Ask a classroom of children to draw a scientist, and you’ll see plenty of color1 ed lab coats and glasses. The image (画像) hasn't changed much since the 1960s, but the person wearing the lab coat is changing.
A new analysis finds that more female scientists have appeared in kids? drawings in recent decades — going from nearly nonexistent in the 1960s to about a third in 2016.
The first of many “ draw-a-scientist ’’ studies asked nearly 5,000 children to draw a scientist between 1966 and 1977. Of those 5,000 drawings, only 28 drew female scientists. That was just 0.56 percent. Today, female scientists are being presented more in the media. For example, in a content analysis, 13 percent of people pictured in science feature stories of the 1960s were women or girls, compared with 44 percent in the 2000s. “That might really affect children’s idea on what a scientist should be like, ” says Miller, a Ph. D. candidate in psychology.
To look for changes in children'sperceptionover time, the researchers conducted a meta-analysis ,combining data from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade.On average, 28 percent of children drew female scientists in studies conducted from 1965 to 2016.
What hasn’t changed much: kids pick up stereotypes (模式化观念）by gender (性别）as they grow up. At age 6, about 70 percent of the girls in the more recent studiesdrew female scientists. By age 16, 75 percent drew male scientists. This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes. It’s important that teachers and parents present diverse examples of both male and female scientists.
4. What’s the picture of scientists drawn by a 1960s, kid like?
A. A man with long curly hair.
B. A woman with lab glasses.
C. A woman in a formal lab suit.
D. A man in a color1 ed lab coat.
5. What may contribute to the changes in kids’ drawings?
A. The improvement of women^ social status.
B. The kids are affected by teachers and parents.
C. More female scientists appear in the media.
D. The increasing number of female scientists.
6. What does the underlined word “ perception” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Belief.
B. Idea.
C. Habit.
D. Growth.
7. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .
A. it's a stereotype that scientists are generally males
B. girls are more influenced by stereotypes than boys
C. some children are born with certain stereotypes
D. most children tend to prefer female scientists

A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win．Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who hita traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum about beinglate on the job．Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer．His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech．

The room exploded in laughter．The supervisor“clamped off”a smile and walked back to his office．Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win，a laugh．
Humor is a most effective，yet frequently neglected，means of handling the difficult situations in our lives．It can be used for patching up differences，apologizing，saying “no”，criticizing，getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losingface．For some jobs，it’s the only tool that can succeed．It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel．For example，many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerancethan people in any other forum．

Getting drunk on ice cream used to be the stuff of dreams, but thanks to Will Rogers, inventor and owner of WDS Dessert Stations in Hinkley, Illinois, it has become a delicious reality. The Below Zero icecream machine uses a unique technique to freeze alcohol, which allows you to turn beers, cocktails and even spirits (烈酒) into delicious soft —serve ice cream.
Rogers was trying to create a highly — caffeinated espresso ice cream flavor when he realized hecould use the same technique with alcoholic beverages. He started experimenting with various gums and stabilizers commonly used in the ice cream industry and eventually patented something called the NEA gel. It’s this magical concoction (调制品) that allows the alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the Below Zero ice cream machine.
Even though Below Zero changes the texture (质地) of beer, cocktails and even spirits, essentially turning them into soft —serve ice cream, it does not affect the alcohol contentat all. The ABV (酒精度) remains exactly the same, which means you can get drunk on ice — cream just as you would on the same concoctions in liquid form.
Will Rogers claims that it takes around 30 minutes for beer to go from liquid to ice cream form, but higher
alcohol content drinks take longer. Essentially, the higher the alcohol level, the longer the wait.
The American inventor plans to sell Below Zero ice cream machines to bars and breweries wanting to surprise their patrons. Metro reports that machines will sell for about 6,000.
12. What’s the name of the machine which can change beer and spirits into ice cream?
A. Will Rogers
B. WDS Dessert Stations
C. Hinkley
D. Below Zero
13. What makes alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the machine?
A. gums.
B. stabilizers.
C. NEA gel.
D. ABV.
14. What can we know from the passage?
A. The machine can change all liquids into ice cream.
B. It takes 20 minutes for beer to change into ice cream.
C. The higher the alcohol level, the shorter the wait will be.
D. The machine changes the texture of beer, cocktails and even spirits.
15. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The machine affects the alcohol content.
B. You can get drunk if you have ice—creams made from spirits.
C. The American inventor doesn’t want to sell themagical machine.
D. Bars and breweries will not become potential buyers of the machine.
