【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sam39。s jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盤）being invaded, but we decided to risk it. We picked a little, gray, playful ball of Fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning. At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam — up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together。 when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years. Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing pared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.In the following days, Lightning seemed heartbroken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark. One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（復(fù)制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statue39。s neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend.（1）What does the underlined word apprehensive in paragraph 2 mean?

Your password has expired(過期), a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesn39。t seem like a big deal, unless you work at my pany, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one numeral. Oh, and the whole darn thing can39。t be fewer than eight characters. And I can39。t use any of the same passwords I39。ve used in the past three months. Suddenly I was furious. What didn39。t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief over what she had done to me was all I thought about. Every day. My anger didn39。t mean anything to the empty input field with a pulsating cursor (閃動的光標(biāo)), waiting for me to type a password that I39。d have to reenter — many times — for the next 30 days. I remembered a tip I39。d heard from my former boss. He39。d said, I39。m going to use a password to change my life. I couldn39。t focus on getting things done in my current mood. There were clear indicators of what I needed to do to regain control of my life, but I couldn39。t notice them. My password became the indicator. My password reminded me that I shouldn39。t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it. I made my password Forgive@h3r. I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my puter would lock. Each time my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would e back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I wrote Forgive her every day. The simple action changed the way I looked at my exwife. That constant reminder of reconciliation led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and embrace a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt a slow healing begin to take place. By the time my server prompted me to reset my password the following month, I felt free. One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I thought about the next thing that I had to get done. My password became Quit@smoking4ever. I quit smoking overnight. This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal. One month later, my password became Save4trip@thailand. Guess where I went three months later: Thailand. Seeing how these reminders helped to materialize my goals kept me motivated and excited. While it39。s sometimes difficult to e up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results.160
