HowtoSucceedinScience

To succeed in science,you need a lot more than luck.In my view,you have to combine intelligence with a willingness not to follow conventions when they block your forward path.Thus,these have come to be my rules for success.

　1　 

That might sound proud,but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than you.It’s like playing any game.Even as a child,I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was.If you win,it gives you no pleasure.And in the game of science or life,the highest goal isn’t simply to win.It’s to win at something really difficult.　2　 

Take risks.

To make a huge success,a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble.If you are going to make a huge jump in science,you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition.　3　 This can be more than personally upsetting. 

Never do anything that bores you.

My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things,and then leaves you alone.I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike.　4　 

It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists,because you have to go to key meetings where you spot key facts that would have escaped you.And you have to chat with your competitors,even if you find them objectionable.

So my final rule is:　5　 

A.Meet challenges with great courage.

B.If you can’t stand being with your real peers,get out of science.

C.Put another way,it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top.

D.Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess.

E.Avoid foolish people.

F.In fact,I find it hard to do well in something I like.

G.Besides,you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes.

答案:1~5 ECGFB

四、完形填空

Do you think you have what it takes to be a successful scientist?A successful scientist is generally a good observer.He makes full use of the facts he observes.He doesn’t accept ideas which are not 　1　 on obvious facts,and therefore 　2　 to accept authority as the only reason for truth.He always checks ideas 　3　 and makes experiments to prove them. 

The rise of modern science may perhaps be considered to date as far back as the time of Roger Bacon,the wonderful philosopher of Oxford,who lived between the years 1214 and 1292.He was probably the first in the Middle Ages to 　4　 that we should learn science 　5　 observing and experimenting on the things around us,and he himself 　6　 many important truths. 

Galileo(1564—1642),however,who lived more than 300 years later,was the greatest of several great men in Italy,France,Germany,and England,who began to show how many important 　7　 could be discovered by observation by degrees.Before Galileo,learned men believed that large bodies fell more 　8　 towards the earth than small ones,because Aristotle said so.But Galileo,going to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa,let two 　9　 stones fall and proved Aristotle was wrong.It is Galileo’s 　10　 of going direct to nature,and proving our 　11　 and theories by experiment,that has 　12　 all the discoveries of modern science. 

What 　13　 those people good scientists?From the example of Galileo,we know 　14　 that successful scientists are those whose observations have 　15　 better results.
