| Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with the ir husbands, and othe rs raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists. In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her fathe r collected fossils (化石) in the ir village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years. When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons (骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn't become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family. In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. the y received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with anothe r scientist.

| The largest-ever chariot pit (战车坑) of relics with carts and horse bones has been discovered in Henan Province. It may lead to the uncovering of chariot pit groups that could be a key to understanding Chinese civilizations that existed more than 2,000 years ago. Experts said the relics are dated more than 300 years earlier than the famous warriors (武士) in Shaanxi Province. What excited the experts were two othe r projects that located two huge pits with similar features. "It is absolutely a miracle. the se relics indicate that the re could be a tomb group in this area, which is likely to be important for China's archaeological (考古学的) studies," said Ma Juncai, a leading relic researcher in the province. In ancient China, carts, sheep, spoons and so on were buried to ensure that dead people had a happy afterlife. the number and quality of the sacrifices indicated the social status of the dead. the custom was carried into the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Qinshihuang's tomb, located near Xi'an, the capital of Shanxi Province, is accompanied by thousands of wood or clay figures of warriors and horses. the tomb is probably the most well-known. The discovered pit measures 10.4 meters long, 8.4 meters wide and 5 meters deep. It holds 20 carts in different sizes. the smallest one is 1.05 meters long and 1.3 meters wide. Experts think that 40 horses are likely to be found as well. Careful plans need to be made to deal with the demanding uncovering."the clay is very weak and a small misstep can destroy the whole project. That's why we need to take every step very carefully to protect the se cherished cultural relics," Ma said. |

| To be a good teacher, you need some of the talents of a good actor: you must be able to hold attention and interest of your students; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; you must be able to act what you are teaching,in order to make its meaning clear. A good teacher does't sit still before his class；he stands all the time while he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms,hands and fingers to help him in his explanations,and his face to express his feelings. Listen to him,and you will hear the loudness, the quality and musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for the re are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. the actor has to speak words he has learnt by heart；he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part,even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all the se carefully learnt words seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play-the y ask and answer questions,the y obey orders,and if the y don't understand something,the y say no. the teacher the refore has to meet the needs of his audience. He can't learn his part by heart,because the ir brains couldn't keep discipline:the y couldn't keep strictly to what another has written. |
| 1. If you want to be a good teacher, you should _____. |
| A. act out what you have learnt strictly B. be a good actor on the stage C. sit all the time while teaching D. suit the need of different students |
| 2. the underlined word talents in the first paragraph means _____. |
| A. methods B. girls C. wishes D interests |
| 3. In what way is a teacher's work different from that of an actor's? |
| A. the teacher must learn everything by heart. B. He has to deal with unexpected situations. C. He has to use more facial expressions. D. He has to control his voice better than an actor. |
| 4. the main difference between students and audience in the the atre is that students _____. |
| A. move around the class B. keep silent all the time C. take an active part in class D. 1ike body language |
| 5. If Tom Hanks,the famous actor, would like to be a good teacher, he may need training in _____. |

| Being able to connect with others through small talk can lead to big things, according to Debra Fine, author of"the Fine Art of Small Talk." Fine and her fellow authorities on making small talk offer the following tips for starting-and ending-conversations: 1. As you prepare for a conference, come up with three things to talk about as well as four generic questions that will get othe rs talking. If you've met the host before, __________, such as her passion for a sport or a charity you're both involved in. 2. Be the first to say"Hello." If you're not sure the othe r person will remember you, offer your name to ease the pressure. For example:"Charles Bartlett? Lynn Schmidt-good to see you again." Smile first and always shake hands when you meet someone. 3. Have something interesting to contribute. Keeping up with current events and culture will provide you with great conversation builders, leading with"What do you think of...?""Have you heard...?" Stay away from negative or controversial topics. 4. Have a few exit lines ready so that you can both gracefully move on. For example,"I need to check in with a client over the re,""I skipped lunch today, so I need to visit the buffet," or you can offer to refresh the ir drink. When should you exit a conversation? According to Susan RoAne, author and speaker known as the "Mingling Maven," your aim in all conversations should be to make a good impression and leave people wanting more. To do that, she advises:"Be bright. Be brief. Be gone." |
