Stuttering is still one of the great 52 .I’ve been stuttering for forty years and still can’t explain it. 53 ,I,just like any person who stutters,have my good days and bad days and everything in between.

I know that I shouldn’t feed my two daughters,who are eight and twelve,dinner at 7∶30.It’s too late.And so,as few weeks ago,faced with yet another late meal,my younger daughter fell into one of those anger situations.Annoyed at a perceived inequity in housework distribution,she put forcefully my glass of soda onto the counter,somewhat splattering(飞溅) the liquid onto the floor and me.She told me,“You’re not being nice!You’re being a stupid old parent who knows nothing!”
Shortly after this,I came across a study in which men and women stuck pins into dolls as a measure of their annoyance with their spouses(配偶).The researchers found that the subjects were more likely to stick in lots of pins when their glucose(葡萄糖) level was low.I was interested—the findings seemed to explain my experience with my kids,and offered a clear solution:eat regularly,enhance self-control.The study got a lot of attention—stories on the “Today” show,ABC News,NPR,and lots of newspapers around the world.The Ohio State psychologist Brad Bushman,who led the study,says,“With less glucose the brake on self-control is weakened.”
But do we really know what we think we know about blood sugar and the brain?For years,the University of Pennsylvania psychology researcher Robert Kurzban has been watching the glucose theory store positive press.He finds this deeply frustrating.“It’s a very entertaining idea,” he says,“but as a scientist I feel like we should think about whether it is correct.”
Kurzban and scientists don’t deny that hunger affects mood.This is obvious,they say.But it doesn’t prove that glucose fuels self-control,or that low glucose causes a failure of self-control.Kurzban told me,the brain rarely runs short of glucose.Although it uses more calories than most other organs,the brain doesn’t consume that much energy—a little more than ten calories an hour.In a study published in 2012,the Northwestern University social psychologist Daniel Molden found that mental activity doesn’t consume extra glucose.
To be fair,even the supporters of the glucose idea agree that self-control is multifaceted(多方面的) and not only regulated by glucose.But to Molden,giving so much weight to glucose can lead to incorrect strategies for activating self-control in real life.It minimizes the fact that humans,with their big,complex brains,have a unique ability to direct their own behavior and override(不顾) their own impulses(冲动).“You can’t throw fuel at self-control problems,” he says.“Talking about motivation,helping people focus,that’s not easy,but it can work.It is much more effective than giving people snacks.”
58.The author’s younger daughter behaved badly because she .
A.considered the author not clever
B.felt she had been unfairly treated
C.didn’t thought the author was friendly to her
D.was very full but the author continued to feed her dinner
59.What can be learned from the third paragraph?
A.Kurzban doubts the glucose theory.
B.Kurzban finds the glucose theory interesting.
C.Brad Bushman wins fame on the glucose theory.
D.Brad Bushman’s theory doesn’t deserve attention.
60.The underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably means “the brain ”.
A.is fairly short of glucose
B.seldom lacks glucose
C.rarely interacts with glucose
D.works well without glucose
C
At the end of the last ice age,around 11,700 years ago,Earth’s climate began warming rapidly.As the planet heated up,its vast glaciers(冰川) fell back.Almost immediately afterwards volcanic activity surged.That was nothing new.The geological record has plenty of evidence of big glacial withdrawals that are followed by more frequent volcanic eruptions.
This,at least,is the case for really big climatic swings.What has been less clear is whether more modest changes in ice cover might also affect the rate of eruptions.Given that humans are busy warming the planet,and therefore shrinking the few,relatively small glaciers that still exist,this question matters.It would be good to know if more volcanic eruptions might be another consequence of global warming.In a paper just published in Geology,Graeme Swindles,a geographer at the University of Leeds,suggests that it will—eventually.
The fine details of how glaciers are linked to volcanic eruptions are unknown.But volcanologists’ theory is that the weight of large ice sheets presses the crust(地壳) and mantle(地幔) below.That closes up channels within the rock through which magma(岩浆) travels towards the surface.It also leaves less room for surface water to make its way down into the rocks,where,as steam,it can increase the pressure within magma spaces.Remove the ice,by contrast,and those processes go into reverse.
