One thing is to distinguish healthy and unhealthy humor. Unhealthy humor usually has a victim. It is based on differences. Healthy

14、 humor is taken from our everyday experiences and is based on the things people have in common. Therefore it unites them. Another thing is that when sharing humor with the audience a speaker has to take into account what part of the day it is. The “morning“ audience can be tough, because everyone is

15、 just getting into work; the “lunch“ audience is better, but the best time for sharing humor is dinner-time, because people relax after their working day and are more likely to feel the speaker. There are certain rules that ate strongly advised to be followed. The primary rule is not to offend anybo

16、dy by a joke. The jokes ate not supposed to relate to the audience but to the speaker himself. When a speaker shares his personal stories he will be better accepted by the audience. He can kid about his fame, problems, image, etc. However, he does not have to belittle himself or sacrifice his reputa

17、tion for a laugh. Besides, the jokes and humorous stories that are used by the speaker have to relate directly to the topic of his speech. The speaker is supposed to speak clearly and keep from laughing at his own story or joke while telling it, so that be can make it clear and to the point. Finally

18、, once a joke is said it may not be repeated once more. So the speaker must not repeat a joke that fails or one that works. And, remember these tips always work: personal jokes, short remarks that go well with the speech, good choice of vivid words and appropriate body gestures. 16 Healthy humor dif

It is starting to seem like it. Everybody hates them. These days a typical Internet user has dozens

22、of online accounts. If you really want to bu safe, you need to generate a different password for each one, and each password needs to extremely complicated, with a mix of letters, symbols, and numbers. Who can keep all stuff in their head?Most people do not bother. Some just create one password and

23、use it everywhere. Others might have a few passwordone for all their banking and financial stuff, one for their social networks, one for email accounts. Problem is that if one site gets hacked, the bad guys now have the password you use elsewhere. There attacks are happening so frequently there days

24、 that you might as well assume there is no way to keep a password secret. Computer scientists realize the system is broken, and they are looking for alternatives. But most attempts have not been very good. Fingerprint readers require special hardware, and many people find them scary and dont want to

25、 use them. Smart cards can be lost or stolen. Scientists have tried all sorts of other approaches, but they end up back with pass words. They are the least worst in a series of bad choices.

If your

27、 mind goes totally blank, the fastwords system will tell You one of the three words, which should enable you to remember the original Thought and thus the three keywords. The fastwords system represents a step in the right direction, but it is not the promised land. Someone, somehow, needs to come u
