原文
对话一
M: So tell me, why do you wish to study medicine?
W: I’ve always wanted to be a doctor. I come from a small town where healthcare was never the best. And I think that had a profound effect on me as a child. I remember thinking how great it would be to serve the community and cure people.
M: What other people or events in your life have shaped your interest in becoming a doctor?
W: Well, that’s hard to say. I would certainly say my parents have been a key factor. They always pushed me to study hard. And I certainly wouldn’t be here without their support. I guess I was also immensely fortunate to have good teachers and friends around me at the end of the day. I’ve always been surrounded by a positive environment conducive to my working hard and pursuing my dreams.
M: Is there any medical branch that you would like to specialize in?
W: I haven’t decided yet. It’s still early days. However, if I had to say, internal medicine.
M: Why internal medicine?
W: I know it’s no picnic. But I find it the most intriguing because it covers so much and ties together so many other specialties.
M: Thank you. Now, I’d like to address your academic history and projected grades. We like to think of ourselves as a prestigious institution with a highly competitive and promising student body. As you know, to get into our programs, you need at least an eighty-five percent score in the entrance exam. Do you think you can attain this?
W: I think so, yes.
M: I’m looking at your school grades now. And I’ll be honest, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. You do get top grades here and there, but you are not very, shall we say, consistent. I see no problem in making you a conditional offer, but consider yourself warned. Our entrance exam is, to use your own words, no picnic.

Why do we often have to choose photos that include a street sign to log into our email accounts?
What do researchers at a university in Finland aim to do in their new study?
What do the researchers advise websites to do at the end of the passage?
原文
Logging into your email account can sometimes feel like trying to hack into the pentagon. If you follow all of the guidelines, you need to use a different password for every one of your accounts, use an incomprehensible variety of letters, numbers and symbols, sign up for two-step verification and change every password every time one of them is compromised. More often than not, you then have to choose photos that include a street sign, as this apparently provides solid evidence to your computer that you are in fact a human being. It’s no small wonder most of us forget our passwords more often than our keys now. A new peer-reviewed study by researchers at AUTO University in Finland is attempting to figure out why we forget our passwords in order to help put an end to this frustrating phenomenon. Their findings suggest that how likely you are to remember your password has less to do with the intricacy of the password itself and more to do with how often you anticipate using it. Which is to say, you are far more likely to remember a complicated password if you know you’ll frequently be using it to log into an account than you are to remember a simple password for an account that you don’t expect to log into very often. The researchers advise websites to include more of an incentive for users to log in more often in order to help them remember their secret codes.
incomprehensible 不可理解的
verification 验证
compromised 泄露

第12题：What was the problem Jenny wayner encountered four years ago? （珍妮·韦纳4年前遇到了什么问题？）
第13题：What can the fitness phone app Slim eretics do according to the passage? （根据文章，健身手机应用Slim eretics能做什么？）

第15题：What do some experts think of fitness apps like slieretics? （一些专家对像Slieretics这样的健身应用有什么看法？）
原文
Four years ago, Jenny Wayner was in a fitness slump. She wanted to improve her physical and mental health. However, her workouts lacked intensity. Without a proper training program to follow when she went to the gym, her daily ritual predominantly involved easy exercise options like jogging. She avoided more formidable exercises like lifting weights. A personal trainer who might push her was out of the question. The extravagant cost was just unaffordable. She then discovered the fitness phone app Slieretics. To use the app, you first input your profile about your previous training experiences and preferences as well as your desired goals. A virtual coach then uses that information to suggest a personalized training regime. After the workout, the app’s artificial intelligence software system uses feedback from Miss Wayner and its other fifty-three million users around the world to adjust future training sessions. Now, Miss Wayner finds the workouts exciting. This is because no two are ever the same. As a result, the app has helped her to lose more than twenty-five kilograms. The app’s mathematical approach can arrange a more meticulous workout schedule. This has led to optimal results. However, some experts think that apps cannot replace human personal trainers. An app cannot understand human behavior. It will not comprehend that there are competing interests outside of health and fitness. Additionally, a human trainer can add compassion to the workout. He can also make exercise fun and sustainable. Trainers can monitor whether the person is doing exercises correctly and safeguard against injuries. An app cannot perceive such subtleties.
