top set for maths. my teachers recommended that i study economics and statistics as my a-level subjects, but i had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts. in fact, i was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. nobody popular in school chose to study those subjects.reality struck hard when i began attending job interviews and interviews would say: “its great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.a survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. its a sector that really can change the world. we must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. anybody can learn to code and these days its as important as reading and writing. ive realized that at university id achieved the wrong kind of literacy. not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.now i have a five-year-old daughter. i dont want her to blindly follow gender roles the way i did. i want her to know the fact a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. im exposing her to minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. im hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world.24. what does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in paragraph 2 refer to ?a. personal learning style. b. sex characteristic.c. conventional sex concept. d. profession difference.25. according to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?a. increasing job possibility. b. winning popularity.c. improving language competence d. enriching imagination.26. how did the author feel for her major choice?a. satisfied b. active c. discouraged d. regretful.27. what may be the best title for the text? a. art or science, either is ok b. good subjects, good futurec. girls, choose more wisely d. catch chances, change the worldcfailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. there is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.we experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫）and performance fatigue. in the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. and the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. the solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.years ago, i was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. applying my own rule, i determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序），never letting myself leave out a tough idea. and i always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing. experience proved that the rule works.performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. in such a situation, i work as hard as i can- then let the unconscious take over.when planning encyclopedia britannica(大英百科全书），i had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day i kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. my fatigue became almost unbearable. one day, mentally exhausted, i wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. i tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. then, i sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.an hour later, i woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. in the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. though i worked as hard as before, i felt no fatigue. success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.human beings, i believe must try to succeed. success, then, means never feeling tired.28. people with start-up fatigue are most likely to _.a. delay tasks b. work hard c. seek help d. accept failure29. what does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?a. writing essays in strict order. b. building up physical strength.c. leaving out the toughest ideas. d. dealing with the hardest task first.30. on what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?a. before starting a difficult task b. when all the solutions fail.c. if the job is rather boring. d. after finding a way out.31. according to the author, the unconscious mind may help us _.aignore mental problems b. get some nice sleepc. gain complete relief d. find the right solutiondelectric cars are dirty. in fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.people in california love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放)vehicles”, but people in california seem tobe clueless aboutwhere electricity comes from. power plants mostly use fire to make it. aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(发电机). generators are fueled by something-usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. there are a few wind farms and geothermal(地热)plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.in other words, those zero-emissions cars are likely coal-burning cars. its just because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. it is not. its as if the california greens are covering their eyes“if i cant see it, its not happening.” gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. but when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heatat the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.a gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. but the electricity you get from that gallon of gas wont get you nearly as far so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. if our electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. but for political, technical, and economic reasons, we dont use much of those energy sources.in addition, electric cars batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. and finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. when its a power plant, though， all the junk is in one place. nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.32. what is the main idea of the text?a. electric cars are far from clean b. electric cars are better than gasoline-powered onesc. people cast doubts on electric cars batteriesd. gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle33. the electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run _.a. not less than 25 miles b. as far as 50 milesc. not more than 25 miles d. as far as 25 miles34. according to the text, electric cars _.a. are more environmentally friendlyb. burn more fuel than gas-powered onesc. are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentratedd. are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill35. it can be inferred from the text that _.a. being green is good and should be encouraged in communicationb. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousinsc. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environmentd. electric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning
