They talk about the straw that broke the camel’s back, but really it should be the
password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along fine with instant recall of my bank PIN, my mobile phone number
and the date of my cousin’s birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its
new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was
rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “IHateHearlessOilCompanies@”.
But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as
soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My

brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn’t write down the actual
passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a
family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our
postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people’s names. You
know, you form an association between a person’s characteristics and their name by
whispering “Skinny George. Skinny George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that,
upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s
possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you
could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer’s greatest hits, together
with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out, but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then
I’ll hide it in a place so secret that I’ll never remember where it is.

Adaptations play a major role in the movie industry. It’s common to see that the latest

hit movie or thrilling drama is inspired by a novel, video game, or perhaps even a comic
book. The journey of the page being adapted to the screen has been covered a lot. But little
is the process spoken about in reverse.
The most well-known version of a film making its way into the publishing industry is
through the classic novelization. Movie novelizations went through a popular period
before the Internet existed. Fans wanted to keep learning more about the fictional worlds
they had stepped into and needed to experience the story again in a new way. They
couldn’t simply google it, nor could they immediately get the production on tape.
Therefore, the novelization was a great solution.
Novelizations were usually written by authors who were not in the movie-making
process. Instead, they would receive the most complete version of the screenplay to hand
and would begin to write their adaptation based on that document. Although changes
could be made, there were times where a novelization didn’t actually reflect what
happened on the screen because scenes could be cut or replaced and the novelizations
were left outdated. But there’s also an advantage. The novelizations were a small piece of
movie-making history in their own right. Massive films like Star Wars, ET, Back To The
Future, and Alien all received their own page adaptation. It was a completely unique
experience before the films were even available to watch. For a time, they were everything
for cinema lovers.
Regardless of the influences on the tales, movie adaptations provide a creative outlet
for new concepts to be developed. That’s a wonderful idea which should be encouraged
for those movies that never got a chance to continue on their path.

8. What does the underlined phrase “in reverse” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Equally. B. Oppositely. C. Similarly. D. Completely.

9. Why were movie novelizations popular before the Internet existed?
A. They took the place of productions on tape.
B. They were adapted from up-to-date novels.
C. They satisfied fans’ curiosity in a different way.
D. They created a fictional world for people to first step in.
0. What is probably the disadvantage of a novelization?
A. Its choosing the wrong story.
3

B. Its missing the point of the screenplay.
C. Its cutting and replacing movie scenes.
D. Its failing to match the original movie.

In 2016, Portia Putatunda, a former journalist, was sad by the loss of her father. “I felt
lost without my father, who had always been my pillar (支柱) of support.” Her father was
dedicated to assisting underprivileged ( 贫 困 的 ) children and firmly believed in the
transformative power of education. The deep-rooted passion to help people was also long
rooted in her.
Today, Putatunda runs a free boarding school in Komic. Situated at 15,500 feet,
Komic is said to be the world’s highest village. The former journalist is now playing the
role of a teacher, a caretaker and in many ways a motherly figure to these underprivileged
children. “Starting a boarding school was a decision born out of necessity and a desire to
make a meaningful impact on the region’s education.”
Having spent two years teaching local kids there, she realized that a centralized
boarding school was the most logical and efficient solution. It would provide access to
education for children from across the region, bridging the gap in educational
opportunities.
According to her, a boarding school could not only address the transport difficulties
but also ensure a safe learning environment for these children. Putatunda has been
primarily using her savings to support the no-charging school. Additionally, she has
received support from sponsors who have stepped up to help cover the costs of some
students and the monthly expenses.
However, there are still some problems listed by Putatunda. Limited manpower,
difficulties in construction and transportation, and harsh weather conditions are the major
difficulties that come in the way of her mission. “Knowledge sharing and finding similar
role models in this remote region is also a challenging task. Additionally, Komic’s
landscape overshadows the challenges, making every breath an effort,” she explains.

Despite the many barriers in Putatunda’s journey, she remains determined not to give
up. “The unparalleled beauty of living at 15,500 feet makes me feel closer to heaven and
my father. I long to adopt a child or two and make Komic my permanent home,” she signs
off.

Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place
in a natural environment rather than in a health club or gym.
36
. Instead, it
depends on the use of natural means of taking part in activities that improve strength and
toughness with as little dependence on equipment as possible.

7
. For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires
that the individual wear clothing only made from natural fibers. Others consider barefoot

running or walking on the playground to be more desirable than running or walking with
shoes.
A slightly different approach to green exercise puts more stress on the fresh air,
sunshine and involvement with the natural world, rather than the equipment or clothing
used during the exercise.
38
. Similarly, climbing a mountain using standard
equipment and protective clothing would also be considered a green exercise.
Many consider green exercise helps to reconnect human beings with the natural
world. The interaction with nature helps to lower people’s blood pressure, refresh their
mind, and actually improve their self-esteem.
Not everyone believes that the green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a
health club or gym. 40 . Meanwhile, the use of fitness devices may result in more
