I don’t 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 (controlled) 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 a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement — jobs, research papers, awards — was viewed through the lens (镜片) 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 (挑衅): 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.Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?

A.She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination (歧视).

B.She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.

C.She is not good at telling stories of the kind.

D.She finds space research more important.

2.From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute (把……归因于) the author’s failures to ________.

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

B.her involvement in gender politics

C.her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist

D.the very fact that she is a woman

3.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 fixed attitude toward female scientists.

D.Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurtured.

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 can balance a career in science and having a family.

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

D.Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.

I sometimes wonder if old Finchley has the right personality to be a research scientist. He keeps asking when he’ll be coming back. After all, it was his own fault. Nobody tries out what has just been invented on themselves any more but Finchley. Well, he must have pumped about a thousand cc into himself before I noticed he was clearly becoming smaller.

It was funny watching him, because his clothes remained the same in size. They simply piled up around him so that he looked like a small boy in his father’s clothes. But he kept getting smaller and smaller. As my colleague Dawson and I watched him, he disappeared! All we could see was Finchley’s clothes on the floor. They looked so strange, because the lab coat was on top, shirt and trousers inside and, I suppose, underclothes inside again. It gave me a strange feeling, and I think Dawson was a bit shaken, too.

Dawson was sitting on his chair in front of a microscope he’d been using to examine a family of mites(螨). He looked through the scope kind of absently again, and was nearly scared to lose awareness when he found old Finchley waving back from the other end.

It seems as if Finchley had taken a free ride on a dust mite and landed on the land of the mite family. Of course, we didn’t know till Finchley told us later. But anyhow, as I said, Dawson nearly passed out. He jumped off his chair and pointed at the microscope, too shocked to speak.

1.It can be inferred that Finchley, Dawson and the writer have possible invented ________.

A．a machine to make people small            B．a new way to study the family of mites

C．a new powerful microscope               D．some kind of medicine

2.Finchley disappeared because ________.

A．he tried out what has just invented on himself

B．his father’s clothes totally covered him up

C．he took something poisonous

D．he was changed into a dust mite

3.It can probably be concluded that Finchley ________.

A．will remain tiny all the time                B．is a devoted scientist

C．is not fit to be a scientist                  D．passed out there and then

4.It frightened Dawson to see Fincley ________.

A．got out of his scope by accident            B．was waving through his scope

C．suddenly got lost in his clothes             D．gradually disappeared in the lad
