21、On September 9, senior Andre Samaraweera qualified as a semifinalist for the National Merit Scholarship. In the spring, Andre will find out if he has qualified for the finalist position. “Seeing my score on the PSAT was by far the most exciting because it felt pleasant to see all my hard work pay off,” Andre said. “I was happy that I could qualify to get a scholarship because of my academic scores.”

The National Merit Scholarship is one awarded to those who do well on the Preliminary SAT or the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation will grant around 7,600 students the scholarship after an intense filtering of about 1.6 million entries.

“The most difficult part of the PSAT was actually having to study,” Andre said. “I had to force myself to actually study, because I knew if I didn’t, I wouldn’t do well and would probably not make as high of a score as I had.”

Andre took the PSAT his junior year and got a 1450/1520 and missed three questions in English and made a perfect score on the math portion.

As a semifinalist he has already passed multiple stages in the selection process and now competes with only around 16,000 students for scholarships.

The first scholarship opportunities are single-payment scholarships worth $2,500; the second scholarship is a corporate sponsored one which is for finalists with career plans the sponsor wishes to encourage. Finally there is the college-sponsored scholarship which is where officials of each sponsor college select winners of their awards from finalists who have been accepted for admission.

“It’s just a PSAT. The real SAT has a lot more impact on my future,” Andre said. “It’s not hard to know everything for the PSAT; the difficulty lies in applying everything perfectly.”

23、Drug problems

If you're worried about your own or someone else's drug taking or misuse, it's good to know the facts.

Why take drugs?

Drug users don't start using drugs with the intention of becoming addicted. But many drugs contain addictive substances(物质) and even people who use them occasionally can become dependent and need to use them regularly.

Reasons why people start using drugs can include: to escape problems they may be having in other parts of their life, peer pressure and fitting in with another group of people, being curious about the effects of drugs.

If you start to use drugs on a regular basis, or if you become dependent on them, it can affect your family and friends as well as having a serious impact on your own physical and mental well-being.

Drug overdoses can be fatal. You can die instantly from misusing substances and drugs that you can buy over the counters.

Signs of drug abuse and misuse

There is not a common list of symptoms that you can use to tell if you or someone you know is misusing drugs. That's because drug use affects different people in different ways, depending on the type of drugs they're using.

Although anxiety, tiredness and a change in sleeping habits can be signs of drug use, they can also be caused by changes in your body, stress or other problems.

_____________________

Drugs are categorised into three classes based on their overall level of harm. Class A drugs are the most dangerous, however, all the drugs in all three classes are harmful and addictive.

Remember that all drugs are illegal, even Class C drugs like cannabis(大麻烟). If you're caught selling them to other people, or carrying a small amount in your pocket, it's likely that the police will get involved.

If you're found guilty of any of these offences, you may face a fine or time in custody(拘留), with Class A drugs carrying the most severe sentences.

Worried about a friend?

If you think that one of your friends or relatives is misusing drugs, you may want to approach them and talk about it. It's not your responsibility to make them stop, but you can tell them about how their behaviour is affecting your relationship.

If they ask for help with their problem, then it's important to listen and help them find the right information and treatment.

National Drugs Helpline

If you're worried about drug abuse and addiction you can call the National Drugs Helpline on 0800 776 600 for confidential advice—lines are open seven days a week. Calls are free and they won't show up on your phone bill, but you may be charged if you use a mobile.

24、   Marie Tharp, who was born in Michigan in 1920, produced one of the world's first maps of the ocean floor. As a female, Tharp never thought she could do soil surveying like her father. Women during her time were prevented from working in the scientific field. Jobs for young women were limited in options to: secretary, bookkeeper, nurse, school teacher or librarian.

During World War II, since many of the men were off fighting, there was opportunity for women to fill certain job roles. She earned her Master's degree in Geology in 1944, and another Bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1948. After receiving her degree, she worked as a research assistant (助理) at the Lamont Geological Laboratory in Columbia University. While there, she met Bruce Heezen, who she would work together with for the next 30 years.

Before the 1950s, little was known about the layout of the ocean floor. Tharp and Heezen became part of a research project to map it. However, women at that time were not allowed on boats. So Heezen went out and collected the initial data, which was sent to Tharp back at home. Working with only pens and rulers, she drew the details of the ocean floor using longitude (经度) by latitude degree (纬度). It was a technical process, but Tharp got the task done. The first published map of the North Atlantic ocean was in 1957. It revealed that the ocean floor was not flat, but covered with features like canyons, ridges, and mountains just like on land. In 1977, Tharp completed a full world's ocean map titled The World Ocean Floor.

Marie Tharp is greatly recognized as a pioneer in a field dominated by men. Although more through maps of the ocean floor exist today, the impact of Tharp and her mapping of the ocean floor is still with us. Her work helped bring to life the unknown ocean world, and helped prove important information about our earth's development.

【2】What mainly made it possible for Tharp to work as a researcher?

A．Men's going to war.

【3】What can be inferred about Tharp's scientific research?

A．It was finished with difficulty.

B．It was done with advanced tools.

C．It was completed by Tharp alone.
