But something about my friend's words-"I can help organize the whole thing'”一stuck with me..I felt obliged(有义务的)to agree.in the weeks to come,I managed to re-enter the world of the living.I checked our team's website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total.I knew my mom would have wanted it that way.She was the type who never got defeated.It was this very spirit that helped me get by. When the race ended,I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces.They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in. So I enrolled in another race two months later.Considering I could barely run a mile,it was ambitious.But.my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn't come in last.I followed it religiously and didn't let anything get in my way. Running up and down the city's hitis,I was flooded with memories.I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often.I passed Bloomingdale's, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there. I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after 6 her diagnosis of cancer."I don't want you to feel guilty about anything."Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly.A weight lifted from my shoulders. When the race day arrived,I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me.As I ran,whenever I felt like slowing down,I pictured her cheering me on.

C The start-up that attracted the largest investment in the history of cybersecurity. of more than half a billion dollars,has a simple goal:a passwordless future. Despite the spread of password management software that can generate and remember complicated strings of random characters,some of the most common 7 passwords are still“12345”,“password''and“iloveyou?”.As a result,,more than80 percent of hacks involve these kinds of passwords;and passwords remain the most sought-after data by hackers,above other personal or sensitive information. In many cases,individuals are tricked into handing over password details by phishing emails and other social engineering techniques.Hackers have sought to break into apps and steal entire password databases as well.Passwords are also under attack from new technology,such as automated programs that can rapidly try to guess them,or can try stolen passwords on multiple online accounts. Since the need to replace the easily forgotten and highly hackable strings of letters and numbers that we use to access everyday life has become even more urgent,the race to replace the password is under way,with biometric-based 生物识别的)security emerging as one of the most sought--after solutions, According to Tieo,a union of more than 250 companies,which promotes a standard system of passwordless authentication(身份验证)，the vast majority of consumer services will offer passwordless login systems in the next couple of years. "If done correctly and safely,biometrics are really helping us move to a passwordless future in a rapid manner,"said Andrew Jenkinson,CEO of Tieo. But there are still risks associated with the use of biometric authentication. Unlike passwords,biometrics caunot be changed.Tlis means such data must be closely guarded for privacy purposes and to prevent spoofing-hackers trying to trick cameras or sensors with photos,or masks of their victim."Biometric authentication and passwordless authentication has its own attack surface,"said Paul Smith,director of security research at CyberPek.His team revealed that it had found a design problem which would allow potential attackers to bypass facial recognition login by injecting a spoofed photo of a user's face into the process. The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the start-ups hoping to kill the password is how to change years of habit.Eric Brown,founder of TAK Cyber,a cyber research and advisory company,argued that while sensitive applications may rapidly shift from passwords,other websites have less motivation to update their systems."You'll never get rid of them,"he said."We're never going to get to the post-password era." 38.What is the third paragraph mainly about? A.Why passwords are the most sought-after data. B.How passwords are stolen by phishing emails. C.How passwords have caused us trouble. D.Why passwords are difficult to secure. 39.What can we infer from the passage? A.Biometric authentication has its own set of problems B.Facial recognition login is the key to fighting hackers. C.TAK Cyber's login system guarantees the safety of data. D.Spoofing brings more problems than automated programs. 40.What is Eric Brown's attitude towards a passwordless future?

B Start-ups Race to Welcome a Passwordless Future The Argument to End Passwords Has Begun D.Killing the Password:A Cure or a Fantasy? D There is something to be said for being a generalist,even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole,well-lived life. Society pushes us to specialize,to become experts.This requires commitment to a particular occupation,branch of study or research.The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less.There is a great deal of pressure to master one's field.You may pursue training,degrees,or increasing levels of responsibility at work.Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up. Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom.These specialists could work at the office until ten each night,then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends,or traveled to exciting places,meeting interesting people.Mastering one thing to the 9 exclusion (of others can hold back your true spirit. Generalists,on the other hand,know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections.They are people of ability,talent,and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective (into specific fields of expertise ()The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills Things are connected.Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas.Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but.once you explore their depths,you discover that they arc.My editor Toni,who is also a writer,has edited several history books.She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter,she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy."I don't know where it will lead, but I'm excited I'm on this pursuit." These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives.We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe.Develop broad,general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy. 42.To become a specialist,one may have to A.narrow his range of knowledge B.broaden his perspective on life C.avoid responsibilities at work D.know more about the society 43.What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?
