I don't _______about the other eleven boys. Speaking for_______I can say :it was the most important single_______of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay's words, they_______seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a _______to measure ourselves rather than others.

Would会,将要;B. Must必须,一定;C. Should应该;D. Need需要;本句和后句“Should the___19___change received at the store be forgotten or returned?”是并列句。街上发现的钱包应该被放进自己的口袋还是要交给警察?情态动词should符合句意,询问人们究竟应该怎么做。故C项正确。 18.考查连词辨析。连词or通常用于疑问句和否定句,and通常用于肯定句。本句是一个疑问句,所以使用or连接,意为“或者,还是”。街上发现的钱包应该被放进自己的口袋还是要交给警察?故B项正确。 19.考查形容词辨析。A. extra额外的;B. small小的;C. some一些;D. necessary必要的;本句与前句是并列句。在商店里得到的额外的零钱应该被忘记还是还回去?A项与“对人的性格真正的测试是在无人知道的情况下你会怎么做”一致。故选择A项, 20.考查代词。除了你没有别人会知道!在这这种情况下,你所做的选择才可以真正的反映你的性格。根据句义可知C项正确。

2.

We often create so many user IDs but there are only a small number of passwords that you really need to remember.

If you can commit(交付) just a few to memory, you can hand the rest over to a password keeper to do the remembering for you.

Sign up for a password keeping service

3. You just need to encrypt(加密) your data and keep it in a safe server. Many password keepers require you to remember just one master password, which will give you access to the accounts you have chosen.

Write them down

“Just keep them in a safe place, such as a locked box,” says Internet security blogger Bruce Schneider. 4. Thus, it isn’ t entirely discouraged and can be an efficient back-up plan when all else fails.

Work on your memory
