Mad Scientist Stereotype Outdated
  Do people still imagine a physicist as a bearded man in glasses or has the image of the mad
scientist changed? The Institute of Physics set out to find out whether the stereotype of a physics
‘boffin’(科学家)still exists by conducting a survey on shoppers in London.The people were
asked to identify the physicist from a photograph of a line-up of possible suspects.98 percent of
those asked got it wrong.The majority of people picked a white male of around 60,wearing
glasses and with a white beard.
  While this stereotype may have been the image of all average physicist fifty years ago,the
reality is now very different Since 1960 the number of young women entering physics has
doubled and the average age of a physicist is now 31.
  The stereotype of the absent-minded scientist has lasted a long time because the media and
Hollywood help promote the image of men in white lab coats with glasses sitting by blackboards
full of equations(等式)or working with fizzing(嘶嘶响)test tubes.These stereotypes are really
damaging to society.Very good school children are put off studying science because they don’t
see people like themselves on television or in magazines doing science.They simply don’t relate
to the media’s image of the mad scientist.
  This is one reason why fewer young people are choosing to do science at university.If we
want to encourage more young people to study science subjects,we need to change this image of
the scientist and make science careers more attractive.But we must also develop children’s
interest in science.
  In an attempt to change this negative image,an increasing number of science festivals are
being organized.Thousands of people from secondary schools are also encouraged to take part in the internationwide science competitions of which the most popular are the national science Olympiads.Winning national teams then get the opportunity to take part in the International Science Olympiads which are held in a different county every year.These events are all interesting for the young people who take part but they only involve a small proportion of students who are already interested in science.It seems that there is a long way to go before science becomes attractive as subjects like computer studies or fashion and design.
16 Most people have similar ideas of what a physicist looks like.
  A  Right    B  Wrong    C  Not mentioned
17 The majority of physicists in Britain today are Cambridge graduates
  A  Right    B  Wrong    C  Not mentioned
18 The media and the cinema have played a role in promoting the image of the mad scientist.
  A  Right    B  Wrong    C  Not mentioned
19 There will be more women scientists than men scientists in the future
  A  Right    B  Wrong    C  Not mentioned
20 More children will study science if it becomes more attractive.
  A  Right    B  Wrong    C  Not mentioned
21 The image of the mad scientist is really encouraging to society.
  A  Right    B  Wrong    C  Not mentioned
22 The International Science Olympiads are held once every two years.
  A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned

Cloning(克隆):Future  Perfect?
1  A clone is all exact copy of a plant or animal produced from any one cell. Since Scottish scientists reported that they had managed to clone a sheep named Dolly in 1997,research into cloning has grown rapidly.In May 1998,scientists in Massachusetts managed to create two identical calves(牛犊)using cloning technology.A mouse has also been cloned successfully, But the debate over cloning humans really started when Chicago physicist Richard Seed made a surprising announcement:“We will have managed to clone a human being within the next two years,”he told the world.
2  Seed’S announcement provoked a lot of media attention,most of it negative.In Europe,
nineteen nations have already signed an agreement banning human cloning and in the US the
President announced:”We will be introducing a law to ban all human cloning and many states in
the US will have passed anti-cloning laws by the end of the year.’’
3  Many researchers are not so negative about cloning,They are worried that laws banning
human cloning will threaten important research.In March,The New England Journal of Medicine
called any plan to ban research on cloning humans seriously mistaken.Many researchers also
believe that in spite of attempts to ban it,human cloning will have become routine by 2010
because it is impossible to stop the progress of science.
4 Is there reason to fear that cloning will lead to a nightmare world? The public has been
bombarded(轰炸)with newspaper articles,television shows and films,as well as cartoons.Such
information is often misleading,and makes people wonder what on earth the scientists will be
doing next.
5 Within the next five to ten years scientists will probably have found a way of cloning humans.  It could be that pretty soon we will be able to choose the person that we want our child to look like.But how would it feel to be a clone among hundreds,the anti-cloners ask.Pretty cool, answer the pr-cloners(赞成克隆的人).

第一篇
More Than a Ride to School
    The National Education Association claims.“The school bus is a mirror of the community.”
They further add that,unfortunately, what appears on the exterior does not always reflect the
reality of a chosen community.They are right--sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl
Denson. Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl.
    Bruce Hardy.school bus driver for Althouse BUS Company has been Liesl’s bus driver since
kindergarten.Last year when Liesl’s family moved to Parkesburg,knowing her bus went by her
new residence。she requested to ride the same bus
  This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus.She says,”It’s been a
   great ride so far! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener.Sometimes when you’re a child adults do not think that what you have to say is important.Mr.Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important.’’Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree.
