Donna Strickland is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Professor Strickland is one of the recipients( 受领者) of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 with Gérard Mourou, her PhD supervisor at the time. They published this Nobel-winning research in 1985 when Strickland was a PhD student at the University of Rochester in New York state. Together they paved the way toward the most intense laser pulses ever created.

Professor Donna Strickland is only the third woman ever to have won a Nobel Prize in physics. She and her fellow winners were honored for what the Nobel Committee called ground-breaking inventions in laser physics. Professor Strickland devised a way to use lasers as very precise drilling or cutting tools. Millions of eye operations are performed every year with these sharpest of laser beams.

---“How surprising do you think it is that you’re the third woman to win this prize? ”

---“Well, that is surprising, isn’t it? I think that’s the story of Maria that people want to talk about --- that why should it take 60 years? There are so many women out there doing fantastic research, so why does it take so long to get recognized? ”

Physics still has one of the largest gender gaps in science. One recent study concluded that at the current rates it would be more than two centuries until there were equal numbers of senior male and female researchers in the field.

The last woman to win a physics Nobel was German-born Maria Goeppert-Mayer for her discoveries about the nuclei of atoms. Before that it was Marie Curie, who shared the 1903 prize with her husband, Pierre. This year’s winners hope that breaking this half century hiatus will mean the focus in future will be on the research, rather than the gender of the researcher.

1.Which of the following best explains “ground-breaking” underlined in Paragraph 2?

A. active B. talented

C. creative D. awesome

2.What do we know about Professor Strickland’s achievement?

A. She created the most intense laser pulses by herself.

B. She advocated equality between man and women.

C. She discovered the nuclei of atoms with her husband.

D. She invented a way of using lasers as accurate cutting tools .

3.When was the second Nobel Prize in physics awarded to woman?

A. in 1963 B. in 1985

C. in 1903 D. in 1958

4.What can be inferred from the statements in paragraph 4 ?

A. Woman’s achievements in physics are as great as man’s.

B. Woman’s achievements in physics are more and more fantastic.

C. Maria’s discoveries resulted from her long time research.

D. Gender discrimination still exists in the field of science research.

Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to “build a bridge” with things you know about, and then “bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics.”

Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected ), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a million-dollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? “Most of us believe that the universe makes sense,” Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he

added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox（悖论） is open for future physicists to solve.

When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, “make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren’t yet ready, perhaps, to learn math.”

When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. “The basic stuff is important, ”Greene said. “But I think it’s really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details．”

Greene has followed Albert Einstein’s lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems in an exam.” It’s about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena（现象）-- and having fun!

1.A million-dollar question is probably very　　　　　 .

A. direct　　 B. difficult

C. personal　　 D. long

2.The books by Weinberg and Susskind　　　　　　 .

A. are boring to read　　 B. are mainly about math

C. are popular science books　　 D. are only popular among kids

3.According to Paragraph 4, which of the following does Greene agree with?

A. Modern physics is a boring subject.

B. Interest plays an important role in studying.

C. It is not necessary to learn all about physics.

D. It is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang.

4.In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that　　　　　　 .

A. kids can love science and physics　　 B. kids can do well in physics exams

C. kids can have fun with experiments　　 D. kids can find more strange things in life

Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks—we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around-family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, new Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics(遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country area where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. Georgia. People in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.

1. Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ____.

2.According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed ___.

3. Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by ___.

4. This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing with ___.

A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university．At the start of the school year，the teachers were given the names of five children．They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class．But the fact was that these students were only average，and they were not the best students at all．Well，guess what? At the end of the year，all the five average students scored among the highest in the class．

What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude．Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected more from them．And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves．So they worked harder to do as well as they could．

Do you know? If you expect the best from people，they’ll usually want to give you their best．A great leader said，“Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside，and you’ll make him even worse．But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be．”

Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny，his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naughtiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class．I’m sure you’ll never change．”The next year Johnny had a new teacher．And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Johnny，I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it．”And every day after that，this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things．Later on，Johnny became a school leader．Because that’s the power of our belief and attitude toward children．

1．The professor started his research by ________．

A．telling the five students to work harder than ever before

B．teaching the five children himself

C．telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class

D．asking the five children to find a new teacher

2．The five average students became top students mainly because of ________．

A．the professor’s study     B．the change in the professor’s attitude

A．To show the importance of encouragement．

B．To show that the boy was clever enough．

C．To let us know the famous boy．

D．To let us know how good his new teacher was．

4．According to the story，we can learn that ________．

A．the research began at the end of the school year

B．the students scored highest only because they worked hard

C．if you expect the most from people，you’ll get the least

D．little Johnny liked his new teacher very much

5．What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．If you want to get more，you should have new teachers．

B．Attitude and belief can change a person．

C．A professor’s study can help you score highest．

The science of physics today is as current as the morning newspaper. Indeed, as a result of new advances in physics and their rapid application to inventions designed to satisfy man's wants,the world itself has been changing rapidly. Space technology, industrial technology, and the technology of the home, the farm, the office, the bank, and the department store have all been revolutionized.

Clearly, every grown-up today would understand the world he lives in much better if he knew something about physics. Whether it be Congress(美国国会)voting huge sums of money for warships, space exploration, or atomic energy; the office staff learning to use a new computers; Son Bobby wanting to know about going to the moon; or the housewife learning to operate a electric stove, physics seems to be everywhere.

Teachers in thousands of schoolrooms in America are trying to communicate some of the excitement and importance of these new developments to their students. They know that some of their eager student will someday be scientists and will themselves　 then contribute to the development of new knowledge or its application to new things.

But in any case, they can be sure that if they bring a knowledge of science (any science) to their students in meaningful and stimulating ways, they have contributed much to helping each one live a more meaningful life.

1.The application of new advances in physics to inventions　　　　　 .

A.may solve all the problems in teaching

B.is intended to meet people's needs

C.can help people understand the meaning of life

D.makes people understand the voting rules of the Congress

2.What does the word “themselves” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.the teachers giving lessons B.the students in the classroom

C.some of the eager students D.all the scientists in physics

3.What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?

A.New advances in physics. B.The science of physics.

C.The use of physics in our life. D.Modern developments in science.
