27、How to Succeed in Science

To succeed in science, you need a lot more than luck. In my view, you have to combine intelligence with a willingness not to follow conventions(常规) when they block your forward path. Thus, these have come to be my rules for success.

【1】

That might sound proud, but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than you. It’s like playing any game. Even as a child, I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was. If you win, it gives you no pleasure. And in the game of science or life, the highest goal isn’t simply to win; it’s to win at something really difficult. 【2】

Take risks.

To make a huge success, a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble. If you are going to make a huge jump in science, you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition. 【3】 This can be more than personally upsetting.

Never do anything that bores you.

My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things, and then leaves you alone. I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike. 【4】

It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists, because you have to go to key meetings where you spot key facts that would have escaped you. And you have to chat with your competitors, even if you find them objectionable.

So my final rule is: 【5】

A．Avoid foolish people.

B．Meet challenges with great courage.

C．If you can’t stand being with your real peers, get out of science.

D．Put it another way, it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top.

E．Make sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess.

F．In fact, I find it hard to do well in something I like.

G．Besides, you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes.

28、While many Thais understand the common greeting ways used around the world, they feel proud of their special way of greeting — wai. Therefore, being skilled in such non-verbal communication can help you win deeper respect and acceptance among the Thais with whom you interact.

“Wai” sounds like the word “why” and is usually paired with the word “hello” in Thai, thereby making it a way of greeting and saying hello; Thais also wai one another when thanking someone, apologizing to someone, saying goodbye or showing respect.

Largely speaking, the way you wai indicates the degree of respect. To make a wai, you should first put palms (手心) together, and bring your hands to touch the middle of your chest and slightly lower your head so that your index fingers (食指) touch your nose. You can use this wai for friends and people of the same ages. The second, and a bit more formal, way to wai is to bring your thumbs to the tip of your nose and your index fingers to your forehead. And lastly, for royalty (皇室) and monks, lower your head until your thumbs are in-between your eyebrows. In this case, men should bow while women should bend their knees.

As a foreigner, you are not supposed to give a wai to everyone you see, but you are often expected to return the greeting. Thais won’t feel disrespected if you make mistakes during the exchange of wais, but will appreciate the effort you take to respect local customs. The safest bet is to wai back who wais you; however, do not wai anyone who is clearly younger than you. Instead, give him a nod and smile.

【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?

A．Thais know little about some common ways to greet.

B．You can win an award when you give a wai to a Thai.

C．It can be beneficial if you can wai properly in Thailand.

D．Thais think highly of their ways of verbal communication.

【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The types of wais.

B．The occasions to use a wai.

C．The benefits of a wai.

D．The people to use a wai to.

【3】Which of the following is the wai you use to greet a friend?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【4】How is a foreigner supposed to wai in Thailand?

A．To give a wai to a child.

B．To give a wai to whoever he meets.

C．To nod his head and smile at the same time.

D．To return a wai to someone not younger than him.

29、Way of Life for Students

The Internet is way of life for US college students, with research showing them to be one of the most connected groups.

A recent study by Harris Interactive and 360 Youth found that 93 percent of American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in 2007. That is slow but could be the result of the already high number of college Internet users.

About 88 percent of American college students own a computer, and more than half have broadband(宽带)connections. Furthermore, 67 percent own cell phones and 36 percent use their mobile devices to visit the Internet. Study findings are that 42 percent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72 percent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 percent using at least two email addresses.

The most popular online social activity is forwarding messages to friends or family, with 37 percent of college students saying they do so. The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing(冲浪)habits and into the buying habits of this group, and found them responsible for more than US $ 210 billion in sales last year alone.

College students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 percent saying low prices were important when shopping.

The study also showed that 65 percent make loan(贷款)payments; 41 percent of freshmen have a credit card; and 79 percent of seniors have a credit card. A significant number of charges on these credit cards are likely to be for entertainment and leisure expenses.

【1】College students in the US, as this passage shows,______.

A. waste much time visiting the Internet

B. lead an exciting life by using the Internet

C. don’t have to learn their lessons in their classrooms

D. spend too much time, in the opinion of the writer, visiting the Internet

【2】To communicate with friends, nearly half of the college students use________.

A. letters B. telephones

C. text messages on mobile phones D. emails

30、I was envious of my friends who got to stay at school for lunch. They _______ the same things as the characters in our favourite TV shows. The meals we ate at home were different. One day, a classmate asked what I ate for lunch. I _______, feeling like I'd been caught. Like most days, we'd had fried rice. "Sandwiches," I lied. My face felt hot as I turned away, _______ she wouldn't ask anything more.

Still, there was one day of the year when Mom made an _______ and we were allowed to stay at school for lunch. Every year, there was Chinese Day at the cafeteria to _______ Chinese New Year. "The school is honoring our heritage," Mom would say. The first Chinese Day lunch I can _______ was when I was about six. I had_______ this day for weeks. When the bell rang for lunch, I rushed to the cafeteria. As I stood in line, I imagined the _______ they'd have waiting for us.   

There would be _______, surely—every Chinese New Year meal included fish. I could explain to my friends what Mom had told us: how the ________ for "fish" in Chinese sounded like another word meaning abundance. There would be chicken, too, probably with the head still on, because a whole chicken for Chinese New Year ________ wholeness.

The line was slowly moving forward until ________ it was my turn. The cafeteria worker passed me my plate and I looked down. I barely________ anything. All I did was sit there, confused. They called this "Chinese" lunch, so why had I never ________it before? Those first few bites, I realized later, were my ________ to Chinese-Canadian cuisine.
