Passage Two
I don
鈥檛 ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it鈥檚 like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement鈥昷obs, research papers, awards鈥晈as viewed through the lens of gender (鎬у垾) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (鐩稿皪浜�) right brain, or nature versus nurture (鍩硅偛), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don鈥檛 talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn鈥檛 want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don鈥檛 study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women鈥檚 college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how may of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don鈥檛 dismiss those concerns. Still, I don鈥檛 tell them 鈥渨ar鈥� stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that鈥檚 a sight worth talking about.
62. Why doesn鈥檛 the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A) She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
B) She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.
C) She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
D) She finds space research more important.锛圔锛�
63. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author鈥檚 failures to ________.
A) the very fact that she is a woman
B) her involvement in gender politics
C) her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
D) the burden she bears in a male-dominated society锛圓锛�
64. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?
A) Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.
B) Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.
C) People鈥檚 stereotyped attitude toward female scientists.
D) Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurtured.锛圕锛�
65. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class?
A) Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues.
B) Her students鈥� performance has brought back her confidence.
C) Her female students can do just as well as male students.
D) More female students are pursuing science than before.锛圖锛�
66. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?
A) Women students needn鈥檛 have the concerns of her generation.
B) Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.
C) Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
D) Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.锛圕锛�
