       Every day I need to remember much 23  information . Every morning I 24  my cellphone  — it needs a password . I get to work and I have to have 25  my computer with a password . Like many people in Britain , I have two bank 26  . One needs a five-digit number and a password ; 27  needs a six-digit number and a memorable place name . I have an online savings account that needs a different password 28  the password for my bank account .

In these days of chip and pin , these are virtually useless if you do not have the magic four-digit numbers . The banks 32  you not to have the same number for all your cards . Give me a break . Am I going to carry five different random (隨機(jī)的) four-digit numbers in my head ? 33  , I’m not Good Will Hunting .
