When I was 12, my father took me to The
Children’s Museum in Mexico City to see a movie.
It was unlike
any movie I had seen
before. There were bad guys or animals without
fur-just colorful balls circling around a ball
of fire against an empty black
background. I still remember the excitement I felt
then.
My interest in
science began at 16 when it was viewed as a waste
of time. When I told my parents and teachers
in high school that I wanted to study
math and physics at university, my dreams were met
with disapproval. I was
told those
careers were too hard for women and I should study
something more appropriate like communications or
marketing.
At
last I gave in to the pressure around me. In my
first two years at the Iberoamericana University,
I studied
philosophy.
But
my
love
for
math
and
physics
didn’t
fade.
Behind
my
parents’
back,
I
applied
to
American
universities
because a friend
told me that, “In the
US, you can study more than one subject at a
time,” and one of

the subjects I would study there would
be physics.
I
was accepted to Brandeis with a full scholarship.
But I continued with my philosophy major.
One day I saw a notice advertising a
course in astronomy. And then I remembered the
movie. This was a chance to understand
those colorful balls and explore the dark space
myself! I enrolled in the course and my
life changed forever. Two years later, I graduated
with a double major in physics and
philosophy. Afterwards, I be-came the first
Mexican
woman to get a PhD in physics.

study philosophy in the university?

In Antarctica, the
long dark winter gives way to summer. Ice begins
to melt, and the sun stays in the sky all
night long. Into this brightly lit
world, the large gray head of a seal appears
through a crack in the ice. The seal

bits of ice. Seals are mammals, and they need to
breathe air. So seals use their teeth to make sure
their breathing holes stay open. The
seal makes the hole bigger. When she can fit her
large body through it, she
climbs out
onto the ice. She is getting ready to have a baby.
On the ice shelf, the seal
gives birth to a pup(
幼小的动物）
.
The pup is about three feet long-the size of a
two-year-old child. It is
c
owered with thick fur that protects it
from the cold wind. The pup drinks its mother’s
milk
and grows quickly. Beneath the
seal’s skin is a thick layer of fat called
blubber. Blubber keeps the seal warm in the
frozen world.
When the pup is about two weeks old, it
begins to dive with its mother. They
slide through the breathing hole into
the water below the ice. There the pup learns
to swim, diving deeper and
deeper each day. In order to stay underwater, it
must
learn to hold its
breath and control its heart rate.
The young seal spends more and more
time below the ice, where it learns to hunt for
food. The mother shows
her pup how to
catch fish, squid and octopuses. These are
important lessons. When the pup is about two
months old,
it will have to feed
itself.
As it grows, the
young seal remains on and under the fast ice. Fast
ice is attached the Antarctic coastline. Here
the pup stays safe from predators, such
as orcas. When the pup becomes an adult, it will
swim farther out in search
of food. But
it will always live on or under the ice.
29. What do you learn about the summer
in Antarctica?
A. It is not dark at all
at night.
C. It is often rainy and
windy.
A. Milk.
B. There in no ice on the sea.
D. Days are longer than nights.
C. Skins.
C. sea ice

many of the decisions we make, as we
expend lots of time and effort constantly
