Stanford University, and a Nobel Prize winner Carolyn Bertozzi from the Us lives such a cool
life!
Bertozzi, 56, wins this year's Nobel Prize in chemistry and becomes this year's only female (女性的) winner in science and the eighth female to receive the chemistry prize in history.
Bertozzi won the prize for studying the sugar coats of cells (细胞). She has found a smart way to connect cells together, This finding helps to develop better tests for serious diseases like cancer.
However, Bertozzi said she only fell in love with chemistry until her second year at Harvard
University. “Most of my classmates thought the class was very difficult. But I liked it a lot because in my eyes the problems were challenging even though it usually took me long hours to solve them. "
Besides doing science studies, Bertozzi has lived a colorful life. She was a keyboarder in a rock band and she also played soccer, winning an athletic scholarship from Harvard.
Moreover, Bertozzi never forgets her job as a female scientist. “In the late 1980s, only 10
percent of the students were females," she told Chemical & Engineering News. “There were
maybe only one or two females in a lab, so we tried to support each other by starting a monthly
get-together. Now, I’m so glad to see more and more females taking part in science. " In 2022,
Bertozzi won an award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her work to increase diversity(多样化) in science.

Passage Four
① The Yellow River is the beginning of China's culture. And floodwater control and
prevention have always been the key to the safety of the people living along it. Now, scientists
can better work out these problems by using a smart 3D model.
②The model known as the “digital twin" of the Yellow River uses tons of technologies,
including big data, artificial intelligence(AD), and the internet of things. Devices(设备) set up
along the river collect and send information to the center. According to the information, a 3D
model of the river is shown on the computer screen. It's like the Yellow River has a twin that
reflects its real conditions.
③ One big breakthrough about the model is “smart stones” in the river's digital
management. According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow
River, a smart stone is a water-proof stone sed device with chips(芯片). They are placed in
some important dike(堤坝) sites to record and report the removement of dike stones. "When
feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stones send an alarm to the center for quick
replies," Wang said.
④In the past, researchers had to learn about the conditions of the dikes by themselves,
putting their lives at risk," said Zhao Xiaoxiong from the information center. "Now the smart
stones can do this for us, more safely, quickly and correctly."
⑤And in the sky, drones(无人机) are flying. ▲ . “Researchers then improve the 3D model according to it. The newly improved model helps us test our floodwater plans in case
we ever need to get ready for the bad weather," said Shen Lin from the information center.
⑥Under the water and up in the sky, the “digital twin" is helping to protect the Yellow River from all sides. In the future, we can expect to see even better digital systems for this important river.
13、What can we know about the “smart stones" in the passage
A. They are water-proof heart-shaped devices with chips.
B. They are able to remind the center of the weather changes.
C. They are used to record and report the shape of dike stones.
D. They are helpful for the Yellow River 's digital management.
14、Which sentence can be put in the ▲ .
A. The reason why the researchers use drones is still unknown.
B. The drones make a great difference to the floodwater prevention projects.
C. Thanks to the drones, researchers at the center can get first-hand information.
D. In fact, drones have been widely used along the river since they were invented.
15、What's the purpose of writing the passage
A. To show us the important role of the Yellow River in China.
B. To suggest researchers put in more effort to create better digital systems.
C. To tell us that there are better digital systems along the Yellow River now.
D. To introduce a smart 3D model which helps to protect the Yellow River.

Besides Miss Xie, I received help from the government, too. One of the local officials(当地工

Passage Three
挑战篇
There is a high school in Chicago with an unusual grading system. If students don't pass a
test, they get a different kind of grade “Not Yet” instead of “Failed”. In her speech-The
Power of Believing You Can Improve, Carol Dweck, a psychologist, mentions “Not Yet” She further 1 . the power of “Not Yet”: If you get a failing grade, you think you are nothing; but if you get the grade “Not Yet”, you realize you’re 2 . the way to a better future.
In her study, Dweck wanted to see how children dealt with challenges(挑战)and difficulties. She gave 10-year-old children questions that were a bit too hard for them. Some of them loved the challenges and believed that they could get their abilities improved. Instead of running away from mistakes, they learned 3 them. These children had “growth mindset”. But other children failed to deal with the challenges, because they felt their intelligence(智力) had already been used up 4 they could complete the tasks.
These children had a “fixed mindset”. They believed they could do nothing in the face of
challenges. In the follow-up studies, Dweck found that the children with a “fixed mindset” were more likely to cheat. They looked for someone who did 5 than they did so they could feel better about themselves.
There is always a better self of us waiting to be brought out. However, the problem is that
few of us believe we can make 6 . We believe we are not smart, or we don’t have enough time. We believe we can't face difficulties or lean from mistakes. It's a result of a “fixed mindset”. But the wonderful reality is that we can move from a “fixed mindset” to a “growth mindset” once we know how.
First, believe you can make changes 7 . Not tomorrow, not next week, not next month, or not next year.
Next, for every negative(消极的)thought. write down a positive(积极的) answer. So when your self-talk says,“I tried running before and gave up after a week." You can reply,“That's because I didn't have a weekly 8 . Now I have one and I’m going to run according to it.’
Developing a “growth mindset” takes time and effort, but over time, with enough practice,
you’ll see your progress.
