What a Scientist Is Like

If you were asked to imagine a scientist,what image（形象）would come to your mind?The common idea that most kids from kindergarten through college have of a scientist is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair, big glasses,and several glass cups of mysterious colorful liquids giving off clouds of smoke.As for adults,the majority view scientists as strange people who spend 100 hours a week slaving away in a lonely laboratory.However, the reality is quite different.

Recently I’ve had a chance to take part in a scientific experience far from my laboratory and into Costa Rica.It supports a huge amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America.It is home to more than 500,000 species,which represents nearly 4% of the total species worldwide!

First we worked alongside conservationists to preserve wildlife at a leatherback turtle（棱皮龟）rescue center. We helped the volunteers preserve turtle populations by removing rubbish from the shoreline to create a safe environment for turtle eggs to come out.After that we stayed at Mount Arenal where we studied seismic activity relating to earthquakes.During our stay at Arenal,we rode over the mountainous areas and took a long walk through the rainforest.After reaching the top,we went down and through waterfalls to the beautiful valley below!On the last day we got a hands-on introduction to rocket science where we learned about new rocket technology that will be used on the international space station.

During my Costa Rica experience,I know that being a scientist doesn’t mean working in a lab all day and night. A scientist is one who loves learning and getting a better understanding of the world from helping preserve wild-life, learning about earthquakes or inventing rockets.I think that schools should really stress that science is so much more than wearing a lab coat and mixing chemicals.Kids need to be aware of the excitement and adventures science can bring!

1.According to the first paragraph,scientists are often believed　　　　　　 .

A. to work as slaves　　 B. to behave in a strange way

C. to spend too much time in labs　　 D. to do experiments in messy labs

2.The author helped to preserve the turtle population by　　　　　　 .

A. creating a safe nest for turtles　　 B. picking up rubbish on the shoreline

C. collecting the turtle eggs on the beach　　 D. finding a comfortable environment for turtles

3.What does the author learn about science from his experience?

A. Science is full of boring experiments.　　 B. Science is more than working in a lab.

C. Science is related to mysterious liquids.　　 D. Science is about wildlife and earthquakes.

4.Why does the author write this passage?

A. To encourage kids to study science.　　 B. To tell the story of traveling in Costa Rica.

C. To expect more people to travel in Costa Rica.　　 D. To share the secrets behind science phenomena.

“It hurts me more than you” and “This is for your own good” — these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.

That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.

Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying  'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”

Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.

1.Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.

2.By “permissive period in education” (L.1, Para. 2) the author means a time _______.

3.The main idea of the passage is that _______.
