They talk abut the straw that brke the camel's back, but really it shuld be the passwrd that wiped ut my memry bank.
I was ging alng the -with instant recall f my bank PIN（密码）, my mbile phne number and the date f my cusin's birthday befre I dwnladed a gas statin payment app fr its new custmer discunt. It asked me t create a passwrd. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected fr nt being cmplex enugh. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Cmpanies@”. But that was t lng and didn’t include “at least ne number”. But here is the thing: as sn as 1 added the fresh passwrd int my memry, I instantly frgt all the thers. My brain had hit its limit fr passwrds. I nw knw nthing.
I had entered sme passwrds in a ntebk. Of curse, I didn't write dwn the actual passwrds, in case it fell int the wrng hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that nly a family member culd figure them ut. Fr example, I cmbined my bank PIN with ur pstal cde, then added it t a list f phne numbers. It wuld fl even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the ne we use t remember peple's names. Yu knw, yu frm an assciatin between a persn's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny Gerge, Skinny Gerge”in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upn seeing him, yu’ll burst ut the phrase. “Skinny Gerge” might nt mind, but it’s pssible “Bring Betty” will. As fr remembering passwrds as yu change them, yu culd simply use the first and last letters f yur favrite singer's greatest hits, tgether with the year f their release.
Maybe I’ll try that ne ut—but nly after describing the system in the ntebk. Then I'll hide it in a place s secret that I'll never remember where it is.

N ne likes interruptin. We are brn t seek balance and rder. N matter what it is that yu are ding, being interrupted invlves a frceful stp midway and then having t re-enter yur previus state, smetimes with great difficulty.
Ppular belief has it that interruptin breaks the flw f yur thinking and affects prductivity negatively, and s it is advisable that yu have an uninterrupted sessin f intensive wrk befre yur next break.
Hwever, a Russian psychlgist, Bluma Zeigarnik, might tell yu therwise.
The cnnectin between interruptin and memry came t her attentin when she was dining in a restaurant. She nticed hw the waitresses had an amazing memry f the detailed rders yet t be paid fr, but scarce memry f the rders that were already cmpleted.
Back in her labratry, she cnducted studies in which subjects were required t cmplete varius puzzles. Sme f the subjects were interrupted during the tasks. All the subjects were then asked t describe what tasks they had dne. It turns ut that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the cmpleted tasks, and that children were even mre likely t recall the uncmpleted tasks. In ther wrds, uncmpleted tasks will stay n yur mind until yu finish them!
In cmparisn t tasks that were already finished and nes that we haven’t even started, half-dne prjects are given the pririty in the mental t-d list ur brains sketch ut fr us. Zeigarnik described this finding in her dctral thesis (论文) in the late 1920s, which was later called Zeigarnik effect.
One pssible explanatin is that with interrupted tasks, we are desperate fr their clsure t reclaim a sense f balance. Finishing them als means that we can finally clear up the mental backlg (积压的工作) and give the space t mre upcming tasks.
Zeigarnik’s effect can be fund everywhere, especially used in media and advertising. Have yu ever wndered why cliffhangers wrk s well r why yu just can’t get yurself t stp watching that series n Netflix?
Ernest Hemingway nce said abut writing a nvel, “It is the wait until the next day that is hard t get thrugh.” S next time, when yu are interrupted, appreciate it and take advantage f it t prmte yur prductivity.
8. What is a cmmn practice t finish a task?
A. Wrking in a fcused perid.B. Wrking with ccasinal breaks.
C. Wrking with a stp midway.D. Wrking in an interrupted sessin.
9. What is the finding f the Zeigarnik’s experiment?
A. Interruptin recalls details.B. Interruptin betters memry.
C. Interruptin disturbs balance.D. Interruptin reduces prductivity.
10. Which f the fllwing is an example f the applicatin f Zeigarnik’s effect?
A. Fashin shws.B. Online news.
C. Talk shws.D. TV series.
11. What is the pssible reasn behind Zeigarnik’s effect?
A. The desire fr balance.B. The physical backlg.
C. The utside pressure.D. The upcming tasks.

Msquites carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thusands f peple each year. Nw sme researchers are trying t use genetic engineering t make the annying insects int partners in the fight against the disease.
Fr years, public health fficials have tried t limit the disease by cntrlling msquit ppulatins. “But that apprach is temprary,” says Anthny James, a prfessr f bilgy and genetics at the University f Califrnia, Irvine, “Because msquites are extremely tugh little insects, and their ppulatins can quickly rebund.”
Therefre, James and his clleagues want t try a different apprach: making msquites themselves int malaria-fighting warrirs, which is a cmplete departure frm traditinal ways f cntrlling malaria.
T understand hw it wrks, it helps t understand the life cycle f malaria. The malaria pathgen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grws inside humans. It’s passed via msquites that mve frm persn t persn, sucking bld. “If we can make the msquites difficult fr the pathgens t survive, we can wipe ut the disease,” he says. But making msquites uninviting t malaria is a tugh jb.
T slve the prblem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They started with genes frm mice, whse immune systems d fight human malaria, engineered thse genes, and then gave them t the msquites.
It turned ut the malaria-fighting antibdies which gene-edited msquites prduced wrked very well. They reduced the number f parasites in the msquit befre they were passed t a human hst.
James’ team are nw wrking n planning a field trial, which he hpes culd be cnducted n an island r in anther islated lcatin.
But genetically changing wild animals des nt sit well with envirnmentalists. “There’s n need t engineer a msquit,” says Dana Perls, senir prgram manager fr the emerging technlgy prgram at the nn-prfit Friends f the Earth. Perls pints ut that naturally ccurring methds fr reducing malaria appear t be shwing prmise, as des a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and release a species that can’t be recalled nce it’s released int the wild?” she asks.
12. What can we knw frm the secnd and third paragraphs?
A. Msquites reprduce quickly.
B. Msquites depart frm malaria.
C. Msquites are malaria-fighting warrirs.
D. Msquites’ ppulatins are under cntrl.
13. Accrding t the text, which f the fllwing are attractive t the malaria pathgen?
A. Mice.B. Parasites.C. Msquites.D. Gene-edited msquites.
14 What is envirnmentalists’ attitude tward this new apprach?
A. Tlerant.B. Favrable.C. Objective.D. Disapprving.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Limiting Malaria by Cntrlling Msquit Ppulatins
B. Cntrlling Malaria by editing Msquites’ genes
C. Curing Malaria with Gene-edited Msquites
D. Preventing Malaria with a new vaccine
