Close your eyes and picture a scientist.Does an image of a man show up in
your mind?
It is hard to ignore that even in the 21st century the“ scientist equals

engineering and mathematics) students in higher education are women.In
pursuing science and technology careers women are more likely to be treated
unfairly because of their motherhood and skin color “Role models of women
scientists need to be better represented on important international stages and
allow their voices to be heard as a way to encourage youths, Lenore Blum ,a
female scientist from the US said.
In December, Talk With Lu Jian ,a Chinese TV show, launched a series of
programs including geneticist(遗传学家)Fu Qiaomei at the Chinese Academy of
Sciences and Rong Yia chief designer of the Long March 2F rocket.
“These female scientists share a strong passion(热情)for science,” said Lu
Jian, the TV show’s host .“They are making a pathway(通道)for the next
women scientists.” Actions should also be taken to create a better
environment for women working in the field of science and technology noted
Science and Technology Daily.For example,they should be given more
resources(资源)join in decision-making and gain support for their research
during maternity(生育).

学科网（北京）股份有限公司I turned 8 years old the day I skipped school(逃学)for the first time.It was
easy done Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived on
weekdays so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning,I
simply did not get on.The perfect crime!
And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day with no adults
and no limits(限制)on my activities?Did I get high?
Nope. I made a warm fire in the wood stove prepared a bowl of popcorn
got a blanket, and read.I was excited and transported by a book-it was
Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises-and I just needed to be alone with it for a
little while.I was dying to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady
Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in a
classroom taking another exam when I could be travelling through Spain in
the 1920s.
I spent that day lost in words.Time fell away as the room around me turned
to mist
(薄雾)，and my role-as a daughter sister,teenager,and student-in the world no
longer had any meaning.I accidentally got the key to perfect happiness:I had
become completely absorbed in(沉浸在)something I loved.
Hemingway’ s language quietly entered my mind.I was downloading
information about how to create simple and elegant(优雅的)sentences a good
plot.In other words, I was learning how to write.Without realizing it writing
now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous
side effect.
