At school, I was in the 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: “It’s

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. It’s 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 it’s as important as reading and writing. I’ve realized that at university I’d 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 don’t 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. I’m exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I’m 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 Future
C. Girls, Choose More Wisely D. Catch Chances, Change the World

When I saw my 10-year-old avoiding the dirty plate in the sink or my 8-year-old feeling uncomfortable about the wet sand in her hands, I'm reminded of a time when I was unwilling to get my hands a little dirty.
My parents owned a 500-acre farm in Montana to raise animals, such as cows, sheep, horses and so on. It was during the time of new life (a newborn lamb or a calf) that my favorite childhood memory took place. One exceptionally cold day, I was checking on the sheep with my mother when she spied a ewe (母羊)in trouble. The poor thing was trying to deliver her baby lamb and needed our help. My mother calmly held the ewe's head and instructed me to grab hold of the two protruding (突出)legs.
I hesitated, and must have had quite a look of panic on my young face. The slimy little things were definitely not something I wanted to touch. But I worked up my courage and wrapped my fingers around them. I can still recall the feel of unexpectedly weak legs and their sharp little hooves as if it happened yesterday.
My heart pounded in fear and excitement as I pulled with all my strength. The lamb was delivered safely, and I'd never seen anything so beautiful.
I was no stranger to seeing farm animals being born, but to have a hand in it was something

I treasured then and will treasure forever. I remember feeling excited with delight to see \lamb ” being licked clean by her mother, and I'm sure everyone got very tired of hearing me tell and retell my heroic story. Looking back, I'm so glad that I didn't refuse to get my hands dirty. If I had, the wonderful moment and the precious memory would have been lost. 28.What impressed the writer most during her childhood ?
A. Her dirty little hands. B. Her parents’ large farm.
C. Helping deliver a baby lamb. D. Raising animals on the farm. 29.How did the author feel when she was asked to help a ewe deliver her baby ? A sympathetic. B. rather frightened. C. quite astonished. D. highly delighted. 30.What point does the author try to make in the last paragraph? A. It is not unusual to see a new life coming into the world. B. It is not easy to make up and tell a heroic story in daily life.
C. Memories formed during childhood are worth valuing all life long. D. You need to get your hands dirty to experience something precious. 31.What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Valuable Life Lesson. B. A Tidy and Clean Child. C. A Ewe Delivering her Baby. D. A Beautiful Newborn Lamb.

Culture can affect not just language and customs, but also how people experience the world on surprisingly basic levels.
Researchers, with the help of brain scans, have uncovered shocking differences in perception(感知)between Westerners and Asians, what they see when they look at a city street, for example, or even how they perceive a simple line in a square, according to findings published in a leading science journal.
In western countries, culture makes people think of themselves as highly independent individuals. When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings. East Asian cultures, however, emphasize inter-dependence. When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on surroundings as well as the object.
Using an experiment involving two tasks, Dr Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that is played to American strengths. In another, they estimated the line’s length relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asians.
The level of brain activity, by tracking blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were very easy, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brains were different. For the Americans, areas linked to attention lit up more, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult — estimating the line’s size relative to the square. For the Asians, the attention areas lit up more during the harder task also — estimating the line’s length without comparing it to the square. The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into East-West differences.
In one study, for instance, researchers offered people a choice among five pens; four red
