23、Donna Strickland was awarded the 2018 Nobel prize for physics jointly with Arthur Ashkin and Gérard Mourou. It’s the first time in 55 years that a woman has won this famous prize, but why has it taken so long? We look at five other pioneering female physicists — past and present — who actually deserve the prize.
Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Perhaps the most famous snub(冷落): then-student Bell discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967, when she was a PhD student at Cambridge. The Nobel prize that recognized this landmark discovery in 1974, however, went to her male supervisor, Antony Hewish. Recently awarded a £2.3m Breakthrough Prize, which she gave away to help under-represented students, she joked to the Guardian,“I feel I’ve done very well out of not getting a Nobel prize.”
Lene Hau
Hau is best known for leading the research team at Harvard University in 1999 that managed to slow a beam of light, before managing to stop it completely in 2001. Often topping Nobel prize prediction lists, could 2019 be Hau’s year?
Vera Rubin
Rubin discovered dark matter in the 1980s, opening up a new field of astronomy. She died in 2016, without recognition from the committee.
Chien-Shiung Wu
Wu’s “Wu experiment” helped disprove the “law of conservation of parity”. Her experimental work was helpful but never honoured, and instead, her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel prize for their theoretical work behind the study.
Lise Meitner
Meitner led groundbreaking work on the discovery of nuclear fission. However, the discovery was acknowledged by the 1944 Nobel prize for chemistry, which was won by her male co-lead, Otto Hahn.
【1】When was the discovery of radio pulsars recognized by the Nobel?
A.In 1944
B.In 1967.
C.In 1974.
D.In 1980.
【2】Which woman is most likely to win a Nobel prize later according to the text?
A.Donna Strickland
B.Jocelyn Bell Burnell
C.Lene Hau
D.Vera Rubin
【3】What do we know about the five females?
A.The five female scientists did greatly in chemistry.
B.Vera Rubin had opened up a new field in geometry.
C.Lise Meitner’s teacher won a Noble prize for her work.
D.All their findings haven’t been recognized by the Nobel.
24、 As a student starting your senior high school year, there is no doubt that you may feel both excited and anxious.How do you make a great impression on the first day of school? Here are some simple ways that may help you.
Try to be friendly and outgoing to make new friends, and show your teachers you’re prepared for the school year.【1】 If you aren’t given a school supply list, bring a notebook and pencils on the first day so you’re prepared.
Get a full night’s rest before the first day of school. If you show up tiered, you’re not going to have the energy to perform well.【2】 For example, if you know you need to wake up at 7:00 am, try to be in bed by 10:30 or 11:00 pm.
【3】 If you’re only in one classroom for the whole day, get to school in the morning a few minutes early so you have to find out where your class is and what to do with your things. If you go to multiple classrooms throughout the day, try to get to each one on time to make a good impression on your teacher.
Smile often.【4】 The first day of school is also a great chance to reach out to new people you may not know, so introduce yourself to others with a big smile and possibly you will make a new friend.
The first day of school sets the tone (定调子) for the rest of the year, so it’s also important to have learning goals and make plans for your studies.【5】 Listen carefully when your teacher speaks, and don’t forget to take notes in class.
A.Get to school early to arrive at your classes on time.