Dr.Swindles and his colleagues studied layers of ash from Icelandic volcanoes that were deposited over Iceland and northern Europe during the relatively mild period since the end of the ice age,as well as volcanic deposits from Iceland itself.Their analysis revealed an unusual period between 5,500 and 4,500 years ago when no ash from Icelandic volcanoes found its way to Europe,and when the deposit record from Iceland suggests that no major eruptions took place.When Dr.Swindles compared the volcanic record with the climate literature,he found that the absence of eruptions was preceded by a big change in atmospheric circulation patterns about 6,100 years ago.That would have encouraged Iceland’s glaciers to advance.When conditions changed again a thousand years later,this time to favor glacial withdrawals,volcanic activity picked up after a few hundred years.
Based upon these findings,Dr.Swindles argues that even minor increases and decreases in glacier cover probably do affect volcanic activity,although with a fairly interval of perhaps five or six hundred years.The modern world is already recovering from its own miniature glaciation,the “Little Ice Age”,which lasted from about 1500 to 1850.Combine that with yet more glacial melt,caused this time by human-driven warming,and the centuries ahead may be noticeably fiercer than those of the recent past.
61.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A.Volcanoes tend to erupt more frequently in the absence of glaciers.
B.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and destructive.
C.Before the last ice age,there were seldom volcanic eruptions.
D.Frequent volcanic eruptions have melted many glaciers.
62.Dr.Swindles’ study is mainly to figure out whether .
A.small changes in glaciers produce an effect on volcanic activity
B.global warming is primarily caused by volcanic eruptions
C.big climate changes will cause more volcanic explosions
D.volcanic records and climate literature are authentic
63.According to Paragraph 3,the connection between glaciers and volcanic eruptions is .
A.rock B.water
C.pressure D.temperature
64.According to Dr.Swindles’ study,what will probably happen after hundreds of years?
A.There will be an ice age after the Earth cools down.
B.Volcanoes will break out even more fiercely.
C.Volcanic eruptions will be under control.
D.There will be no glaciers on the Earth.

At 88,I remain a competitive runner.The finish line of my life is drawing close,and I hope to reach it having given the best of myself along the way.I’ve been training my body to meet the demands of this final stretch.But,I wonder,should I have asked more of my mind?
If I didn’t exercise,I would release the hungry beasts that seek their elderly prey on couches,but not in the gym.The more I sweated,the more likely it was my doctor would continue to say,“Keep doing what you’re doing,and I’ll see you next year.” My mind,on the other hand,seems less willing to give in to discipline.I have tried Internet “brain games”,solving algebraic problems flashing past and changing the route of virtual trains to avoid crashes.But these never approach my determination to remain physically fit as I move deeper into old age.
Despite having many friends in their 70s,80s and 90s,I’ve been far too slow to realize that how we respond to aging is a choice made in the mind,not in the gym.Some of my healthiest friends carry themselves as victims abused by time.Other friends,many whose aching knees and hips are the least of their physical problems,find comfort in their ability to accept old age as just another stage of life to deal with.I would use the word “heroic” to describe the way they cope with aging.
One such friend recently called from a hospital to tell me a sudden brain disease had made him legally blind.He interrupted me as I began telling him how terribly sorry I was: “Bob,it could have been worse.I could have become dead instead of blind.”
Despite all the time I spend lifting weights and exercising,I realized I lack the strength to have said those words.It suddenly struck me that I’ve paid a price for being a “gym rat”.If there is one characteristic common to friends who are aging with a graceful acceptance of life’s attacks,it is contentment.Aging had to be more than what I saw in a mirror.
But rather than undertaking a fundamental change in the way I face aging,I felt the place to begin would be to start small.A recent lunch provided a perfect example.
