In 1962. astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit(沿轨道运行) the earth. In1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Thanks to African-american women mathematicians(数学家) like Katherine Johnson, these historic events became possible. Johnson worked for the US air and space programmes for 33 years. But not many people knew about Johnson before the movie Hidden Figures came out. The movie tells the story of Johnson and other great black women mathematicians.
To truly understand Johnson’s achievements, it important to understand the world she lived in. She graduated from West Virginia State College in 1937. At the time, only about 10 percent of women got college degrees. Johnson went into teaching, one of the few jobs that were open to women.
In 1953, she got a job at the Langley Research Centre, in Virginia. That was an aircraft(飞船)research centre in the US. Back then, computers weren’t widely used yet. Instead. the Maths needed to design, test and fly planes was done by “human computers” like Johnson. These women used pencils, simple adding machines. and their Maths talents to make those difficult calculations(计算). Also, when Johnson started working at Langley, she and her black co-workers were kept separate from the white women who did the same job. Even so, her talents made her stand out. Johnson was soon chosen to join a group of white men and women. They later helped send the first Americans into space. Johnson says her biggest achievement is getting the astronauts home from the moon safely.
Johnson, now 100 years old, is proud of what she has done for the space programmes. “I happily went to work every day for 33 years,” she says.

Many people spend their vacations doing nothing on a beach. but Kirsty Ross wanted to do something different. “I spent three weeks working in the hot sun digging to find pieces of old cups and plates,” she says.
“I worked really hard all day and I slept in a tent at night. My friends thought I was crazy, but I had an amazing time. It was my best vacation ever!”
Kirsty was working for a volunteer programme in Tunisia in North Africa. Groups of twenty-five young volunteers worked together on archaeological sites(考古遗址) to find important information about the past. The volunteers had to be very careful, because it was important not to damage (损坏)the things they found. Many of them worked at Tunisia’s biggest archaeological site in Carthage, and some of them worked in other important sites in the country. Kirsty explains why she chose this vacation. “I’ve always been interested in history, and Tunisia has a lot of very important archaeological sites. There were people living in Carthage as early as 3,000 years ago. I love being in places that are so old. It is exciting to find pots and other things that people used every day.”
It was harder for Kirsty than for some of the others. “I come from Alaska, which is a cold place,” she says. “It was hard for me to work under the hot North African sun. But it was a wonderful chance to meet people from other countries and to learn about the past. It changed my life. Now I’m hoping to study archaeology in college.”

Everyone dreams of having a good iob, and so do I. I want to be a teacher in the future. I think teaching is a great job. Teachers not only teach knowledge but also teach how to be a good person.
If I become a teacher, I’ll try my best to make my lessons interesting so that my students won’t get bored with studies. Second, I’ll be patient with my students. If my students have some problems in class, I will explain everything again and again till they can understand it. Third, I’ll care about my students. I will have a talk with them often and try to understand their situations so I can deal with any problem they might have.
I believe I can be a good teacher.
