Yu’ll need t create a passwrd (密码) t d just abut everything n the Web, such as checking yur email, banking nline, lgging in WeChat and s n. And while it’s simpler t use a shrt, easy-t-remember passwrd, this can als cause serius risks (风险) t yur nline safety. T prtect yurself and yur infrmatin, yu’ll want t use passwrds that are lng, strng, and difficult fr smene else t guess, while still keeping them easy fr yu t remember.
A strng passwrd is ne that’s easy fr yu t remember but difficult fr thers t guess. Let’s take a lk at sme f the mst imprtant things t think when setting (设置) a passwrd. First, never use persnal infrmatin such as yur name, birthday, user’s name, r email address. This type f infrmatin is ften publicly available (可获得的), which makes it easier fr smene t guess yur passwrd. Secnd, use a lnger passwrd. Yur passwrds shuld be at least six characters (符号) lng r even lnger. Then, dn’t use the same passwrd fr each accunt (账户). If smene discvers yur passwrd fr ne accunt, all f yur ther accunts will be in danger.
Yu can try t use numbers, symbls, and bth capital (大写) and small letters (字母). Yu have t avid using wrds that can be fund in the dictinary. Like “swimming”, it wuld be a weak passwrd. S randm (随机的) passwrds are the strngest.
Instead f writing yur passwrds n paper like bks r ntebks where smene might find them, yu can use a passwrd manager (a kind f App) t keep them safely nline. Passwrd managers can remember and enter yur passwrd n different websites. That means yu wn’t have t remember lnger passwrds. S it is a gd and safe way t keep yur passwrds.
22．The underlined wrd “this” refers t ________.
A．checking yur emailB．banking nline
C．lgging in WechatD．using a shrt and easy passwrd

Straight r arched (弯的), thick r thin-eyebrws cme in many shapes and sizes. But what are eyebrws even fr?

While pulling ur eyebrws up in the middle is an expressin f sympathy (同情), Penny Spikins frm Yrk University tld The Daily Telegraph. If yu still find this hard t understand, just draw a simple face n a piece f paper and draw a line abve the eyes. 28 Yu will find that it is very easy t shw anger, fear r surprise n a face.

Tgether with ur eyelashes(眼睫毛), eyebrws can als help t keep dust and ther things ut f ur eyes. 30 In that case, sme researchers believe that we wuld have evlved same ther facial feature t perfrm the same functins (功能) . That culd make us lk quite different.
