Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage．
Are passwords out-of-date? It is starting to seem like it．Everybody hates them．These days a typical Internet user has dozens of online accounts．If you really want to be safe，you need to generate a different password for each one，and each password needs to be extremely complicated，with a mix of letters，symbols，and numbers．Who can keep all that stuff in their head?
Most people do not bother．Some just create one password and use it everywhere．Others might have a few passwords - one 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．These attacks are happening so frequently these days 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 don?t want to use them．Smart cards can be lost or stolen．Scientists have tried all sorts of other approaches，but they end up back with passwords．They are the least worst in a series of bad choices． Markus Jakobsson，a researcher in computer science，has produced something he calls “fastwords．”Instead of inventing a password，you join three simple words that come from a thought known only to you．If one day you were driving to work and ran over a frog that ended up flat，you might choose “frog work flat．”You call enter the three words in any order，and the system still knows that you are you．If your 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 fight direction，but it is not the promised land．Someone，somehow, needs to come up with something radically different - and radically better - than what we have today．
31．Today people find passwords ． (C) A．difficult to create B．easy to figure out C．hard to remember D．apt to be replaced
32．We learn from paragraph 2 that many people use passwords · (A) A．without due caution B．in a rational manner C．with frequent changes D．in simple combinations
33．Compared with passwords，other alternatives are even more ． (C) A．complex B．confusing C．troublesome D．expensive
34．One unique advantage of fastwords is that they can be used ． (D) A．with greater speed B．with more certainty C．with greater security D．with more flexibility
35．The writer seems to think that fastwords ． (A) A．offer a hopeful inspiration B．are as simple as passwords
C．offer a decisive resolution D．are as safe as passwords

Too much importance must not be attached to the wrong acts done by children，particularly if they happen to be of a minor nature．Many children are likely to be in the habit of stealing，neglecting studies，or using bad language．In nearly every case，the root cause of the trouble is the fact that proper care of the child is not taken in the house．But if the parents are wise，they would correct their children?s faults by paying more attention to them．Whatever the case，one thing should never be done．They should not be compelled to change for the better under fear of the rod Physical
punishment does not improve them．It only makes them worse than before.
对孩子犯的错不必太在意，尤其是那些不足挂齿的小错。许多孩子或许会养成小偷小摸、不思学业、讲粗话等不良习惯。几乎无一例外，问题的根源都在于他们在家中未得到应有的关爱。只要家长足够明智，给予子女更多的关注，便能纠正他们的错误。但有一件事却无论如何也不能做——绝不能以棍棒相逼，陷孩子于恐惧之中。体罚非但不会使孩子改正，反而会让他们变得比以前更糟。
