21、   Some of the greatest scientists of all time are women who have made important discoveries in a variety of fields in science. Several of their contributions throughout history are even more than men’s contributions. Our list of the most famous female scientists below are organized in order of popularity so you can read about the advancements that they made.

Marie Curie (1867-1934)

Famous For: Work on radioactivity

Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize and the only woman to win this award in two fields: Physics and Chemistry. She discovered polonium and radium and her work helped with the creation of X-rays.

Jane Goodall (1934)

Famous For: Primate (灵长类) studies

Jane Goodall is known world-wide for her groundbreaking studies on primates. She is considered as the top expert on chimps in the world and is perhaps best known for her 45-year study on the social lives of these animals in Tanzania.

Rita Levi-Montalcini (1909-2012)

Famous For: Nerve growth studies

Rita Levi-Montalcini was a neurologist (神经病学家) who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1986 for her findings in Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). She was the first Nobel Prize winner to live past her 100th birthday.

Lise Meitner (1878-1968)

Famous For: Work on radioactivity and nuclear physics

Lise Meitner was a key member of a group that discovered nuclear fission (裂变). One of her colleagues, Otto Hahn, was given the Noble Prize for this work. That Meitner didn’t get the award is considered to be a huge error by the Nobel committee.

【1】Who is still contributing to the world?

22、Art exploration is not only fun and entertaining, but also educational. It allows youth to practice a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life, but also for learning. Here are some tips for growing your up-and-coming artist.

Talk with your child about their work. 【1】. When we ask “What is it?”, we are saying that it should look like something we’d recognize. Instead, ask open-ended questions like “Tell me about your picture.” You can also describe specific things your child is doing by saying things such as, “You’re making short lines. I see you are using red, green and blue.”

Do what your child does. Instead of drawing your own picture, sit down with your child and do their actions. 【2】. If your child concentrates on what you are drawing or how “good” your picture is, they are less likely to be imaginative and creative on their own.

【3】. Instead of sitting down with a specific plan or outcome in mind, let your child explore, experiment and use their imaginations. They might make a big mess or change their mind several times-this is all part of the creative process.

Support, don’t lead. Have you ever noticed that activities become much less fun when they are told by someone else?   【4】. So let them decide what materials they want to use and how and when to use them. Maybe they want to peel (剥) the paper off a crayon and use it lengthwise on the paper, instead of writing with the tip.

Get your child creating and learning. 【5】.

A．It is the same case with kids

B．Keep the process open-ended

C．Don’t shift their focus onto their drawings

D．It’s often hard to interpret a child’s drawings

E．Focus on the product, not the complex process

F．All you’ll need is a paintbrush and an open mind

G．Make big or small lines, or practice drawing circles

23、   Raina Jain's STS project started in science class. Her teacher challenged teen and her classmates to find global problems in the news that lacked solutions. Raina, 17, zeroed in on colony collapse disorder in bees. This happens when worker bees abandon their hive, eventually causing the hive to die.

Raina visited a beekeeper, a friend of her parents. She wanted to observe this problem up close. “Every year, he loses 60 percent of his hives,” she learned. “That shocked me.”

Parasites play a role in colony collapse disorder. A chemical called thymol can help rid bees of the parasites. Beekeepers often leave out a thymol containing substance. Bees can apply it to themselves while cleaning. But that substance doesn't work the same way at all temperatures, Raina notes. On hot days, for instance, it releases higher levels of thymol-amounts that might harm bees. The substance also might limit bees' ability to fly.

Raina wondered if there was a better way to protect bees. She developed her own thymol-containing substance. Then she designed a 3D- printed beehive entrance that would coat the bees. She tested how fast her substance would degrade in the sun and wind by applying the substance to bee models. Raina even kept a beehive in her backyard to test the substance's effectiveness.

Now, hundreds of beekeepers around the United States are helping Raina further test her invention. “Probably the hardest part of my project was to get people to actually use it”, Raina says. “It took time and thousands of emails. But now further data collection is underway.”

【1】What does the underlined part in the first paragraph mean?

A．Avoided the field of.

B．Suffered from.

C．Knew nothing about.

D．Focused on.

【2】Why did Raina visit the beekeeper?

A．To ask advice from him.

B．To do field observation of bees.

C．To ask for some bees for experiments.

D．To observe how a beekeeper raises bees.

【3】Raina tested her thymol-containing substance on ________.

A．artificial bees

B．bees raised by herself

C．the beehive in her backyard

D．the 3D-printed beehive entrance

【4】What is Raina doing with her new invention at present?

A．Putting it into practical use.

B．Improving its effectiveness.

C．Finding out whether it works well.

D．Getting support for it from beekeepers.
