Dr. Nancy Roman, born in 1925, who was celebrated as a pioneer for female scientists and

had advanced the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, died on Dec 25, 2018.

When Nancy Roman asked for permission to take a second algebra ( 代数 ) course in high

school, a teacher demanded to know “what lady would take mathematics instead of Latin”. In

college, a professor admitted that he often tried to prevent women from majoring in physics but

Nancy stuck to it. And after receiving Doctor’s degree in astronomy, she found a professional

home at NASA (美国宇航局). In 1959, Dr. Roman became the first chief of astronomy at NASA

headquarters, a role that made her one of the agency’s first female leaders.

Dr. Roman spent much of her career helping develop, fund and promote technology that

would help scientists see more clearly beyond Earths atmosphere. But her most well-known work

was perhaps leading to design the Hubble Space Telescope the first major telescope to be sent into

space for the purpose of gathering photographs and data from the universe. She was, therefore,

named as “the mother of Hubble”.

“She made it possible to get the early telescope up into space to learn what needed to be

learned,” said science historian Bob Zimmerman, and her hard-nosed nature helped get the

telescope built.

The telescope did not launch until 1990, a little more than a decade after Dr. Roman retired,

but when it did, its photographs of the universe thrilled the world. “I am glad,” she once told

Science, “I ignored the people who told me that I could not be an astronomer.”

4.What can we conclude from the teacher’s reaction to Nancy Roman’s application for taking a

second algebra course?

A. The teacher doubted it. B. The teacher didn’t care about it.

C. The teacher accepted it at once. D. The teacher was strongly against it.

5.What was the most famous achievement of Nancy Roman’s work?

A. She was one of the founders of NASA.

B. She proved the black hole really existed.

C. She led to design the Hubble Space Telescope.

D. She was the first female astronomer in the world.

6.When did Dr. Nancy Roman probably retire?

A. In 1969. B. In 1979. C. In 1990. D. In 2000.

7.What can we learn from Dr. Nancy Roman’s words in the last paragraph?

A. She was very proud of what she had done for the country.

B. She thought highly of the people who hadn’t believed her.

C. She had hard-nosed nature and never cared about other people’s opinions.

D. She was delighted to be an astronomer despite discrimination against her.

How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do

you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures? Read this passage to

find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.

New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However,

how these expressions are interpreted(解释) might depend on where you are from. Research by

scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has

challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. It was widely believed that six

basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust) were expressed and

recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow's work now suggests

that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of

emotions are impossible to distinguish(辨别 ). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide

open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.

So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate a much

more complex(复杂的) kind of feeling? The study found that the way expressions are interpreted

is different in different cultures. However, while looking at how people from the East and West
