One late night, I got a telephone call from a neighborhood. When I arrived there at 2:30 a.m., the only building was dark except for a single light in the first floor window. So I walked up and knocked at the door.“Just a minute,” answered a weak voice. After a long time, the door opened and a small woman stood in front of me. Next to her was a small suitcase.Quickly I took her suitcase to the car and then returned to hold her. She took my arm and we walked slowly to the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness. “Its nothing”, I told her, “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”When we got in the car, she asked, “Can you drive me through downtown?”“But its not the shortest way,” I replied.“Im in no hurry.” she said slowly, “Im on my way to a hospice（临终医院）. I dont have any family left. The doctor says I dont have very long time.”I quietly turned off themeter. For the next two hours, we drove through the city and passed the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived, and some other special places. As the sun was rising, we stopped in front of a low building where two nurses were waiting.“How much should I pay?” she asked. “Nothing.”I replied.“But you have to make a living.”“Oh, there are other passengers.” Without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.

She made important discoveries about genes（基因）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 masters 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 was 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 a temporary（临时的）job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent（永久的）position in 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.1.When did McClintock get a doctorate degree?A.In 1921B.In 1923C.In 1925D.In 19272.During the great economic depression in the US,_.A.young scientists had trouble finding a jobB.female geneticists were not wanted at allC.male geneticists were in great demandD.male scientists were out of work3.Which of the following jobs may be most beneficial to I McClintocks research?A.The job as a botany teacher.B.The temporary job in the genetics department.C.The permanent position in the laboratory.D.The job of cancer research.4.McClintock was awarded a Nobel Prize because of_.A.her research in botanyB.her contribution to genetic engineeringC.her discoveries about genes and chromosomesD.her unshared work in the laboratory5.The text is likely to appear in_.A.a biographyB.a history paperC.a comic stripD.a science fictionCDo you look like your name? Scientists say theres a good chance you do.This comes from a new study published in a magazine. Researchers from Israel found that our given names may have something to do with our facial appearances.Lead writer Yonat Zwebner of a university, along with her team, did eight different experiments in Israel and France. The different experiments were set up to answer two main questions: whether people can correctly guess a persons name based only on a photo of a face and what is behind this matching effect.During the experiments, researchers asked students to look at photos of peoples faces and guess each persons name from a list of four choices. They correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time, which was better than the 25 percent of a random（随机地）guess.Whats more, when the faces the students looked at came from within their own country, they were able to best match the faces to the names. French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.Researchers believe it is possible that people change their appearances without paying attention to it, to match their names. One study especiallybacked upthis idea, showing that a hairstyle, something that can be changed by people easily, was enough to guide others in correctly guessing their names.“Earlier research has shown there are cultural stereotypes（老套观念）carried by names, including how someone should look. For example, people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim. We believe these stereotypes can, over time, influence peoples facial appearances,”Zwebner said.The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a name for their children.“If a name can influence appearance, it can influence many other things. This research opens an important direction that may suggest how parents should consider better the names for their children,” said Zwebner, who recently had a baby herself.“As parents, it was really difficult for us to name our 12-day-old daughter as we know the meanings of names.”1.One of the purposes of the experiments is to_.A.give the students a chance to know each otherB.explain what influences our facial appearancesC.find out different characteristics carried by different namesD.see if people can correctly guess a persons name based only on a photo of a face2.People could match the faces to the names more easily_.A.when they did a random guessB.when the faces are from other countriesC.when the faces are from their own countryD.when they have more knowledge themselves3.The underlined part backed up in Paragraph 6 most probably means “_”.A.supportedB.changedC.comparedD.cancelled4.Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 are mainly to show_.A.the results of changing namesB.names have something to do with appearancesC.the importance of cultural stereotypes carried by namesD.the importance of a hairstyle in guessing different looks5.According to Zwebner, we know that_.A.facial appearances may influence namesB.we shouldnt think of others just according to their namesC.a name may influence many things and should be well chosenD.we should pay less attention to the meanings of names and be ourselvesD(1) Dear Mrs. WebDear Mrs. Web provides free personal advice and answers worldwide email questions.
