Every scientist has to start somewhere Many first determined they loved science in the classroom. Others are found out they experimented at home—building and designing new things. Here are some that spend their lives spreading their love of science.

Maria Christoforaki

Christoforaki is a high school student at the Lyceum of Gazi in Greece. In June 2016, she was part of a team from her school that competed in the European Cansat Competition. This is a contest in which teams build models of satellites. The satellite has to be the size and shape of a soft drink can. Much creativity is required — and Christoforaki says that is the best part.

Kelly Knight

Knight is a forensic (法學的) scientist — someone who uses scientific techniques to help solve crimes. She’s a professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. But that’s not all she does. “I’m also a Zumba (尊巴舞) instructor and I have my motorcycle license,” she says. She’s still working on getting a motorcycle, though.

Sara MacSorley

MacSorley has a degree in science, who doesn’t work in a laboratory but is now the director of the Green Street Teaching and Learning Center at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Coon. She spends her time promoting education. MacSorley still loves science. She’s now working on a coloring book about women in science, technology, engineering and math.

Erin Winick

Winick was a student in mechanical engineering at the University of Florida in Gainesville. As an engineer, she also runs her own company, Sci Chic, making science and engineering -in- spired jewelry. Her science creativity also goes beyond jewelry. “I love sewing and have made everything from a Ms. Frizzle costume to a galaxy-patterned dress,” she says. “I love making and wearing any all space and science - inspired clothing.”

In a strange example of “art inspires life”，the self?drying jacket that Marty McFly wore in the movie，Back to the Future Ⅱ，has actually become a reality. A model has already been created and a Kickstarter campaign plans to raise funds for mass production.

The jackets，named SDJ?01，are classified as wearable tech，because of the inner air circulation(環(huán)流；循環(huán)) system that speeds the drying process from the inside out. Under normal circumstances，you can expect the jacket to dry in about 1－2 minutes after being exposed to rain or a spilled drink. If you jump into a pond to escape danger，it will probably take longer.

“Think of how quickly your clothes dry when you turn a standard fan on them. Now imagine how quickly breathable(透氣的)，water resistant(抗……的) material dries when exposed to concentrated，high?pressure air. In lab tests，our jacket consistently experienced noticeable drying effects after just 30 seconds，with the average time of about a minute to achieve a 90% drying effect，” explained Aaron Coleman，lead designer at Falyon Wearable Tech，which is producing the jacket.

“This is something that has been on my mind for years，” he said. He didn’t want it to be just a movie prop，but an actual usable jacket. “We wanted to follow the basic design of the jacket from the movie Back to the Future Ⅱ but update it a bit，adding more pockets for all the things people carry around these days.”

Eventually，Coleman and his team hit upon the perfect combination of water resistant material and high?pressure air circulation to achieve complete drying in just one minute. The outer layer is made of water resistant nylon，with insulation(絕緣材料) made of polyester fibre on the inside. It dries itself through a couple of so?called “air amplifiers(放大器)” attached to the sides，which force more air through the jacket.

According to the makers，the SDJ?01 is ideal for rainy days and spills，and the fans are perfect to cool off on days “when you’re just a little too warm，but it’s too cold to take off your jacket”．

1.How long does the SDJ?01 take to achieve a 90% drying effect，on average?

A. About 30 seconds.

B. About a minute.

C. About 1－2 minutes.

D. Longer than 2 minutes.

2.According to Aaron Coleman，in what way is the design different，compared with the jacket in Back to the Future Ⅱ？

A. The number of pockets.

B. The function of pockets.

C. The colour of pockets.

D. The shape of pockets.

3.What is the main achievement by Coleman and his team in developing the SDJ?01?

A. The noticeable drying effects of high pressure air on wet clothes.

B. The inner air circulation system can speed the drying process from the outside.

C. The perfect combination of water resistant material and high?pressure air circulation.

D. The various functions of water resistant materials during rainy days and spills.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The ideal design of a self?drying jacket.

B. Marketing strategies for a self?drying jacket.

C. The development of a self?drying jacket.

D. A basic introduction to a self?drying jacket.

Everyone, please imagine, a big explosion breaks out as the plane takes us high in the sky. The plane is full of smoke and the engine sounds scary. Two minutes later, the engines are turned off. We are now sitting in a plane with no sound. And we can see: Life is over.

That really happened. In January 2009, I had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York.

Now let me tell you the three things I learned when the silence came.

First, I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to but didn’t. I thought about all the experiences I wanted to have but never did. I no longer wanted to put off anything in life. Second, I really regretted the time I wasted on things that did not matter. I decided to remove negative energy from my life. Third, I realized, wow, dying was not scary. But it was very sad just because I only wished I could have seen my kids grow up.

Fortunately, I was given the gift of a miracle of not dying that day. I was given another gift, with which I was to see into the future and come back and live differently.

About a month later, my wife and I were at a performance by my daughter, not much artistic talent. Yet, I’m crying. I realized that above all, the only goal in my life was to be a good father.

Audience, again, imagine the same thing happening on your plane. How would you change? What would you get done? And more than anything, are you being the best parent you can?

Thank you.

1.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Air crash is always a tragedy.

B. What I learned from the air crash.

C. Life is a miracle as we imagine.

D. How to become a good father.

2.When does the idea “Life is over” come into being?

A. Exactly during the explosion.

B. When the plane was full of smoke.

C. Before the engines sounded scary.

D. When the engines were turned off.

3.What is the author’s final goal in life?

A. Never to put off anything in life.

B. To remove negative energy from life.

C. To see his daughter grow up.

D. To be a good father.

4.What type of writing is this text?

A. A speech on one’s air travel experience.

B. An emergency crash-landing guide.

C. An introduction of an adventure novel.

D. A safety training for air passengers.