I’ve always found it extremely difficult to concentrate when I’m in a noisy setting.At this lunch with a friend in an outdoor restaurant,a landscaper began blowing leaves from underneath the bushes surrounding our table.Typically,after such a noisy interruption,I would have snapped,“Let’s wait until he’s finished!” then fallen silent.When the roar(吼叫) eventually faded,my roar would have drained(消耗) the conversation of any warmth.It troubled me that even a passing distraction (分心) could so easily take me from enjoying lunch with a good friend to a place that gave me no pleasure at all.I wanted this meal to be different.
My years in gyms had taught me to shake off pains and other distractions,never permitting them to stop my workout or run.I decided to treat the noise this way.I continued talking with my friend,challenging myself to hear the noise,but to hold it at a distance.The discipline was so familiar to me in the gym—this time applied to my mind—proved equally effective in the restaurant.It was as though I had taken my brain to a mental fitness center.
Learning to ignore a leaf blower’s roar hardly equips me to find contentment during my passage into ever-deeper old age.But I left the lunch feeling I had at least taken a small first step in changing behavior that stood in the way of that contentment.
Could I employ that same discipline to accept with dignity the inevitable decline awaiting me like the finish line? Hoping that contentment will guide me as I make my way along the path yet to be traveled.
65.The author’s question in Paragraph 1 implies that .
A.he has never believed the necessity of mind training
B.he has realized he should mentally prepare for aging
C.he feels regret for not sharpening his thinking skills
D.he feels unsatisfied with the result of the brain games
66.The author uses his friends as examples to .
A.stress aging is an unavoidable stage of life to face
B.indicate that people see life from many different angles
C.prove it’s significant to be surrounded with positive friends
D.show it’s important to take health seriously in a sensible way
67.What can we learn from the author’s friend mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.He fears that his illness will become worse.
B.He takes physical illnesses as they come.
C.He needs to find a way through those hardships.
D.He sees life as a series of disappointments.
68.After that recent lunch,the author realized that .
A.distractions were not uncommon in everyday life
B.the restaurant was not an ideal place for eating
C.his roar had spoiled the friendly conversation
D.he had made small changes to adapt to aging
69.What’s the author’s attitude towards exercising in the end?
A.Doubtful. B.Indifferent.
C.Positive. D.Ambiguous.
70.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.Old Age Curse and Blessing
B.The Secret to Aging Well
C.Benefits of Regular Exercise
D.Never Too Old to Learn
第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Unless you are like Nasty Gal’s founder Sophia Amoruso,the passwords you use to access your email and the endless other accounts you need for work aren’t filled with intention.With increasing security requirements,it’s likely your word/number combinations are becoming even less memorable.But new research suggests it may not be long before you won’t need to memorize passwords.
“Brainprint”,published in Neurocomputing,reveals that the brain’s reaction to certain words could be a unique identifying code—like a fingerprint—that could eventually replace passwords.
In a small experiment,the researchers measured the brains’ signals of 45 volunteers as they read through a list of 75 acronyms such as FBI and DVD.The word-recognition response differed so much between each participant that a second experiment using a computer program could identify each one with 94% accuracy.
It’s not enough to feel totally secure,but promising enough to hint at the future of securing sensitive information.
The advantage of using such a biometric system(生物识别系统) is that it can be used for continuous verification(验证),New Scientist points out.Passwords or fingerprints only provide a tool for one-off identification.Continuous verification could in theory allow someone to interact with many computer systems at the same time or even with a variety of intelligent objects,without having to repeatedly enter passwords for each device.
As Hollywood has illustrated,it’s simply a matter of cutting off a finger to steal that person’s identity.“Brainprints,on the other hand,are potentially cancellable,” said Sarah Laszlo,assistant professor of psychology and linguistics at Binghamton University and co-author of the study,“So,in the unlikely event that an attacker was actually able to steal a brainprint from an authorized user,the authorized user could then ‘reset’ their brainprint.”
Until now,brain signals have been a challenge to understand.This experiment leaped over the obstacle by focusing on the brainwaves from the specific area that reads and recognizes words.The signal is therefore clearer and easier to measure.
