    In the field of engineering,men hold most of the jobs.But DiscoverE wanted to change that.On February 25, DiscoverE,known as the National Engineers Week Foundation,celebrated its annual Girl Day.

    Although women fill close to half of all jobs in the US economy,they hold less than 25% in the fields of science, technology,engineering,and math (STEM),according to the US Department of Commerce.The agency also reported women hold a low share of college degrees in these fields,particularly in engineering.

    With such a large gender gap in STEM jobs,DiscoverE wanted to demonstrate to girls the different fields available to them.It also intended to disclose the various myths that may be causing girls to shy away from this line of work.Valecia Maclin,a director of Raytheon,a technology company and one of DiscoverE's corporate partners, addressed the three most common myths about engineers.

    Myth # 1: Engineers aren't creative.

    According to Maclin,the opposite is true."Engineers need to be very creative in order to solve problems," she says.And girls,Maclin adds,are great at problem solving.

    Myth # 2: You'll be the only girl in your engineering class.

    Maclin admits there're usually very few girls in engineering classes.Such was the case in her own experience, but rarely will there be only one girl in the class.She believes this can work in favor of girls.

    Myth # 3 :You'll get paid less than the male engineers.

    According to the US Department of Labor,women working full time only make about 79% of what men earn. However,STEM careers are in such high demand that even starting salaries are high. "In engineering,your performance is the driving force behind what you get paid,regardless of your gender," Maclin says.

    1.Why did DiscoverE celebrate its annual Girl Day?

    A. It wanted to change that.

    B. It encouraged girls to take up engineering occupations.

    C. It inspired girls to quit more STEM jobs.

    D. It suggested that women working full time only made about 79 % of what men earned.

    2.What possible myths did Maclin put forward that might cause girls to shy away from engineering?

    a.Engineers aren't creative.

    b.Women hold less than 25 % of jobs in the fields of STEM.

    c.You'll be the only girl in your engineering class.

    d.Your performance leads to your salary.

    e.You'll get paid less than the male engineers.

    A. abc B. acd

    C. bcd D. ace

    3.What can be learned about gender gap in STEM jobs?

    A. Both men and women hold jobs in the fields of STEM.

    B. More than three quarters of men hold STEM jobs.

    C. Less than 25 % of women hold college degrees in engineering.

    D. The agency also reported women hold a low share of college degrees.

    4.What does Valecia Maclin mean with regard to engineering?

    A. Men should hold most of the jobs.

    B. Women working full time should make about 79 % of what men earn.

    C. Engineering is more suitable for girls than boys.

    D. Engineering is suitable for not only boys but also girls.

    Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years.It was always evil and usually foolish,but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this.Either man will stop war,or war will stop man.For the present,it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger,but bacteriological（细菌的）or chemical weapons may,before long,offer an even greater threat.If we succeeded in stopping war,there would be no danger for us.To do this,we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way,not by contests of force,in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre（大屠杀）,but by arbitration（仲裁）in accordance with agreed principles of law.It is not easy to change old mental habits,but this is what must be attempted.

    There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology（意识形态）would prevent war.I believe this to be a complete error.All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are,at best,doubtful,and at worst, totally false.Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them.

    The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed very largely such as we can welcome.It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided.Of course,very difficult problems remain in the international world,but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago.It has begun to be thought,even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die,that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory.It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West,but between Man and the bomb.

    1.The underlined word "this" in Paragraph l probably refers to " ".

    A. abolishing war B. improving weapons

    C. solving international problems D. living a peaceful life

    2.From Paragraph 2,we learn that the author .

    A. is a supporter of some modern thoughts

    B. has no doubt about the truth of any thought

    C. does not think the adopinon of any thought could stop war

    D. believes the adoption of some thoughts could prevent war

    3.The last paragraph suggests that .

    A. nuclear war will certainly not take place

    B. real agreements have been now reached

    C. world opinion is still divided on nuclear war

    D. man is beginning to realize that nuclear war is his greatest enemy

    4.Which of the following words can best describe the author's feeling in writing this passage?

    A. Disappointed. B. Doubtful.

    C. Worried. D. Hopeful.
