Howtobecomeascientist

Be curious.Scientists choose to become scientists because they are curious about the world around them and how the things in it work.This curiosity leads them to investigate the how and why behind what they see.

Be patient in climbing the career ladder.　1　 There are very few careers that take longer than this one.Even when you’re doing with your education,you still have to get research under your belt.If you’re an instant-gratification(即时满足)type of person,this may not be the right career for you. 

Be hard-working and persevere(持之以恒).It’s been said that jobs in science are the lowest paid in the US.What this is getting at is that because of the long path to success,for a while you won’t be living lavishly(丰富地).　2　 Have the need to always keep learning.　3　 Whether it’s reading peer-reviewed journals,attending seminars,or working towards getting yourself published,you’ll always be learning. 

　4　 In those years of waiting for results,you need to constantly be looking for the smallest changes in what you expect to see.Your eye needs to be focused and ready at all times. 

Think differently.Think back to Newton’s apple falling on his head or Archimedes jumping into his tub and displacing water.Most people would think nothing of these events,but these men saw something else,something no one else was seeing at the time.　5　 

A.Observation skills are also necessary.

B.Becoming a scientist takes a long time.

C.Things are going to be tough for a while.

D.Then you’re probably made of the right stuff.

E.As the saying goes,“Where there is a will,there is a way.”

F.Actually what every scientist does is seek out knowledge.

G.To make progress in human knowledge,you have to think differently.

1.D　根据后文“thebettercityplacesareoftenbeing　　　byyoungermenandwomen.Shehasto　　　suchaplace”可推知,年轻人占了好的乞讨路段,这位老妇人就只能不幸地在我家周边乞讨。故选D项。

13.B　根据后文“becausesheknewIwouldseeherasa　　　personandprobablystoptotalktoher”可推知,老妇人期盼作者路过。故选B项。 

14.D　结合语境以及后文“andprobablystoptotalktoher”可知,只有作者把她当作正常人来看。故选D项。
