“Yu like pttery (陶艺) mre than yu like science,” a family member said. I knew the cmment was made lightly, but I felt frustrated and disappinted. I had wrked s hard t achieve a balance between my scientific and artistic pursuits. Why was my creative side still seen as a weakness and a disturbance, in ppsitin t my science?
As a little girl, I created art by breaking up eggshells, dying them, and gluing them t a clth. I als cnducted science experiments with my mm, a high schl science teacher, n the back prch. In cllege, I lved my chemistry curses and research wrk, and I regarded cking as my creative utlet, hsting weekly dinner parties fr friends.
Yet I heard time and again that creative expressin and science were nt pssible tgether. When my cllege rmmate cncluded with a persnality test that I was the “creative” type, the rest f my friends said that culdn’t be right, because “I was a scientist and therefre was nt creative.” As I was preparing fr graduate schl and studying fr the chemistry GRE test, I realized I talked abut science the same way I wuld paint a picture, explaining cncepts in brad strkes (粗线条地) — in part because I struggled t remember technical scientific terminlgy. I wrried my way f thinking wuldn’t fit in with “prper” scientists. In the end, thugh, my desire t pursue a scientific career wn ut. I figured I wuld cntinue t find a way t balance my research with my creative pursuits, regardless f what thers thught.
When in graduate schl I fund pttery, which I culd pursue n evenings and weekends. After my first class, I was attracted. It has inspired me t mre intentinally mix my art with my science. I keep a ntebk at my lab table filled with wrds f mug (马克杯) designs inspired by my experiments. Thrugh the challenge f getting my paper int its cre cncepts in such a way that it culd be displayed n a mug, I gained a better understanding f my prject. Pttery has nw turned int a way fr me t train my brain t be creative and think utside the bx.

Increased invlvement frm grandparents can be crucial in a child’s develpment. Frm helping children navigate stressful situatins t giving kids that little extra bit f lve and care, grandparents play an imprtant rle in the well-being f a child. Nw, there’s scientific data t back this up.
Accrding t a study f ver 1,500 children, cnducted by Prfessr Ann Buchanan frm the Department f Scial Plicy and Interventin at the University f Oxfrd in the United Kingdm, children wh have tight-knit relatinships with their grandparents tend t have fewer prblems, bth emtinally and when it cmes t their behavir. Besides, children als have less difficulty when interacting and maintaining relatinships with thers.
Kimberly Agresta, the c-funder f Englewd’s Agresta Psychtherapy Grup, has als nticed in a study the significant benefits f allwing grandparents t be mre invlved in children’s lives. “If parents regularly invlve grandparents in their child’s life early n, a child can develp real emtinal clseness t their grandparents and begin t see them as a surce f strng scial supprt,” she stated in an interview. “S a child will feel they have ther adults, aside frm their parents, wh care abut them in the same way, and this adds t their sense f stability and security.”
She cntinued, “Stressful situatins are less impactful t such children because they have ther peple in their lives wh they have these attachments t and supprt frm.” This is because grandparents are generally nt respnsible fr disciplining r raising the child, and they’re able t lve the child a little mre freely and uncnditinally than a parent, Agresta explained.
“Grandparents are a wealth f knwledge and infrmatin, and nt nly can they pass n valuable skills frm real-life experience, but they can als share the past with their grandchildren,” added Agresta. “They can serve as histrians, sharing varius traditins and stries abut when their wn children were grwing up, which create s a sense f cntinuity fr a child.” S it lks like it may be time t set up a play date fr yur kids with their grandparents!
8. What is the impact f children spending time with grandparents accrding t Buchanan’s study?
A. Imprved scial skills.B. Lwer intelligence level.
C. Better academic perfrmance.D. Increased behaviral prblems.
9. Hw des Agresta prbably describe grandparents’ treating their children?
A. Mre critical.B. Mre psitive.
C. Less supprtive.D. Less judgmental.
10. What des Agresta talk abut in the last paragraph?
A. The features f grandparents’ lve.
B. Varius rles grandparents take n.
C. The typical qualities f grandparents.
D. Grandparents’ advantages ver parents.
11. Hw des the authr mainly rganize the text?
A. By quting a few peple’ pinins.
B. By analyzing tw scientific surveys.
C. By giving the findings f tw studies.
D. By making cmparisns between studies.

A new study shws that female academics are significantly underrepresented in winning academic prizes and having awards named after them. Analysis f nearly 9,000 awardees and 346 scientific prizes and medals published in Nature Human Behaviur has fund that men win eight prizes fr every ne wn by a wman if the award is named after a man. These awards represent almst tw-thirds f all scientific prizes. Female academics are, hwever, mre likely t win awards that have been named after ther ntable female scientists, with 47% f thse awards ging t wmen and 53% t men.
Dr Katja Gehmlich, Assciate Prfessr in the Institute f Cardivascular Science at the University f Birmingham and jint lead authr f the study, said, “The gender gap between awardees in scientific prizes is sadly a prduct f a lng, systematic issue f pr representatin f wmen in sciences. Despite decades f effrts t rebalance this issue, ur study shws that wmen are still prly recgnized fr their scientific cntributins, and men are far mre likely t win prizes and awards, in particular, if thse awards are named after ther men.
“It seems particularly shcking t me that awards named after wmen still see mre than half f prizes ging t men. We further prpse a list f actins t address and vercme these issues but are aware this will be a lng prcess. The Nminate Her mvement is ne way that the scientific cmmunity can begin t address this,” said Dr Gehmlich.
Prf Stefan Krause frm the Schl f Gegraphy, Earth and Envirnmental Sciences at the University f Birmingham and jint lead authr f the study said, “Our data is indicative f much wider issues f gender inequality within sciences. Our current publicatin is an initial attempt t understand the causes f such striking gender inequality and t prmte discussin n the subject within ur scientific cmmunities.”
“Research culture has a lt t d t imprve the gender prize gap, as well as effrts t address the inequality that sees almst tw-thirds f prizes currently named after men. Mre pathways may als be needed, such as renaming r getting rid f gender names assciated with sme awards,” added Prf Krause.
12. Hw are awards named after female scientists distributed between genders?
A. Males are in the majrity.
B. Females take up a bit mre than half.
C. They are almst entirely awarded t females.
D. They are evenly distributed between males and females.
13. What’s Dr Gehmlich’s attitude tward gender inequality in scientific prizes?
A. Dubtful.B. Tlerant.
C. Uncaring.D. Disappinted.
14. What suggestin des Prf Krause ffer t narrw the gender gap?
A. Establishing gender rates fr awards.
B. Increasing the number f female judges.
C. Encuraging mre wmen t enter scientific fields.
D. Renaming r remving gender names frm awards.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Achievements f wmen in science
B. The rle f men in the scientific wrld
C. Gender inequality in scientific awards

I was always afraid f water. This fear culd nt be explained, but I knew that the mment I stepped near any bdy f water, my legs wuld turn t jelly (果冻). I wuld imagine myself drwning in the water and thrashing arund (乱扑腾) helplessly. That was why I had never gne int a swimming pl until swimming became a schl requirement. My schl wanted all pupils t pass a swimming test, and if they culd nt, then they wuld have t attend weekly swimming lessns in schl, which made me tremble.
Thus, my parents signed me up fr swimming lessns at the pl near my huse. With great unwillingness, I attended thse weekly lessns, and each ne was great suffering fr me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear f water did nt help at all. Every lessn, I wuld be spending my time thrashing abut in the water, while my classmates wuld be swimming cuntless laps effrtlessly and even turning ver like dlphins in the water. Hw was I ging t pass the test at this rate?
In my swimming class, there was an exceptinally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in ur class and always lked at me with disdain (鄙视), especially when I thrashed abut hpelessly in the water.
Once, after a particularly lng and hard swimming lessn, I sptted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pl. Gathering my curage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can yu teach me t swim?” She stared at me cldly. It was as if I std at the edge f an endless cean f inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark strm cluds threatening t drwn me. Yet, in that mment, a glimmer f hpe flashed within me, a desperate lnging fr guidance and acceptance. Wuld Kathy’s icy exterir (外表) melt under the warmth f empathy, r wuld I remain frever thrashing in the sea f my wn fears?

“Yu like pttery (陶艺) mre than yu like science,” a family member said. I knew the cmment was made lightly, but I felt frustrated and disappinted. I had wrked s hard t achieve a balance between my scientific and artistic pursuits. Why was my creative side still seen as a weakness and a disturbance, in ppsitin t my science?
As a little girl, I created art by breaking up eggshells, dying them, and gluing them t a clth. I als cnducted science experiments with my mm, a high schl science teacher, n the back prch. In cllege, I lved my chemistry curses and research wrk, and I regarded cking as my creative utlet, hsting weekly dinner parties fr friends.
Yet I heard time and again that creative expressin and science were nt pssible tgether. When my cllege rmmate cncluded with a persnality test that I was the “creative” type, the rest f my friends said that culdn’t be right, because “I was a scientist and therefre was nt creative.” As I was preparing fr graduate schl and studying fr the chemistry GRE test, I realized I talked abut science the same way I wuld paint a picture, explaining cncepts in brad strkes (粗线条地) — in part because I struggled t remember technical scientific terminlgy. I wrried my way f thinking wuldn’t fit in with “prper” scientists. In the end, thugh, my desire t pursue a scientific career wn ut. I figured I wuld cntinue t find a way t balance my research with my creative pursuits, regardless f what thers thught.
When in graduate schl I fund pttery which I culd pursue n evenings and weekends. After my first class, I was attracted. It has inspired me t mre intentinally mix my art with my science. I keep a ntebk at my lab table filled with wrds f mug (马克杯) designs inspired by my experiments. Thrugh the challenge f getting my paper int its cre cncepts in such a way that it culd be displayed n a mug, I gained a better understanding f my prject. Pttery has nw turned int a way fr me t train my brain t be creative and think utside the bx.

Increased invlvement frm grandparents can be crucial in a child’s develpment. Frm helping children navigate stressful situatins t giving kids that little extra bit f lve and care, grandparents play an imprtant rle in the well-being f a child. Nw, there’s scientific data t back this up.
Accrding t a study f ver 1,500 children, cnducted by Prfessr Ann Buchanan frm the Department f Scial Plicy and Interventin at the University f Oxfrd in the United Kingdm, children wh have tight-knit relatinships with their grandparents tend t have fewer prblems, bth emtinally and when it cmes t their behavir. Besides, children als have less difficulty when interacting and maintaining relatinships with thers.
Kimberly Agresta, the c-funder f Englewd’s Agresta Psychtherapy Grup, has als nticed in a study the significant benefits f allwing grandparents t be mre invlved in children’s lives. “If parents regularly invlve grandparents in their child’s life early n, a child can develp real emtinal clseness t their grandparents and begin t see them as a surce f strng scial supprt,” she stated in an interview. “S a child will feel they have ther adults, aside frm their parents, wh care abut them in the same way, and this adds t their sense f stability and security.”
She cntinued, “Stressful situatins are less impactful t such children because they have ther peple in their lives wh they have these attachments t and supprt frm.” This is because grandparents are generally nt respnsible fr disciplining r raising the child, and they’re able t lve the child a little mre freely and uncnditinally than a parent, Agresta explained.
“Grandparents are a wealth f knwledge and infrmatin, and nt nly can they pass n valuable skills frm real-life experience, but they can als share the past with their grandchildren,” added Agresta. “They can serve as histrians, sharing varius traditins and stries abut when their wn children were grwing up, which create s a sense f cntinuity fr a child.” S it lks like it may be time t set up a play date fr yur kids with their grandparents!

Every lessn, I wuld be spending my time thrashing abut in the water, while my classmates wuld be swimming cuntless laps effrtlessly and even turning ver like dlphins in the water. Hw was I ging t pass the test at this rate?
In my swimming class, there was an exceptinally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in ur class and always lked at me with disdain (鄙视), especially when I thrashed abut hpelessly in the water.
Once, after a particularly lng and hard swimming lessn, I sptted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pl. Gathering my curage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can yu teach me t swim?” She stared at me cldly. It was as if I std at the edge f an endless cean f inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark strm cluds threatening t drwn me. Yet, in that mment, a glimmer f hpe flashed within me, a desperate lnging fr guidance and acceptance. Wuld Kathy’s icy exterir (外表) melt under the warmth f empathy, r wuld I remain frever thrashing in the sea f my wn fears?
