At school, I was in the top set for
maths. My teachers recommended that I study
economics and statistics as my A-level
subjects, but I had my mind set on a
life fulfilled by the arts.
In fact, I was a victim of a gender
stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do
science and maths and women do arts
or
languages. Computer science, technology and
physics just did not figure in my teenage world
view. Nobody popular in my
school chose
to study those subjects.
Reality struck hard when I began
attending job interviews and
interviewers would say: “It’s great that you speak
foreign
languages, but what else do you
do?” Nobody asked my friends who had
studied
science or technology those
questions.
A survey
recently showed that three of the
best-
paid jobs for women are in the
technology sector. It’s a sector that really
can change the world. We must show
girls that technology has an effect on every
industry out there, from fashion to
architecture to journalism.
Anybody can learn to code and these
days it’s as important as reading and
writing. I’ve realized
that at
university I’d achieved the wrong kind of
literacy. Not being able to code limit your impact
on
the world far more than
an ignorance of great literature.
Now I have a five-year-
old d
aughter. I don’t want her to
blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want
her to know the
fact that a science or
technical degree will not limit her creativity but
expand it and broaden her horizons far more than
my
arts background could. I’m
exposing
her to Minecraft and apps,
which help improve analytical thinking and problem
solving
skills. I’m hoping that my
daughter will discover and accept her potentials
in
science and want to change the
world.

To fight for the conservation of forest
ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel
Janzen convinced Del Oro, an
orange
juice producer, to donate part of their forestland
to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed
to throw large
amounts of waste in the
form of orange peels (
皮
) on
a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park
at no cost. Dealing
with tons of
leftover peels usually involved burning them or
paying to have them poured into a landfill, so the
proposal was
very attractive.
But a year later,
another juice company challenged the deal in
court, arguing that their competit
or
was “polluting a
national park”. They
ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro
and
the national park fell through.
Then in 2013, while
discussing possible research avenues with Timothy
Treuer, Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange story.
Feeling interested, Treuer decided to
stop by that piece of land that had been covered
with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What
he found shocked him.
“While I
would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the
nearby fields, I d have to climb through
undergrowt
h and cut
paths
through walls of vines (
藤
)
in the orange peel site itself, said Timothy
Treuer.
Treuer and his
team spent months picking up samples
(
样品
), analyzing and
comparing them. They found great
differences between the areas covered
with orange peels and those that were not. The
area with orange waste had richer soil.
The effect that the
orange peels had on the land is probably not that
surprising to people familiar with composting
(
施肥
),
but what is
really shocking is that a judge actually
tho
ught the waste of orange “mined” a
national park and slopped it from
going
forward. Now tha
t Timothy Treuer’s
study has received worldwide attention, this type
of “ruining” is being seriously
considered as a way of bringing forests
back to life.
did Del Oro usually do
with orange peels?

Drugs have for years been one of the
number one destroyers of people s lives, as well
as their families. People who do
these
drugs might not even realise that what they're
doing has changed the lives of not only
themselves, but of the people
closest
to them in their lives.
People on drugs have usually become
addicted because of the fact that they've used
drugs in the past and have always used
drugs to deal with their problems.
Finally, they have no other way to deal with their
problems and go to other drugs to deal
with the feelings caused by these life
problems.
There are
several ways to do away with drug addiction. The
first step,
as I’m sure you have heard
hundreds of times,is to
realise that
there’s a problem. If there are people in your
li
fe taking drugs, you'll need to let
them know that it's hurting more
than
just themselves.
Once you've gotten them
to realise this, if possible, you'll need to help
them. You'll need a way to work out the problems
that pull them towards drugs, or to
create something else that will keep these people
away from drugs.
Sometimes other drugs are in line. For
example, most heavy drinkers are affected by
depression(
抑郁症
). Over 40% of
Americans are affected by depression,
and over 60% of the male population of these
people have turned towards drinking to
deal with their problems related to
depression. This greatly increases the chances of
abuse(
虐待
), as well as many
other
horrible effects of alcohol.
When someone becomes
addicted to any drug, you'll need to deal with it
immediately. It’s better to deal with the problem
before it turns into one which cannot
be controlled. The best thing you can do for
yourself is to get help from anyone else or
the people within your family before
you turn to any drugs.
can learn from
the passage that those addicted to drugs ________.
mainly heavy drinkers or heavy smokers
more problems than others to deal with
used to using drugs to deal with
problems
't know how to get help from
their families
should you do first to
help someone deal with drug addiction?
him know that drug addiction is harmful.
him get away from depression.
him away from alcohol.
something interesting.
ing to the
passage,some American men would like to drink
probably because _________.

are abused at home
children are naughty
want
to deal with their problems
does the
author mainly advise us to do in the last
paragraph?

others.

members.

feelings.
others break away from drugs

We all know that a hot, milky drink and
a warm bath are supposed to relax you before bed,

your foot, then
loosen them slowly. Breathe again, contract your
leg muscles, then your thigh, belly, chest, arms,
and so on
until you hat all the way up
your body.

My

really began a couple of years ago, with the ice-