The problem,so far,is that the brain signal is still not as accurate as scanning someone’s fingerprint,and initially requires sticking diodes(二极管) on your head in order to get a read.That’s OK,according to Zhanpeng Jin,assistant professor at Binghamton University and co-author of the study,because brainprint isn’t going to be mass-produced any time soon.He says the researchers foresee its use at places such as the Pentagon,where the number of authorized users is small,and they don’t need to be continuously verified the way you do to access your mobile device or email.
Better keep your memory sharp,at least a little while longer.
Present situation
Chances are that your passwords are becoming more 71. to remember.
One experiment
A small experiment shows that the word-recognition response differed a great deal between each participant,virtually 72. brainprint a promising future.
73. of using such system
•You can use it to 74. the device continuously without having to repeatedly enter passwords.
•The authorized user could “reset” their brainprint in the face of 75. because brainprints are potentially cancellable.
•Brain signals are now clearer and easier to measure by focusing on the brainwaves from the specific area.
76. of using such system
The brain signal is 77. accurate than scanning someone’s fingerprint.But that’s OK because brainprint is only going to be used on a small 78. ,such as at places like the Pentagon.
Conclusions
•Maybe there is no need for you to memorize passwords in the near future as brainprint—like a fingerprint—could eventually take the 79. of passwords.
•It is 80. to keep your memory sharp at least for a short period of time!

It is important to note that employers expect individuals to use their imaginations to develop their ideal job descriptions.Therefore,individuals are free to deliver descriptions that are a little more attractive than the job they are applying for.For example,an interview candidate for an outside sales position can list her ideal job as one that allows her to travel every day,give sales presentations to managers and company owners,and close at a specific number of sales per day.However,it is acceptable for the interview candidate to also paint a visual picture of her “dream” clients and co-workers that would maximize her chances of success and contentment within her job position.

It is important for us to describe our ideal jobs.A salesman travels every day and promotes products or services to different people.The more he sells,the more successful he feels.
There are various kinds of jobs,but different people are attracted by different jobs because everyone has his own interest and destination.Many people consider an ideal job as a means of making more money and living more comfortably.Others insist on seeking for jobs interesting and meaningful to meet their spiritual needs.
As far as my ideal job is concerned,I want to be a psychologist.I have made up my mind to realize my dream.I have been interested in psychology for a long time.I believe being a psychologist can help lots of people lead a happier life.
However,it isn’t easy for me to become a qualified psychologist.Apart from studying hard,I need to widen knowledge in the specialized field.I’ll make every effort to live up to the name of a qualified psychologist.

I know that I shouldn’t feed my two daughters,who are eight and twelve,dinner at 7∶30.It’s too late.And so,as few weeks ago,faced with yet another late meal,my younger daughter fell into one of those anger situations.Annoyed at a perceived inequity in housework distribution,she put forcefully my glass of soda onto the counter,somewhat splattering(飞溅) the liquid onto the floor and me.She told me,“You’re not being nice!You’re being a stupid old parent who knows nothing!”
Shortly after this,I came across a study in which men and women stuck pins into dolls as a measure of their annoyance with their spouses(配偶).The researchers found that the subjects were more likely to stick in lots of pins when their glucose(葡萄糖) level was low.I was interested—the findings seemed to explain my experience with my kids,and offered a clear solution:eat regularly,enhance self-control.The study got a lot of attention—stories on the “Today” show,ABC News,NPR,and lots of newspapers around the world.The Ohio State psychologist Brad Bushman,who led the study,says,“With less glucose the brake on self-control is weakened.”
But do we really know what we think we know about blood sugar and the brain?For years,the University of Pennsylvania psychology researcher Robert Kurzban has been watching the glucose theory store positive press.He finds this deeply frustrating.“It’s a very entertaining idea,” he says,“but as a scientist I feel like we should think about whether it is correct.”
Kurzban and scientists don’t deny that hunger affects mood.This is obvious,they say.But it doesn’t prove that glucose fuels self-control,or that low glucose causes a failure of self-control.Kurzban told me,the brain rarely runs short of glucose.Although it uses more calories than most other organs,the brain doesn’t consume that much energy—a little more than ten calories an hour.In a study published in 2012,the Northwestern University social psychologist Daniel Molden found that mental activity doesn’t consume extra glucose.
