Female Scientists Who Have Changed the World

There are still hundreds of relatively-unknown women who have changed the world with their research throughout history.

Tiera Guinn

　　The scientist hasn’t yet graduated from college, but Tiera Guinn’s already doing rocket science. The MIT (麻省理工学院) senior is helping build a rocket for the United States that could be one of the biggest and most powerful ever made. She’s an aerospace major with high credit points who also works as a Rocket Structural Design and Analysis Engineer for the Space Launch System that aerospace company Boeing is building for the US.

Elizabeth Blackwell

　　Elizabeth Blackwell, who was born in Bristol, England in 1821, was the first woman to graduate from medical school in the United States. She became an activist for poor American women’s health, and went on to found a medical school for women in England.

Jane Goodall

　　The most famous primate (灵长目) scientist in history, Jane Goodall was known for her work with chimps and as a champion of animal rights. And Goodall wasn’t just working in a lab; she climbed trees and imitated the behaviour of chimps in Tanzania to gain their trust and study them in their natural habitat.

Rachel Carson

　　In the 1960s, one environmental scientist’s voice rose above the rest to become central to American politics, culture, and foreign policy: Rachel Carson’s. Her article,“Silent Spring”, warned of the dangers of pesticides and chemicals to humans, plants, and animals, and was a landmark in the nation’s environmental history.

Kids and science seem to be made for each other!

The basic science is a combination of thought and experiment called the scientific method. It’s where you start with an idea, create a way to prove or disprove your idea, and show what you learned based on facts. Learning to follow this process helps you think logically and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study. To give a child practice with these thinking skills is like giving vitamins (维生素) to a developing mind.

One of the greatest things we can teach our children is to love learning. Learning science is a great way to do so. Children are easy to be interested in science. Because much of science is hands-on, it attracts most children. Nothing makes a child sit up and take notice like the “WOW!” of a great science showing.

Science opens doors to many subjects at school. Building love for science can be helpful in other areas of study. For example, one cannot love science for very long without becoming good at its language—math! So science encourages children to study math. An interest in science is an interest in how things were once understood compared to how they are understood now. Thus studying science leads itself easily to studying history. And after you do an experiment, you need to write a lab report. Therefore, writing becomes an important part of science.

Science is the basic thing for much of our life. The science of farming shows how our food is produced; biomedical (生物医学) science keeps us healthy; even our beds these days are designed according to scientific facts. We almost eat, sleep and breathe with the help of science! When we prepare the next generation of voters, creators and policy-makers, it is important to make sure they are not only comfortable but also good at science.

4. What does learning the scientific method mean to kids according to the second paragraph?

A. Refusing any ideas that are not logical.

B. Helping them develop thinking skills.

C. Learning many areas of study.

D. Learning to do experiment.

解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三、四句“Learning to follow this process helps you think logically and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study.”可知,学习科学可以培养孩子们良好的思维方式。故选B。

答案:B

5. Which of the following statements would the author agree with?

A. Science is too difficult for children.

B. Children usually consider science boring.

C. Science could make children love learning.

D. Children who can’t think carefully shouldn’t learn science.

解析:推理判断题。根据文章第三段前两句“One of the greatest things we can teach our children is to love learning. Learning science is a great way to do so.”可知,作者认为学习科学可以让孩子们爱上学习。故选C。

答案:C

6. What can we learn about children who work hard at science at school?

A. They usually lose interest in other activities.

B. They usually have no time for other subjects.

C. They are usually bad at such subjects like history.

D. They are likely to learn many other subjects well.

解析:细节理解题。根据文章第四段第四句“So science encourages children to study math.”和本段最后一句“Therefore, writing becomes an important part of science.”可知,努力学习科学的孩子们,学好别的科目的可能性也会增大。故选D。

答案:D

7. What is the text mainly about?

A. Why kids should learn science.

B. Why science is important.

C. What kids should learn at school.
