The sun was rising as we drve acrss the Minnesta state line t New Yrk fr my new Ph.D. prgram. The mve was gd fr me prfessinally, but I wrried abut my husband and daughters. I als feared that I wuldn’t be able t give my kids the childhd they deserved.
Anne, ur first daughter, came int the wrld when I was a junir majring in bilgy in cllege. It was challenging t balance classes, wrk schedules, and being a mm. But I gt it thrugh, finding mments f delight alng the way. On the nights when I was at hme, I’d read my class ntes ut lud with my daughter. She’d respnd by asking questins, such as “Mm, what are bacteria?” It helped us bth learn.
After I graduated, I knew that I wuld need a Ph.D. t land the kind f jb I wanted. I arrived in New Yrk feeling mre than the usual new⁃grad⁃student anxiety. I als suffered frm a mre persnal fear that I was selfish—my decisin t invigrate my career was ging t have lng⁃term negative impacts n my kids.
Over the past year, thugh, I’ve started t let g f sme f the wrry. I’ve realized that nt nly have we adapted t ur new situatin, but things are getting better.

Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I wrk at, Anne said, “Thinking abut peple having cancer is s sad, but I feel better knwing that yu are researching it t help.”
Navigating academia as a yung mther is hard but it’s als rewarding. My kids are learning t lk at the wrld thrugh the lens f science, and watching their mm succeed inspires them. I lk frward t seeing them fllw in my ftsteps, whatever path they chse.

The practice f students endlessly cpying letters and sentences frm a blackbard is a thing f the past. With the cming f new technlgies, writing by band has becme smething f nstalgic (怀旧的) skill. Hwever, while tday’s educatrs are using mre and mre technlgy in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary fr students t be successful— bth in schl and in life.
Virginia Berninger, prfessr f educatinal psychlgy at the University f Washingtn, says it’s imprtant t cntinue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill f writing by hand.
Berninger and her clleagues cnducted a study that lked at the ability f students t cmplete varius writing tasks — bth n a cmputer and by hand. The study fund that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrte lnger essays and mre cmplete sentences and had a faster wrd prductin rate.
In a mre recent study, Berninger lked at what rle spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and fund that hw well children spell is tied t hw well they can write. “Spelling makes sme f the thinking parts f the brain active, which helps us access ur vcabulary, wrd meaning and cncepts. It is allwing ur written language t cnnect with ideas.” Berninger said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas int wrds in their mind first and then t transcribe (转换) “thse wrds in the mind int written symbls n paper r keybard and screen” the study said. Seeing the wrds in the “mind’s eye” helps children nt nly t turn their ideas int wrds, but als t spt spelling mistakes when they write the wrds dwn and t crrect them ver time.
“In ur cmputer age, sme peple believe that we dn’t have t teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functinal spelling ability f abut a fifth grade level, they wn’t have the knwledge t chse the crrect spelling amng the ptins given by the cmputer.”
8. What can we learn frm Berninger’s first study?
A. It fcused n the difference between writing by hand and n a cmputer.
B. It indicated that students prefer t write with a pen and paper.
C. It fund that gd essays are made up f lng sentences.
D. It discussed the imprtance f writing speed.
9. Which f the fllwing best shws the rle f spelling?
A. Spelling imprves ne’s memry f wrds.
B. Spelling ability is clsely related t writing ability.
C. Spelling benefits the translatin frm wrds int ideas.
D. Spelling slws dwn finding exact wrds t express ideas.
10. What is the significance f having a functinal spelling ability f abut a fifth grade level, as mentined by Virginia Berninger?
A. It allws students t rely slely n spell checks.
B. It is unnecessary in the age f cmputer technlgy.
C. It is a requirement fr all students t pass their fifth-grade exams.
D. It enables students t chse the crrect spelling frm cmputer suggestins.
11. What cnclusin culd be drawn frm the passage?
A. Handwriting still has a place in tday’s classrms.
B. Spell checks can take the place f spelling teaching.
C. Cmputers can help peple with their chice f wrds.

Scream if yu want t charge yur phne.
Thanks t the wnders f science, riders n Thrpe Park’s new attractin, a rller caster called The Walking Dead, can nw pwer their smart phnes by screaming ludly. That’s because there are devices n it that “harvest kinetic energy (动能)”. The park cnducted research which shws that peple’s biggest fear is their phnes running ut f battery, s the device shuld prve ppular.
All f the Walking Dead’s carriages have been fitted with the harvesting devices, which nt nly harvest the energy f screams, but that frm g-frce and vibratins (振动) f the ride, t. It is stred in a pwer management unit. The unit is then remved frm the carriages by staff and depsited int an n-site mbile charging pint where ride gers will charge their devices. The 188mmx 188mm x 67mm energy harvester is jet black, blending int its dark and mysterius surrundings n the rller caster themed arund the glbal TV shws.
Thrpe Park said: “If thrill-seekers are brave enugh t pen their eyes, they will see a set f LED lights in bld red pwering up as guests’ screams becme luder... thrughut the 90-secnd experience.”
Designed and installed by researchers at Queen Mary University Lndn and the engineering team at Thrpe Park Resrt, the technlgy tk three mnths t be carried ut, frm design t installatin. It will be available at the theme park fr an initial trial perid.
Thrpe Park Resrt’s Jhn Burtn, wh came up with the ride cncept, said, “The Walking Dead’s ride is 15 ut f 10 n the scare factr scale, s it makes sense t be able t cmbine and use the pwer f ur visitrs’ screams and the ride’s vibratins t help slve a prblem each and every ne f us faces — lsing the charge n ur mbiles when we’re n a day ut.”
Dr Je Brisce, Schl f Engineering and Materials Science at Queen Mary University f Lndn, said, “This is an exciting cncept that will undubtedly be used mre frequently in the future. The system uses a mini energy harvester t capture the kinetic energy, transferring it t a separate electrical circuit and strage unit, which is enugh t charge a mbile phne.”
12. Where culd ride gers easily get their phnes charged?
A. At the carriage.B. At the charging pint.
C. At the LED light.D. At the energy harvester.
13. Why des Jhn Burtn cnsider the cncept wrkable?
A. Because a mini energy harvester is applied.
B. Because The Walking Dead is mst frightening.
C. Because the park has quite a number f scary rides.
D. Because almst everyne is faced with pwer failure.
14. What’s Dr Je Brisce’s attitude tward the technlgy?
A. Favrable.B. Dubtful.C. Neutral.D. Disapprving.
15. What’s the main idea f the text?
A. A new battery fr pwering yur phne is invented.
B. The traditinal way f charging yur phne is n the way ut.
C. Visitrs’ scream in Thrpe Park can be used t charge the phne.
D. The mst effective way f charging yur phne has been fund in Thrpe Park.
