2．Last summer，two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana，to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco．The houses were made of wood．These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil； now they hold Twitter engineers．
  The cottages could be an example of the industry's odd love affair with"low technology，"a concept associated with the natural world，and with old-school craftsmanship （手艺） that exists long before the Internet era．Low technology is not virtual （虚拟的）-so，to take advantage of it，Internet companies have had to get creative．The rescued wood cottages，fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds，are an obvious example，but Twitter's designs lie on the extreme end．Other companies are using a broader interpretation （阐释） of low technology that focuses on nature．
Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees，so that employees can"work and socialize in a more natural，park-like setting．"At Google's office，an entire floor is carpeted in glass．Facebook's second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail．
  Olle Lundberg，the founder of Lundberg Design，has worked with many tech companies over the years．"We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives，and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished （贫乏的），because they're surrounded by the digital world，"he says．"They're looking for a way to regain their individual identity，and we've found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that．"
  This craft based theory is rooted in history，William Morris，the English artist and writer，turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties，just after the Industrial Revolution．The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines．"Without creative human occupation，people became disconnected from life，"Morris said．
  Research has shown that natural environments can restore（恢复） our mental capacities．In Japan，patients are encouraged to"forest-bathe，"taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure．
  These health benefits apply to the workplace as well．Rachel Kaplvin，a professor of environmental psychology，has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment．Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office-even simple views of trees and flowers-felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying．If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then，fine，bring on the cottages．

19．The average computer user has between 5 and 15 username/password combinations to log in different kinds of accounts．Some demand you use a specific number of symbols and digits，while others require you to change your password every 60 days．The feeling of confusion resulting from memorizing these login information has grown so common that it actually has a name：password fatigue（疲劳）．
Having to remember so many different passwords is annoying，but it can also be dangerous．Because it is virtually impossible to remember a unique password for each of these accounts，many people leave handwritten lists of usernames and passwords on or next to their computers．
（71）GWhile these practices make it easier to remember login information，they also make it easier for thieves to hack into accounts．
Single Sign-On （SSO） confirmation and password management software can help solve this problem．With SSO，users only need to remember one password to log in to the main system．
（72）DSSO software is typically used by large companies，schools，or libraries．
（73）EIf a user loses or forgets the password required to log in to SSO software，the user will then lose access to all of the applications linked to the SSO account．Users who rely on password management software face the same problems．
Although most websites or network systems allow users to recover or change lost passwords by providing email addresses or answering a prompt（提示），this process can waste time and cause further frustration．What is more，recovering a forgotten password is only a temporary solution．
（74）A
Some computer scientists have suggested computers rely on biometrics（生物测定学）．（75）F The use of biometrics raises questions concerning privacy and can also be expensive to practice．
 Software engineers and computer security experts are still searching for the cure to password fatigue．Until they find the perfect solution，however，everyone will simply have to rely on the password system currently in place．

A．It does not address the larger problem of password fatigue．
B．These software programs have been built into many major web browsers
C．The problem with password management software makes users feel powerless．
D．The SSO software then automatically logs the user in to other accounts within the system．
E．However，SSO confirmation and password management software also have drawbacks．
F．This is a method of recognizing human users based on unique traits，such as fingerprints，voice，or DNA．
G．Others solve this problem by using the same password for every account or using extremely simple passwords．
