Passage Two
I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in
my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field
dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I
never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the
shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be
the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a
post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every
achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender (性
别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left
brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight
fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would
eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don’t talk about that anymore.
It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t
want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden
on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City.
Recently, someone asked me how may of the 45 students in my class were women. You
cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students
worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I
don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given
them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics
experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of
science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
62. Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A) She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
B) She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.
C) She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
D) She finds space research more important.
63. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author’s failures to
________.
A) the very fact that she is a woman
B) her involvement in gender politics
C) her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
D) the burden she bears in a male-dominated society
64. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and
post-doctoral research?