To be fair,even the supporters of the glucose idea agree that self-control is multifaceted(多方面的) and not only regulated by glucose.But to Molden,giving so much weight to glucose can lead to incorrect strategies for activating self-control in real life.It minimizes the fact that humans,with their big,complex brains,have a unique ability to direct their own behavior and override(不顾) their own impulses(冲动).“You can’t throw fuel at self-control problems,” he says.“Talking about motivation,helping people focus,that’s not easy,but it can work.It is much more effective than giving people snacks.”
58.The author’s younger daughter behaved badly because she .
A.considered the author not clever
B.felt she had been unfairly treated
C.didn’t thought the author was friendly to her
D.was very full but the author continued to feed her dinner
59.What can be learned from the third paragraph?
A.Kurzban doubts the glucose theory.
B.Kurzban finds the glucose theory interesting.
C.Brad Bushman wins fame on the glucose theory.
D.Brad Bushman’s theory doesn’t deserve attention.
60.The underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably means “the brain ”.
A.is fairly short of glucose
B.seldom lacks glucose
C.rarely interacts with glucose
D.works well without glucose
C
At the end of the last ice age,around 11,700 years ago,Earth’s climate began warming rapidly.As the planet heated up,its vast glaciers(冰川) fell back.Almost immediately afterwards volcanic activity surged.That was nothing new.The geological record has plenty of evidence of big glacial withdrawals that are followed by more frequent volcanic eruptions.
This,at least,is the case for really big climatic swings.What has been less clear is whether more modest changes in ice cover might also affect the rate of eruptions.Given that humans are busy warming the planet,and therefore shrinking the few,relatively small glaciers that still exist,this question matters.It would be good to know if more volcanic eruptions might be another consequence of global warming.In a paper just published in Geology,Graeme Swindles,a geographer at the University of Leeds,suggests that it will—eventually.
The fine details of how glaciers are linked to volcanic eruptions are unknown.But volcanologists’ theory is that the weight of large ice sheets presses the crust(地壳) and mantle(地幔) below.That closes up channels within the rock through which magma(岩浆) travels towards the surface.It also leaves less room for surface water to make its way down into the rocks,where,as steam,it can increase the pressure within magma spaces.Remove the ice,by contrast,and those processes go into reverse.
Dr.Swindles and his colleagues studied layers of ash from Icelandic volcanoes that were deposited over Iceland and northern Europe during the relatively mild period since the end of the ice age,as well as volcanic deposits from Iceland itself.Their analysis revealed an unusual period between 5,500 and 4,500 years ago when no ash from Icelandic volcanoes found its way to Europe,and when the deposit record from Iceland suggests that no major eruptions took place.When Dr.Swindles compared the volcanic record with the climate literature,he found that the absence of eruptions was preceded by a big change in atmospheric circulation patterns about 6,100 years ago.That would have encouraged Iceland’s glaciers to advance.When conditions changed again a thousand years later,this time to favor glacial withdrawals,volcanic activity picked up after a few hundred years.
Based upon these findings,Dr.Swindles argues that even minor increases and decreases in glacier cover probably do affect volcanic activity,although with a fairly interval of perhaps five or six hundred years.The modern world is already recovering from its own miniature glaciation,the “Little Ice Age”,which lasted from about 1500 to 1850.Combine that with yet more glacial melt,caused this time by human-driven warming,and the centuries ahead may be noticeably fiercer than those of the recent past.
61.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A.Volcanoes tend to erupt more frequently in the absence of glaciers.
B.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and destructive.
C.Before the last ice age,there were seldom volcanic eruptions.
D.Frequent volcanic eruptions have melted many glaciers.
62.Dr.Swindles’ study is mainly to figure out whether .
A.small changes in glaciers produce an effect on volcanic activity
B.global warming is primarily caused by volcanic eruptions
C.big climate changes will cause more volcanic explosions
D.volcanic records and climate literature are authentic
63.According to Paragraph 3,the connection between glaciers and volcanic eruptions is .
