2、 I don't ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again.There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men.I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting.What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe,the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.

At 19,when I began studying astrophysics(天体物理学),it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom.But while earning my Ph.D.at MIT and then as 3 post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me.My every achievement-jobs,research papers,awards-was viewed through the lens of gender(性别)politics.So were my failures.Sometimes,when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus(相对于)right brain,or nature versus nurture(培育),I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.

Then one day a few years ago,out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations:I don't talk about that anymore.It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues.Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist?After all,I don't study sociology or political theory.

Today I research and teach at Barnard,a women's college in New York City.Recently,someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women.You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer;45.I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children.And I don't dismiss those concerns.Still,I don't tell them"war"stories.Instead,I have given them this:the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments.And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science.And that's a sight worth talking about.

1.From Paragraph 2,we can infer that people would attribute the author's failures to ______.

A.the very fact that she is a woman

B.her involvement in gender politics

C.her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist

D.the burden she bears in a male-dominated society

2.What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D.and post-doctoral research?

A.Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.

B.Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.

C.People's stereotyped attitude towards female scientists.

D.Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture

3.Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class?

A.Female students no longer have to worry about gender issues.

B.Her students'performance has brought back her confidence.

C.Her female students can do just as well as male students.

D.More female students are pursuing science than before.

4.What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?

A.Women students needn't have the concerns of her generation.

B.Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.

C.Women can balance a career in science and having a family.

D.Women now have fewer discrimination problems about science career.

3、 We moved away from my grandmother when I was eight years old. I missed her a lot. I was her favorite granddaughter and she was my favorite grandma.

Two years later my mother and father separated and soon divorced. I felt as if my world was falling apart. I lived with my mother for a time, next door to my grandma and grandpa in an apartment while my father was away during World War Ⅱ.

Grandma never had much in the way of money or material things. But it was the little things she gave me that let me feel warm, like letting me dip my fingers in the sugar bowl, letting me sip the coffee from her cup or allowing me to sit on the table as I had meals.

Though she didn’t have much, she did something for my brother and me. I will always remember she saved her coins in a glass jar. I thought my grandma could have used these coins herself, but she saved them to give us when we came to visit her.

I don’t remember how much we collected on our visits, nor was the amount(数目)important. It was the idea that she remembered us, and cared about us when we were away from her.

4、     My family and I have visited our friend, Dennis, in Chicago several times in summer, but we hardly visited him in winter. It’s December now, and here we are in Chicago. We have been here for two weeks. It’s much colder in Chicago than in New Orleans at this time of year.

This winter has been very cold. It has snowed a lot and people have had trouble with their cars. Last night, it snowed again. Now there is 60cm of snow on the ground. This has been fun for me, but Dennis didn’t have fun this morning when his car got stuck(抛锚 )in snow. Schools have closed because students can’t get to school. Many people have stayed inside.

According to Dennis, spring and fall are lovely seasons here. In the spring time, everything comes alive. People seem happy and spend more time outside. The sun shines almost every day. Dennis says that the leaves turn orange, yellow and red in the fall. The weather is still warm and comfortable. People drive to the country in order to see the fall colors. This is our friend’s favorite season.

Summer is a good season in the north-central part of the United States, too. Our last visit was in the summer time. It was hot, but there were fun things to do. We went on picnics, swam a lot and had parties in Dennis’ backyard.

People’s lives change with the weather. My life would be different in Chicago. I’m glad that I don’t live here. Dennis likes Chicago, but he doesn’t like its winter, either.

5、 On a Friday night in New York, a poor young man called Jay stood near the subway station, playing the violin. The music was so great that many people slowed down and put some money into his hat. 

    The next day, Jay came again. He took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground. Then he began playing. Before long, many people came, looking at the paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat. Please came to claim (认领) it soon.”  After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the young man and said, “I’m the George. I knew you’d surely come here!”

    Then George explained the whole story. He bought a lottery(彩票) ticket a few days ago. Yesterday he found that he won a prize of $500,000. He was very excited. On his way home, he felt the music was so wonderful that he took out $100 and put it on the hat. However, the lottery ticket with his name on was also thrown in.

    Jay was a student at an art school in Paris. He had booked the flight and would fly that morning. However, when he found the lottery ticket, he cancelled the flight and came back to the subway station.

    Later someone asked Jay,” Why didn’t you take the lottery ticket for yourself?” He said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.”
