  A woman president? Many American women have bravely but unsuccessfully run for President of the United States: Victoria Woodhull, Shirley Chisholm and Geraldine Ferraro to name a few. But when an American woman named Janet Jagan ran for president of Guyana, she actually won.

  Janet Jagan was a trained nurse from Chicago. In 1943, when she was twenty-three, she went to Guyana to work in the dental(牙科) office of Dr. Cheddi Jagan. Janet Jagan immediately became involved in the Guyanan labor movement, and in 1946 helped to found the Women's Political and Economic Organisation(W.P.E.O.) and the Political Aflairs Committee(P.A.C.), and began editing the P.A.C. newspaper. In 1950 she co-founded the People's Progressive Party along with her husband, Cheddi Jagan. This party was instrumental in achieving Guyana's independence from British rule.

  While her husband gained fame in the P.P.P., Janet Jagan continued as a leader in the struggle for workers' rights. In 1970, she was elected president of the Union of Guyanese Journalists(UGJ), and from 1973 to 1997, edited the Mirror, a national newspaper.

  The People's Progressive Party had refused to cooperate with the government for many years to protest the dishonest control of elections. In 1992, after the first free presidential election, Dr. Cheddi Jagan became president of Guyana.

  In 1997 President Jagan died, and Janet Jagan ran successfully for president. On Dec. 19, 1997. Janet Jagan was sworn in as the first woman president of the Republic of Guyana. Unfortunately, she was only able to serve for 20 months. On August 8, 1999,Janet Jagan resigned from her ground-breaking post for health reasons.

B.She was such a good nurse that she won the Guyanese people's respect.

  In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied.Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories.She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year.

  As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them.I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher.I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories.What if she doesn't win the contest again?That's the strange thing about being a parent.So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.

  A revelation(启示)came last week when l asked her,”Don't you want to win again?”“No,”she replied,“I just want to tell the story of an angel(天使)going to first grade.”

  I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously(自发地)told them.Telling myself that l was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall.I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales.The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly“guided”by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson.I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.

  Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks.Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting(借用)my daughter's experience.

  While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that l will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked.All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.

(1)

What did the author say about her own writing experience?

[  ]

A.

Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.

B.

C.

Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.

D.

She was constantly under pressure of writing more.

(2)

Why did Rebecca want to enter this year's writing contest?

[  ]

A.

She wanted to share her stories with readers.

B.

She was sure of winning with her mother's help.

C.

She believed she possessed real talent for writing.

D.

She had won a prize in the previous contest.

(3)

The author took great pains to refine her daughter's stories because ________.

[  ]

A.

she was afraid Rebecca's imagination might run wild while writing

B.

she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so much

C.

she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance

D.

(4)

What's the author's advice for parents?

B.

Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.

C.

A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.

D.

Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.

  Four people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51, it wasn't much-a picture showing a black X.But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed –the shape of DNA The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins.The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.

  Her name was Rosalind Franklin.” She should have been up there,” says historian Mary Bowden.” If her photos hadn't been there, the others couldn't have come up with the structure.” One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision.But now scholars doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors

  At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Click tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA's parts and then putting them together.In the meantime, at King's College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子).The rays produced patterns reflection the shape.

  But Wilkins and Franklin's relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant.But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.

  What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out.And she was not shy about saying so.That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend.Clearly she had to go or be put in her place.”

  As Franklin's competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am.In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin, Watson wrote his book laughing at her.Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklin was only two steps away from the solution.”

  No, Franklin was the solution.“She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA.She must be considered a co-discoverer,” Abir-Am says.This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself.Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA”, Franklin is finally coming into the light.

(1)

What is the text mainly about?

[  ]

A.

The disagreements among DNA researchers.

B.

The unfair treatment of Franklin.

C.

The process of discovering DNA.

D.

The race between two teams of scientists.

(2)

Why is Franklin described as “Dark Lady of DNA”?

[  ]

A.

She developed pictures in dark labs.

B.

She discovered the black X-the shape of DNA.

C.

Her name was forgotten after her death.

D.

Her contribution was unknown to the public.

(3)

What is the writer's attitude toward Wilkins, Watson and Crick?

[  ]

A.

Disapproving.

B.

Respectful.

C.

Admiring.

D.

Doubtful.