A.rock B.water
C.pressure D.temperature
64.According to Dr.Swindles’ study,what will probably happen after hundreds of years?
A.There will be an ice age after the Earth cools down.
B.Volcanoes will break out even more fiercely.
C.Volcanic eruptions will be under control.
D.There will be no glaciers on the Earth.

At 88,I remain a competitive runner.The finish line of my life is drawing close,and I hope to reach it having given the best of myself along the way.I’ve been training my body to meet the demands of this final stretch.But,I wonder,should I have asked more of my mind?
If I didn’t exercise,I would release the hungry beasts that seek their elderly prey on couches,but not in the gym.The more I sweated,the more likely it was my doctor would continue to say,“Keep doing what you’re doing,and I’ll see you next year.” My mind,on the other hand,seems less willing to give in to discipline.I have tried Internet “brain games”,solving algebraic problems flashing past and changing the route of virtual trains to avoid crashes.But these never approach my determination to remain physically fit as I move deeper into old age.
Despite having many friends in their 70s,80s and 90s,I’ve been far too slow to realize that how we respond to aging is a choice made in the mind,not in the gym.Some of my healthiest friends carry themselves as victims abused by time.Other friends,many whose aching knees and hips are the least of their physical problems,find comfort in their ability to accept old age as just another stage of life to deal with.I would use the word “heroic” to describe the way they cope with aging.
One such friend recently called from a hospital to tell me a sudden brain disease had made him legally blind.He interrupted me as I began telling him how terribly sorry I was: “Bob,it could have been worse.I could have become dead instead of blind.”
Despite all the time I spend lifting weights and exercising,I realized I lack the strength to have said those words.It suddenly struck me that I’ve paid a price for being a “gym rat”.If there is one characteristic common to friends who are aging with a graceful acceptance of life’s attacks,it is contentment.Aging had to be more than what I saw in a mirror.
But rather than undertaking a fundamental change in the way I face aging,I felt the place to begin would be to start small.A recent lunch provided a perfect example.
I’ve always found it extremely difficult to concentrate when I’m in a noisy setting.At this lunch with a friend in an outdoor restaurant,a landscaper began blowing leaves from underneath the bushes surrounding our table.Typically,after such a noisy interruption,I would have snapped,“Let’s wait until he’s finished!” then fallen silent.When the roar(吼叫) eventually faded,my roar would have drained(消耗) the conversation of any warmth.It troubled me that even a passing distraction (分心) could so easily take me from enjoying lunch with a good friend to a place that gave me no pleasure at all.I wanted this meal to be different.
My years in gyms had taught me to shake off pains and other distractions,never permitting them to stop my workout or run.I decided to treat the noise this way.I continued talking with my friend,challenging myself to hear the noise,but to hold it at a distance.The discipline was so familiar to me in the gym—this time applied to my mind—proved equally effective in the restaurant.It was as though I had taken my brain to a mental fitness center.
Learning to ignore a leaf blower’s roar hardly equips me to find contentment during my passage into ever-deeper old age.But I left the lunch feeling I had at least taken a small first step in changing behavior that stood in the way of that contentment.
Could I employ that same discipline to accept with dignity the inevitable decline awaiting me like the finish line? Hoping that contentment will guide me as I make my way along the path yet to be traveled.
65.The author’s question in Paragraph 1 implies that .
A.he has never believed the necessity of mind training
B.he has realized he should mentally prepare for aging
C.he feels regret for not sharpening his thinking skills
D.he feels unsatisfied with the result of the brain games

A.stress aging is an unavoidable stage of life to face
B.indicate that people see life from many different angles
C.prove it’s significant to be surrounded with positive friends
D.show it’s important to take health seriously in a sensible way

A.He fears that his illness will become worse.
B.He takes physical illnesses as they come.
C.He needs to find a way through those hardships.
D.He sees life as a series of disappointments.
68.After that recent lunch,the author realized that .
