JamesGross, a psychology professor at Stanford University, has a 13-year-olddaughter who loves math and science. “It hasn’t occurred to her yet that’sunusual,” he says. “But I know in the next couple of years, it will.”
She’salready being pulled out of class to do advanced things with a couple of otherkids, who are guys. And as someone who studies human emotion for a procession,Gross says, “I know as time goes on, she will feel increasingly lonely as agirl who’s interested in math and science, and be at risk of narrowing herchoices in life before finding out how far she could have gone.’’
Gross’concern clearly shows what has been a touchy subject in the world of sciencefor a long time: Why are there still so few women in science, and how mightthat affect what we learn from research?
Women nowmake up half the national workforce, earn more college and graduate degreesthan men, and by some estimates represent the largest single economic force inthe world. Yet the gender gap in science persists, to a greater degree than inother professions, particularly in high-end, math-intensive fields such ascomputer science and engineering.
Accordingto US Census Bureau statistics, women in fields commonly referred to as STEM(science, technology, engineering, mathematics) made up 7 percent of thatworkforce in 1970, a figure that had jumped to 23 percent by 1990. But the riseessentially stopped there. Two decades later, in 2011, women made up 26 percentof the science workforce.
5. According to JamesGross, in the near future his daughter may .
A. become a great scientist
B. feel lonely and havefewer choices
C. be pulled out of classwith some guys
D. learn math and sciencebetter and better
6. We can learn from thetext that .
A. women are cleverer thanmen in college
B. men represent thelargest single economic force
C. women make up more than50% of the national workforce
D. the number of womengraduating from college is larger than that of men
7. How does the authordevelop the last paragraph?
A. By providing examples.
B. By making comments.
C. By following time order.
D. By explaining theprocess.
8. Which of the followingis the best title for the text?

D. Future of women in theWorkforce

It wasclose to midnight and it was unusual to see vehicles on the road. However,several trucks pulled over and workers silently unloaded camera equipment andcardboard boxes, and then carried them inside the Morgenson family home.
What tookplace over the next eight weeks was inspired by a Hollywood movie called TheJoneses about a family of marketers who move into a local neighborhood to selltheir products secretly to their neighbors. The idea was to test the power ofword-of-mouth marketing. By filming a ‘rear’ family in unscripted (无剧本的) situations, my team and I would document how the Morgensons’circle of friends responded to brands and products the Morgensons bought intotheir lives.
With thehelp of 35 video cameras and 25 microphones hidden in side the furniture, theoperation done secretly showed something shocking. The most powerful hiddenpersuader of all isn’t in your TV or on the shelves of your supermarket. It’s afar more important influence that’s around you almost every waking moment: yourvery own friends and neighbors. There is nothing quite so persuasive asobserving someone we respect or admire using a brand or product.
Ouranalysis also found that the brands the Morgensons used went faster. About onethird of the Morgensons’ friends began promoting these same brands to theirfriends. We also found that the brands their friends were most likely to buy atthe Morgensons’ suggestion were the bigger and better-known ones. This provedmy thoughts that traditional marketing and secret marketing work well together.The most persuasive advertising strategies are strengthened by word-of-mouthadvertising.
WheneverI meet with company managers, I tell them that the people who hold the realmarketing power are mouse-clicking consumers and their wide circles ofreal-life friends. In other words, the people who hold the real power are us.
9. The author and his teamwent to the Morgenson family home to .
A. visit theMorgensons B. sell products to them
C. shoot a Hollywoodmovie D. carry out marketing research
10. According to the text,people are more likely to buy a product when .
A. noticing anadvertisement for it on TV
B. the product appearsrepeatedly in a movie
C. seeing their friendsusing the same product.
D. someone is promoting itin the supermarket.
11. In which part of anewspaper can you most probably read the text?
A. Travel. B. Business.
C. Lifestyle. D. Entertainment.
D
Residentsin the poorest counties in the U.S. face a life expectancy up to decade shorterthan their counterparts in the wealthiest areas, according to a study publishedin the American Journal of Public Health.
Researchersfrom East Tennessee State University wanted to better understand howsocioeconomic status was associated with heath outcomes. To find out theydivided the country’s 3,141 counties into 50 new ‘states’ (with 2 percent ofthe counties in each) based on household income as opposed to geographicproximity (接近).
Theresearchers broke down the data by county since they found state-level data mayhide some ‘impact of socioeconomic differences on both the best-off andworst-off counties.’ They then examined health data from the wealthiest andpoorest ‘states’ (top and bottom 2 percent) to see how residents differed onfactors like smoking, clinical care and excessive drinking. Researchers foundthat there was nearly a 10-year gap in the life expectancy of men with anaverage of 79.3 years in the wealthy counties compared to 69.8 years in thepoorest. For women, the difference was slightly less - 83 years in the wealthiestcounties and 76 years in the poorest.
The studyauthors caution that while they found a connection between socioeconomic statusand health outcomes, they did not analyze cause and effect. But they suggestthat the data shows how policy makers should not just focus on state-wideinitiatives (主动性) but more targeted efforts to help those mostat risk. “With limited resources, methods of pinpointing the poorest countiescan assist in the allocation of resources and programs to those communitiesthat are in the greatest need,’’ the study authors wrote.
12. How did Researchersdivide the counties?
A. By social status. B. By income.
C. By health. D. By living places.
13. Which of the followingis TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A. The women difference isless than the man in life expectancy.
B. The wealthiest ‘state’like hiding their wealth.
C. Most health data isunbelievable.
D. Most poorest ‘state’smoke and drink a lot.
14. What can we infer fromthe last paragraph?
A. The researchers thinktheir study is perfect.
B. People still don’t know thecause of life expectancy.
C. The government shouldlearn something from the study.
D. The American resourcesallocation is not fair at all.
15. What would be the besttitle for the passage?
A. Ways to have a long lifeexpectancy
B. Great income differencesin the USA
C. The health problem inthe USA
D. Men in richest 10 yearslonger in poorest
