When I was in high school, I didn’t know anything about engineering. At that time, when the car I drove needed repairing, I was afraid to take it to the 36 . Because honestly, the mechanic could have 37 me an electric can opener and said, “This is part of your car and it’s 38 -----pay me to fix it.” Then I wouldn’t have known any better.

At the end of my junior year of high school, I heard about a summer program 39 to interest girls in engineering. The six-week program was free, and students were 40 college credits and a dorm room at the University of Maryland. I applied to the program, not because I wanted to be an engineer, but because I was looking forward to 41 and wanted to stay away from my parents for six weeks. www..com

I was accepted to the program and I earned six engineering credits. The next year I entered the university as an engineering student. Five years later I had a degree and three good job offers.

I can’t help shaking 42 I hear about studies that show women are 43 when it comes to math. They imply that I am a little stupid. I’m not, but I 44 know that if I hadn’t met with that summer program, I wouldn’t be an engineer.

When I was growing up, I was told, as many students were, to do what I was best at. But I didn’t know what that was. Most people think that when you are 45 something, it comes easily to you. But this is what I discovered: just because a subject is 46 to learn, it does not mean you are not good at it. You just have to grit your teeth and work hard to get good at it. Once you do, there’s good 47 that you will enjoy it more than anything else.

43. A. at a disadvantage B. at a loss C. in a trap D. in a shock

44. A. never B. do C. hardly D. nearly

45. A. good at B. bad at C. interested in D. devoted to

A new study has found evidence of aggressive (攻击性的) behavior in children who drink four or more servings of soft drinks every day.

Shakira Suglia, a famous expert, says they’ve found that children who drink the most soda are more than twice as likely as those who drink no soda to show signs of aggression.
