When Dawn Bonfield, the former chief executive of the Women's Engineering Society, ran a stand recently at a big military air show, she was in for a shock.

There were around 900 Brownies among the crowd and Ms Bonfield says, "I'm saying to all these girls, 'Do you know about engineering, would you like to be an engineer, have you thought about engineering?' And in the whole day... probably five or six of them said yes. Every other one said no, just straight out no."

What surprised her most, she says, is that it wasn't that these eight and nine-year-old girls didn't know what engineering was. Simply that they had already switched off. They had lost interest in engineering. "So how much work does it take to change that?" asks Ms Bonfield. "I mean it's huge."

There's no shortage of data to back up her estimation of the scale of work required. The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show that women make up around just 8% of engineers in the UK. And this is at a time when the UK needs to produce thousands more engineers, so much so that the inventor, Sir James Dyson, is planning to open his own instituteto address the skills shortage.

Not enough female role models is well documented as a reason why girls don’t choose engineering.

The attitude of parents was also an important factor in career choices. For girls, perhaps unsurprisingly, mothers were particularly influential.

"My mum was a bit iffy about it at first because she was more like, 'Girls should do this and that and the other,' more like 'keep your posture up and be ladylike'," says middle school student Hannah. "But my dad used to build a lot of stuff and he got me into that. So after my mum saw how me and my dad interacted she said, 'Yeah, go for it' and she's kind of the one who supported me with this."

1. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To show the shortage of girls in engineering.

B. To introduce some famous girl engineers.

C. To promote the social status for engineers.

D. To give girls advice on how to select careers.

2.What does the underlined word “Brownies” in the Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Chocolate cakes.　　　　 　　 B. Young girls.

C. Girls with brown hair.　　 D. Students in brown.

3.What shocked Dawn Bonfield most?

A. There were so many girls at the show.

B. Many girls had run off before seeing her.

C. Girls didn’t know anything about engineering.

D. Girls paid no attention to engineering.

4. Why did Hannh finally choose engineering?

A. Because she found a woman role model.

B. Because her mother was sure of her future.

C. Because her father had influence on her.

D. Because she wanted to meet the demand of society.

Back in the old days, when I was a child, we sat around the family roundtable at dinnertime and exchanged our daily experiences. It wasn't very organized, but everyone was recognized and all the news that had to be told was told by each family member.

We listened to each other and the interest was not put-on; it was real. Our family was a unit and we supported each other, and nurtured each other, and liked each other, and—we were even willing to admit—we loved each other.

Today, the family roundtable has moved to the local fast-food restaurant and talk is not easy, much less encouraged.

Grandma, who used to live upstairs, is now. the voice on long distance, and the working parent is far too beaten down each day to spend evening relaxation time listening to the sandbox experience of an eager four-year-old.

So family conversation is as extinct as my old toys and parental questions such as “What have you been doing, Bobby?” have been replaced by “I'm busy, go watch television. ”

And watch TV they do; count them by the millions.

But it's usually not children's television that children watch. Saturday morning, the children's hour, amounts to only about 8 percent of their weekly viewing.

Where are they to be found? Watching adult television, of course, from the Match Game in the morning, to the afternoon at General Hospital, from the muggings and battles on the evening news right through the family hour and past into Starsky and Hutch. That's where you find our kids, over five million of them, at 10 p. m. , not fewer than a million until after midnight! All of this is done with parental permission.

Television, used well, can provide enriching experiences for our young people, but we must use it with some sense. When the carpet is clean, we turn off the vacuum cleaner. When the dishes are clean, the dishwasher turns itself off.

Not so the television, which is on from the sun in the morning to the moon at night and beyond!

Parents must exercise some control and show some concern about the cultural influence on the child when a program not intended for that child is viewed. Parents need to intervene (干涉). Nonintervention may be a wise policy in international affairs, but the results of parental nonintervention will not be wise at all.

1. From the first two paragraphs one may infer that the writer's a attitude towards “the old days” is______.

A. being tired of　　　　 B. hating

C. preferring　　 　　　　 D. disappointing

2.The working parent is not willing to listen to her (his) four-year-old child talking about his sandbox games because ______.

A. she (he) is boring　　　　　 B. she (he) is busy

C. she (he) is very tired　　 D. she (he) is angry

3.If we use television with some ______ television can provide our young people with much knowledge.

A. instruction of experts

B. indication of teachers

C. direction of engineers

D. judgment of our own

4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Parents must exercise some control and show some concern about the cultural influence on the children.

B. Nonintervention may be a good policy in international affairs.

C. Parental nonintervention will not be praised.

D. Parents need to intervene.
