27、The Nobel Prizes in science have been dominated (占主要地位) by men in previous years. But this year, women stole the spotlight!
Jennifer Doudna from the US and Emmanuelle Charpentier from France shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It’s the first time in history for two women to win the prize without having to share it with a man. At the same time, US astronomer (天文学家) Andrea Ghez became the fourth woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics, which she shared with two other scientists. Its first female winner was Marie Curie (居里夫人) in 1903.
Doudna and Charpentier were awarded for developing CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors (基因剪刀), a technology that can rewrite DNA in the cells of plants, animals and micro-organisms (微生物). It has had a “revolutionary impact (革命性的影响) on the life sciences,” according to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. For example, it can help us develop crops that can withstand droughts (抗旱). It could also help treat inherited diseases (遗传病) in the future.
On hearing that they were the sixth and seventh women to win the Chemistry Prize, Charpentier said that she hopes girls and young female scientists will “understand that nothing is impossible.” They can “find great discoveries. It’s independent of the gender. ”
Ghez, who was awarded for her research on black holes, had the same feeling. “I’m delighted to be part of the change where more women visibly (明显地) succeed. I think that’s an important way in which we encourage the next generation,” Ghez said. In addition to her research, she was also one of the authors of the 2006 children’s book You Can Be a Woman Astronomer.

28、 During the Han Dynasty, King Wen ordered that the 15th day of the first lunar month to be devoted to the Lantern Festival. It was also a happy festival in ancient China, providing a good chance for unmarried men and women to meet. In ancient times, young women, especially daughters of big families, hardly stepped out of their houses. But during the Lantern Festival, all people, including those young women, could come out for lantern shows.
Watching lanterns at night was just a chance for a young woman to find a man whose appearance attracted her. If possible, they would get married. Another activity, guessing the answers to lantern riddles (灯谜), gave young people a chance to interact with each other and know more about each other. Besides those, there were also other traditions in ancient China for the festival.
It was a tradition that people hung lanterns everywhere. The lanterns showed different characters, like flying birds and jumping fishes. People came out and appreciated the beautiful scene.
Riddles written on the lanterns were so interesting and they could add to the joy of the festival, so many people liked them very much. Guessing the answers to lantern riddles gradually became an important part of the Lantern Festival.
Chinese people regarded the dragon as a symbol of good luck. At the festival, people performed the dragon lantern dance and looked forward to this year’s good weather and peace.

29、 What will the schools of the future look like? With the introduction of 5G technology, we’re starting to find out.
The answer is smart campuses, with high-tech features to help students learn more effectively and safely. They also bring convenience to teachers and administrators (管理者).
The University of British Columbia has what is believed to be Canada’s first 5G-powered smart campus, according to The Star newspaper. The school has partnered with tech company Rogers Communications to install (安装) a massive 5G network on its campus. Researchers at the school can use the network to test real-time 5G applications, as well as access a data storage facility (设施) similar to “cloud” storage, the newspaper noted.
US tech company Amazon is also looking to get into the smart campus arena (舞台). Alexa, the company’s voice-activated (声控) smart assistant, is being aimed at teachers. They may help to run classes more efficiently, says Amazon. For example, if a teacher has to teach different classes in different rooms, Alexa can remember the teacher’s preferences, such as whether or not they need to use a projector (投影仪).
Smart technology can also be used to keep students and teachers safe. At the Global Indian International School in Singapore, CNET reports that facial recognition scanners (扫描器) allow teachers to automatically lock or unlock classroom doors, while students can store their textbooks in smart lockers linked to their student ID cards.
People often describe college campuses as “mini-cities”. After all, they have their own on-campus infrastructure (基础设施), including transport links, roads, shops, restaurants – even police. And just like the smart cities being designed around the world, many college campuses are adopting smart technology. The University of Michigan in the US, for example, has its own self-driving shuttle (班车) system, allowing students to go from classroom to classroom in a safe and efficient manner.
Unlike cities, universities are seen as a particularly good testing ground for smart technology because many of them have sole (单一的) control over their property (财产). “Cities are so big, and there are so many players and stakeholders (利益相关者), it can be difficult. But many universities around the world have control over their estates (房产). They own all their buildings ... so they can become like a living lab,” said Gemmy Ginty, a designer working on a smart campus development strategy for the University of Glasgow, UK, in a news report by the Guardian.
【1】How is the text mainly developed?
A.By giving examples. B.By making comparisons.
C.By following the order of time. D.By explaining causes and effects.
【2】What can we learn about Alexa from the text?
A.It offers free “cloud” storage to its users.
B.It is used to test real-time 5G applications.
C.It can help improve classroom efficiency.
D.It can help monitor students’ class performances.
【3】Why are universities seen as a good testing grounds for smart technology, according to the text?
A.Smart technology benefits students the most.
B.Universities are full of laboratories and researchers.
C.Sole control over their properties makes it easier to test new tech.
D.There are many players and stakeholders on university campuses.
