Passage four(preface)
Science is a dominant theme in our culture. Since it touches almost every facet of our life, educated people need at least some acquaintance with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about the things that excite and frustrate the scientist.
This book is written for the intelligent student or lay person whose acquaintance with science is superficial; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty storehouse of dried facts; for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of gadgets; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician. The book can be used to supplement a course in any science, to accompany any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world, or – independently of any course – simply to provide a better understanding of science. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader perspective on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give them an awareness and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. In addition, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies that are pervasive in our culture.
We have tried to present in this book an accurate and up-to-date picture of the scientific community and the people who populate it. That population has in recent years come to comprise more and more women. This increasing role of women in the scientific subculture is not an unique incident but, rather, part of the trend evident in all segments of society as more women enter traditionally male-dominated fields and make significant contributions. In discussing these changes and contribution, however, we are faced with a language that is implicitly sexist, one that uses male nouns or pronouns in referring to unspecified individuals. To offset this built-in bias, we have adopted the policy of using plural nouns and pronouns whenever possible and, when absolutely necessary, alternating he and she. This policy is far form being ideal, but it is at least an acknowledgment of the inadequacy of our language in treating half of the human race equally.
We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our approach is usually informal. We feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a grim and dreary way to earn a living.
1.According to the passage, ‘scientific subculture’ means
A.cultural groups that are formed by scientists.
B.people whose knowledge of science is very limited.

3.The book mentioned in this passage is written for readers who
A.are intelligent college students and lay person who do not know much about science.
B.are good at producing various gadgets.
C.work in a storehouse of dried facts.
D.want to have a superficial understanding of science.
4.According to this passage,
A.English is a sexist language.
B.only in the scientific world is the role of women increasing rapidly.
C.women are making significant contributions to eliminating the inadequacy of our language.
D.male nouns or pronouns should not be used to refer to scientists.

The outbreak of SARS in 2003 rang alarm bells as potential pandemics．Although it jumped the”animal-to·human”barrier，neither disease changed enough to enable human-to．Human infection．Strictly speaking，SARS did not become pandemics because it was too good at killing their hosts．For a pandemic，it needs to be able to maintain human-to．human contact without killing its host off．

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Have you ever found yourself wondering what you’re going to do with your life? Should you pursue another career path or stick to it? This is often described as being at the crossroads. There’s nothing really wrong in being at the crossroads. However, it becomes harmful when you stay there for a very long time without doing anything productive.
What should you do then in order not to remain at the crossroads forever? Here are some tips.
List down the pros and cons. Don’t just think about them. Write them down and list as many things as you can in every column. The purpose is to ensure you can really reflect on them.
Get some advice. When you’re confused, it’s good to ask some people. You can refer your dilemma to your family or even a therapist. Also you can tell your problem to mature people who you think have gone through what you’re experiencing right now. Their wisdom and their success stories can provide you with a lot of inspiration and clearness on what path to choose.
Visualize (想象). Visualization is an excellent technique when you need to have a more vivid image on what you want to become. You can also do it on your own. There are two ways on how to do it.
First is the mirror technique. You stand in front of the mirror and look at yourself. Then start to imagine what you’d look like in five years from now. The other technique is through meditation and relaxation. You lie down flatly on a couch or any smooth surface. Make sure you’re comfortable. Then close your eyes and perform visualization.
Once you have a clearer picture on your choices, you can then feed your mind with subliminal (潜意识的) messages. You can repeat the following: “This is what I want myself to be.” Repeat the sentence as often as you can until you can feel yourself believing in the words.
