise for your brain and a valuable way to protect your identity online. The system uses letters, numbers and symbols, so it will please even the strictest website. And the random-looking codes it produces would be extremely difficult for someone to crack, but just enough of a challenge for your brain.

First, choose a short quotation, one that no one would have any reason to associate with you. 【2】 So, if you chose “Play it again, Sam”, you’d have the letters PIAS. Next, choose a meaningful date again, one that can’t be guessed or easily researched. Maybe the year of a favorite holiday, “86,” say. 【3】 Finally, organize these building blocks in any order you like. And strengthen the code further by making some of the letters lower case and some upper: maybe 86&EPiAs.

Spend a little time getting to know this “foundation” for your passwords. “See” it in your mind’s eye. And then start using it as the basis for every new password you set. Add two or three extra letters each time, a few initials or abbreviations (缩写) to remind you of what this particular password is for. 【4】

So the final password for your BBC account could be: BBC86&EPiAs.

【5】 But each password ends up being complex and unique, helping to protect your identity and giving your memory a cracking workout every time.

A．Nothing is better than this.

B．What you should do is to follow a system.

C．We can remember them well if we often use the letters.

D．With a system like this, you’ve got a basic formula to follow.

E．Then add a random element by picking any two symbols like & and E.

F．Pick out the initial letters-creating the first “building block” for your passwords.

G．For example, you might use BT for your phone account or CC for the camera club forum.

24、My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper. I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember.

Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.

It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true — this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives.

So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort.

Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.

【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para. 1?

A．It was a good chance to learn science.

B．He must rise up to defend his profession.

C．It was a project organized by Toastmasters.

D．He couldn’t have people attacking science.

【4】What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech?

A．Passion can motive us to achieve the unachievable.

B．Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort.

C．Science can lead us to make wonderful changes.
