21、Barbara McClintock was one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century. She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes (染色体).
Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. Her family moved to the Brooklyn area of New York City in 1908. Barbara was an active child with interests in sports and music. She also developed an interest in science.
She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.
Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master’s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree.
McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand.
An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. It is a research center on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started in a temporary job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent position with the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.
By the 1970s, her discoveries had had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize.

24、We all think best when we're well rested. A clear, alert brain allows us to focus, learn and remember information, and to be creative. On the other hand, when we're sleepy, we make more mistakes and are less productive in school and at work. In a report from Psychological Science, researchers at the University of Paris report sleeping between two learning sessions improve your learning.
In this study, 60 French adults were randomly divided into a "sleep" or "wake" group. They all were given 16 French-Swahili words in pairs in random order. After studying a pair for seven seconds , the Swahili word appeared on a screen and the participants were asked to type the French translation. If they made a mistake, the words appeared again until every word-pair was correctly translated. Twelve hours later, they did it again. The wake group did their tests first in the morning and then in the evening so they had no time to sleep in between. The sleep group members did their first session in the evening and the second came the next morning, after a good night's sleep.
The sleep group members did much better at recalling the correct translations and were quicker to learn when they make a mistake. Both groups were eventually able to learn all the word-pairs but getting some sleep allowed the sleep group to learn in less time and with less effort, A follow-up showed that the sleep group still did better than the wake group a week later and even six months later,
So, if you have to learn something, study and then get a good night's sleep.
【1】What is the difference of the two groups' tasks? ______
A. Who to learn. B. What to learn.
C. How to learn the words. D. When to learn the words.
【2】How did the participants deal with a typing mistake they made? ______
A. Translating the same word again.
B. Leaving the wrong word alone.
C. Asking for a correct answer.
D. Redoing the typing twelve hours later.
【3】What does the underlined word it in Para. 2 refer to? ______
A. Correcting the mistakes.
B. Typing the French translation.
C. Typing the Swahili words.
D. Showing the Swahili word on the screen.
【4】Compared to the wake group , those in the sleep group ______ .
A. typed more quickly
B. made fewer translation mistakes.
C. learned with more effort.
D. learned all the word- pairs.