A.distractions were not uncommon in everyday life
B.the restaurant was not an ideal place for eating
C.his roar had spoiled the friendly conversation
D.he had made small changes to adapt to aging

C.Positive. D.Ambiguous.
70.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.Old Age Curse and Blessing

Unless you are like Nasty Gal’s founder Sophia Amoruso,the passwords you use to access your email and the endless other accounts you need for work aren’t filled with intention.With increasing security requirements,it’s likely your word/number combinations are becoming even less memorable.But new research suggests it may not be long before you won’t need to memorize passwords.
“Brainprint”,published in Neurocomputing,reveals that the brain’s reaction to certain words could be a unique identifying code—like a fingerprint—that could eventually replace passwords.
In a small experiment,the researchers measured the brains’ signals of 45 volunteers as they read through a list of 75 acronyms such as FBI and DVD.The word-recognition response differed so much between each participant that a second experiment using a computer program could identify each one with 94% accuracy.
It’s not enough to feel totally secure,but promising enough to hint at the future of securing sensitive information.
The advantage of using such a biometric system(生物识别系统) is that it can be used for continuous verification(验证),New Scientist points out.Passwords or fingerprints only provide a tool for one-off identification.Continuous verification could in theory allow someone to interact with many computer systems at the same time or even with a variety of intelligent objects,without having to repeatedly enter passwords for each device.
As Hollywood has illustrated,it’s simply a matter of cutting off a finger to steal that person’s identity.“Brainprints,on the other hand,are potentially cancellable,” said Sarah Laszlo,assistant professor of psychology and linguistics at Binghamton University and co-author of the study,“So,in the unlikely event that an attacker was actually able to steal a brainprint from an authorized user,the authorized user could then ‘reset’ their brainprint.”
Until now,brain signals have been a challenge to understand.This experiment leaped over the obstacle by focusing on the brainwaves from the specific area that reads and recognizes words.The signal is therefore clearer and easier to measure.
The problem,so far,is that the brain signal is still not as accurate as scanning someone’s fingerprint,and initially requires sticking diodes(二极管) on your head in order to get a read.That’s OK,according to Zhanpeng Jin,assistant professor at Binghamton University and co-author of the study,because brainprint isn’t going to be mass-produced any time soon.He says the researchers foresee its use at places such as the Pentagon,where the number of authorized users is small,and they don’t need to be continuously verified the way you do to access your mobile device or email.
Better keep your memory sharp,at least a little while longer.
Present situation
Chances are that your passwords are becoming more 71. to remember.
One experiment
A small experiment shows that the word-recognition response differed a great deal between each participant,virtually 72. brainprint a promising future.
73. of using such system
•You can use it to 74. the device continuously without having to repeatedly enter passwords.
•The authorized user could “reset” their brainprint in the face of 75. because brainprints are potentially cancellable.
•Brain signals are now clearer and easier to measure by focusing on the brainwaves from the specific area.
76. of using such system
The brain signal is 77. accurate than scanning someone’s fingerprint.But that’s OK because brainprint is only going to be used on a small 78. ,such as at places like the Pentagon.
Conclusions
•Maybe there is no need for you to memorize passwords in the near future as brainprint—like a fingerprint—could eventually take the 79. of passwords.
•It is 80. to keep your memory sharp at least for a short period of time!

It is important to note that employers expect individuals to use their imaginations to develop their ideal job descriptions.Therefore,individuals are free to deliver descriptions that are a little more attractive than the job they are applying for.For example,an interview candidate for an outside sales position can list her ideal job as one that allows her to travel every day,give sales presentations to managers and company owners,and close at a specific number of sales per day.However,it is acceptable for the interview candidate to also paint a visual picture of her “dream” clients and co-workers that would maximize her chances of success and contentment within her job position.

It is important for us to describe our ideal jobs.A salesman travels every day and promotes products or services to different people.The more he sells,the more successful he feels.
There are various kinds of jobs,but different people are attracted by different jobs because everyone has his own interest and destination.Many people consider an ideal job as a means of making more money and living more comfortably.Others insist on seeking for jobs interesting and meaningful to meet their spiritual needs.
