A
Donna Strickland was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Arthur Ashkin and Gerard 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 £2.3 million 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 2020 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 honored, and instead, her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize 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 in Chemistry, which was won by her male co-worker , 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 well in chemistry.
B. Vera Rubin had opened up a new field in geometry.
C. Lise Meitner's teacher won a Nobel Prize for her work.
D. The five female scientists haven't been awarded Nobel Prize.
B
Girls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, and the leaders of a group of girls' schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls' Day School Trust（GDST）, will tell the group that sport can help girls deal with failure.
“A11 girls, not just the sporty ones, should take physical exercise. Ms Fraser says. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms Fraser will tell the group that she supports “sport for all”. "That's why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond,“ she says.
The GDST draws on research from the Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion（比例）of boys, the research suggests.
Ms Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80 % of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice? who once was a skater and tennis player, and the head of the International Monetary Fund? Christine Lagarde? who was in the French national swimming team. Ms Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis and Katherine Grainger are excellent role models for young women but says women's sport needs more money and more news reports.
Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School for Girls, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. “Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey（曲棍球）said Ms Dunsford.
4. Which of the following ideas would Ms Fraser agree with?
A. Boys are born to be sport lovers.
B. Girls are less confident than boys.
C. More should be done to make girls do sports.
D. Those taking part in the sport are always successes.
5. What's the proportion of boys who never take exercise?

A.1/10. B. 1/5. C, 1/4. D. 2/5.
6. Ms Fraser mentions those famous women to show.
A. hard work will pay off B. it's not easy to be great
C. sport can help girls to succeed D. it's necessary to balance work and sport
7. What's the purpose of the text?
A. To explain the key to success. B. To show the importance of sport.
C. To introduce more sports to girls. D. To encourage more girls to do sports.
C
Forget wearing your heart on your sleeve. It's your hair that reveals what you're really like.
If you want to show your goal-set side? go for a high ponytail. People with this hairstyle tend to be results-driven and logical, according to Jean Haner, a US expert in face reading who wrote The Wisdom of Your Face. When she first came out as an actress, Li Bingbing's looks were often described as fragile, partly because of her long locks. But now, her polished high ponytail has convinced everyone that she is unstoppable and will go to any lengths to achieve her goals.
Wavy hair is attractive to many. But if you have curly hair and all you want to do is straighten it, this usually means your life is too chaotic（混舌L） and you need to calm down. US singer Taylor Swift is a perfect example of this kind. By making hair straight. she's controlling its intensity and giving herself a sense of calmness, according to Cosmopolitan magazine. She may have decided to enjoy herself for a moment after all the ups and downs in her love life.
Want to have more fun in your life? Curly hair may give you away. For those who have straight hair that is always curled? it can mean they're craving for a more interesting life. The theory is that curly hair is more interesting than straight hair and will lead to more exciting experiences. If you don't believe it, take US singer Beyonce Knowles' case as an example. Her curly hairdo presents a more positive and fun image to the world.
If you have a super short wash — and — go hairstyle? you must be super confident. Miley Cyrus is one of those types. Long gone are the days when she was the lovely Disney star who had long wavy strands. Now she has a super short wash — and — go hairdo that is as rebellious（叛逆的）as her personality. As she told E—Online, by keeping her hair short, she is speaking on behalf of girls everywhere, breaking the stereotype of more traditional hairstyles. 8. What can we learn from the text?

Companies that employ workers have an interest in keeping the workplace safe. Job-related injuries are something that responsible employers avoid. They take the time and use company resources to make sure that the people who come to work each day are safe.
Not only does this make good sense from a moral standpoint, but it also makes good financial sense. If a worker is injured on the job, it costs the company in terms of lost man hours, increased insurance costs, workers' compensation premiums（赔偿金），and legal costs.
Productivity is lost when other workers have to stop doing their jobs to deal with the situation. Even after the injured worker has been sent home or taken to hospital, other employees may be unfocused or need to take time off from work in the result of the incident.
When a workplace is safe, workers feel more comfortable and confident when they are in that environment. Productivity gets a promotion, and profits follow suit. Absence also drops when employers take steps to carry out an effective safety program.
Investing in a good safety program brings with it other benefits too. When employees feel safe in the workplace and absence rates are kept down, they can focus on serving the company's customers properly. Many companies offer products or services that are similar to those that other companies carry or provide. Customers will decide which companies they want to deal with based on which one they feel provides the best customer service. Increased absence means longer wait times and customers are quite prepared to move on to another company they feel will be able to help them in a more timely manner if they are not getting the level of attention that they deserve.
Everyone in the workplace has a duty and a responsibility to do whatever they can to keep the working environment safe. Managers should deal with employee concerns about safety issues in an appropriate manner.
12. What bad effect does an incident have according to the text?
A. The company may close down.
B. Workers may be hard to concentrate.
C. The quality of products may decline.
D. Workers may refuse to work again.
13. What do we know about the safe workplace from paragraph 4?
A. It can inspire workers' creativity.
B. It can bring workers a higher pay.
C. It can put an end to workers' absence.
D. It can bring the employer more money.
14. On what condition will the customers move on to another company according to the text?
A. If they can't get a safer product.
B. If they have to wait for a long time to get deserved attention.
C. If they feel the company can't provide a safer workplace for them.
D. If they find the company provides the same products as others offer.
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. How to Create a Safer Workplace
B. Why Safety Is Important in the Workplace
C. How Employees Can Protect Themselves
D. Companies Are Ensuring Employees' Safety

Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. 16 One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get weekly pocket money. 17
First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. 18 By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget.
In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. 19 They believe helping at home is a normal part of family life.
Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. 20 They can spend it by buying things they want. They can save it for future use. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.
A. Others get monthly pocket money.
B. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause.
C. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount?
D. Some children are not good at managing their pocket money.
