Jane Goodall

The most famous primate （靈长目动物） scientist in history， Jane Goodall， was famous for her work with chimps and as a champion of animal rights.

Marie Curie was born in Poland. As a child of two teachers， Marie was taught to read and write early. She was a bright child and did well in school. As Marie grew older， her family came upon hard times. Poland was under the control of Russia at the time. People weren t allowed to read or write anything in Polish. Her father lost his job because he was in favor of Polish rule. When Marie was ten， her oldest sister died from disease. Two years later her mother also passed away.

After graduating from high school， Marie wanted to attend a university， but this wasn t something that young women did in Poland in the 1800s. The university was for men. However， a university in Paris called the Sorbonne allowed women to attend. Marie didn t have enough money to go there， but agreed to work to help her sister Bronislawa to go to school in France. During this period Marie had read a lot of books on math and physics.

After Bronistawa graduated， Marie moved to France and entered the Sorbonne， where she earned her degree in Physics. In 1894 Marie met Pierre Curie. They married a year later.

In 1903， the Nobel Prize for physics was awarded to Marie and Pierre Curie as well as Henri Becquerel for their work in radiation （放射現象）. Marie became the first woman to be awarded the prize. In 1911 Marie won the Nobel Prize for chemistry for discovering polonium and radium. She was the first person to be awarded two Nobel Prizes. Soon doctors found that X-ray could help with curing （治愈） cancer.

In 1934 Marie died from overexposure （过度接触） to radiation， both from her experiments and her work with X-ray machines.

4. What does the text say about Marie during childhood？

A. She was strongly against Russian rule.

B. She was homeschooled by her parents.

C. She suffered one misfortune after another.

D. She set aside her studies to support her family.

5. Why didn t Marie receive university education in Poland？

A. She was too poor to afford it.

B. She preferred to study in Paris， France.

C. The Polish people were forbidden to use Polish.

D. Universities there didn t accept women students then.

6. What achievement did Marie make？

A. She set a historic record.

B. She invented X-ray machines.

C. She made practical use of her discoveries.

D. She won two Nobel Prizes in the same field.

7. What can we infer about Marie from the text？

B. She devoted herself entirely to science.

C. She made amazing but debatable discoveries.

D. She won the Nobel Prizes with her husband s help.

Robot teachers

If you think of the jobs robots could never do， you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers， but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating （低估） what robots can do？ In some cases， they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also， some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all？

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom： 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students  faces， movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It s not a popular opinion and it s unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain， though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world， there aren t enough teachers and 9—16 percent of children under the age of 14 don t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won t get stressed， or tired， or move somewhere for an easier， higher-paid job.

Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers？” but “How can robots help teachers？” Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails， arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work， including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports， teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

8. In most people s mind， what kind of jobs are robots more likely to do？

A. Dirty jobs.   B. Manual jobs. C. Mental jobs.    D. Tiresome jobs.

9. What can be known about robot doctors in the text？

A. They are already in use.    B. They are being developed.

C. They are beyond imagination.    D. They are far from being perfect.

10. What can we know from the 2nd paragraph？

A. Robots will replace teachers in 2027.

B. Robots will act as assistant teachers.

C. Robots will mainly be used in monitoring students.

D. Anthony Seldon s prediction is not widely accepted yet.

11. What is mainly discussed in the last two paragraphs？

A. Advantages of robot teachers over humans.

B. Changes robot teachers will bring to education.

C. The author s opinion about robot teachers.

D. Why robot teachers are badly needed in poor areas.

12. What s the author s attitude towards the appearance of robot teachers？

A. Ambiguous.     B. Eager.       C. Frightened.      D. Objective.

D

The Lisbon trip， for example， includes surfing lessons， exercise by the sea， a day of boating and dinner with a local family. Beattie says he does not want the travelers to be too busy going from one place to another.
