24、in as many weeks and I recognize Beths voice immediately.

And its recommended to change passwords often. But come on. Making it impossible for others to access
27、 your life only makes living your life impossible. Surveys indicate that most people use the same one or two passwords for everything. After all, its not easy to produce something casual, yet memorable. “When the information doesnt apply to anything in the real world, its very hard to get from the b
28、rain,“ says Albert Katz, a psychology professor. Thats why some are shifting to picture passwords. Since the pictures cant be written clown or shared with another person, theyre more secure. And pictures, says Katz, are easier for the human brain to remember than numbers and letters.Better still is

But poor Beth will remain my Internet-banking savior. “All you need to do,“ says Beth, “is to tell me the secret password you set up for security purposes. “ What? If I cant remember my PIN, how do you expect me to remember some secret wo

34、y that hasnt found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,“ says Dr David. Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest.The beginning of our sleep-deficit crisis can be traced to the invention of the light bulb a century ago. From diary entries
35、and other personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night. “The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark. “ By th
36、e 1950s and 1960s, that sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. “People cheat on their sleep, and they dont even realize theyre doing it,“ says Dr David. “They think theyre okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours, whe
37、n they really need 7.5,8 hours or even more to feel ideally vigorous. “Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep, researchers say, is the complexity of the day. When ever pressures from work, family, friends and community mount, many people consider sleep the least expensive item on his programme.
38、“In our society, youre considered dynamic if you say you only need 5.5 hours sleep. If youve got to get 8. 5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition. “To determine the consequences of sleep deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring
39、them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier. “Weve found that if youre in sleep deficit, performance suffers,“ says Dr David. “Short-term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate. /（分数：10.00）(1).People in the 18

44、feel energetic and perform adequately九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations. Later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic and that was where we stuck, in surgical instrument terms; for many years. In the
45、 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to revolutionize the art and science of surgery.The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world, for a ver
46、y large number of different complaints. The word “laser“ means: light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. As we all know, light is hot, any source of light from the sun itself down to a humble match burning will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light
47、in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam.Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources p
48、roduce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of the human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right through the eyeball. No knives, no stitches, no unwanted damage a true surgical w
49、onder. Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. So much more difficult operations can now be tried.The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective. Altogether, tomorrow may see more and more informa
