adapted from Jennine Cap Crucet,Make Your Home Among Strangers.2015 by Jennine Cap Crucet.Lizets biology professor has sent her an email asking to meet.I scanned my mind for what this could be about.Had I left a supply closet or fridge unlocked?Had I open centrifuged one of the specimens shed Line asked me to look at when it was supposed to be closed centrifuged?Had she glanced over my 5 shoulder at my class notes and seen the list of embarrassing questions only I seemed to have and which Id scribbled under the heading Things to Look Up Later?Id been so careful around her so far,hoping to make up for all the times I raised my 10 hand and revealed how little I knew,all the times she caught me pretty much fondling the equipmentthe elegant pipettes,the test tube racks that kept everything snug and in place,the magical autoclave incinerating all evidence of use 15 and making everything perfect over and over again.It couldve been any or all of these things:she was so smart that I was certain shed put these observations together and conclude,long before I figured it out,that though I was eager and good at 20 keeping contamination at bay,I wasnt cut out for the hard sciences.I wrote her back,composing my e-mail in a word processing program first to makesure the green squiggly line of grammarimpropriety didnt show up under every clause,25 and confirmed that I could meet with her Monday at noon,right after class.She wrote back a cryptic,That will be more than fine.The three hours of that weeks lab class felt like a goodbye.I stacked each petri dish as if it were 30 the last time Id be allowed to handle those delicate circles of glass.I swished saline solution for longer than was needed,looked at the agar coating the bottom of plates as if its nutrients were intended for me and were about to be withheld.35 When a question popped into my head,I kept my hand down and didnt even bother to write it in my notebook.I watched Professor Kaufmann for clues all class but saw nothing,though shed already proven 40 herself good at masking frustration with kindness.You could drop an entire tray of beakers,and she would smile and in a too-high voice say,Thats OK!I sometimes thought I was the only one in the class who saw through her,could tell how very 45 upset she was at all that shattered glass on the floor:I knew it from the way shed say Hmmm as she accosted the student culprit with a broom and stood over them,pointing out a missed shard here,a tiny speck there.Shed wait until they put the 50 broom away before noticing another piece,then instruct them to go back so to the closet and bring the broom again.I approached her lab bench once everyone had left.She was scribbling something on graph paper,55 and I glanced at what she wrote once I was closer.更多资料请加QQ群：362066974Whatever it was,it was in Germanprobably not a good signand it was underneath a series of equations that meant nothing to me and which were in no way related to our class.60 Liz!she said.Oh,super!Come here,please!She stood and let me have her seat.I sat there for a good minute,watched her keep working as if she hadnt just asked me to sit down.Her pen dug into the paper and I wondered if she had two 65 brainswondered if there were a way I could split my own mind like that,be in one place but let my mind hang out wherever it wanted.She slapped the pen down on her notebook,and without even apologizing for the awkward three or 70 so minutes wed been right next to each other but not speaking,she said,Thank you for staying after class.I see youre eager to know what this is about.Yes,I said.I tried to keep my back straight;I 75 found trying to maintain good posture more painful than just slouching.Even seated on her high stool,I was still looking up at her.I said,Is everything okay?Yes,of course.Thank you for asking.80 I figured then that I should stop talking lest I incriminate myself,but she smiled at me and nodded as if Id kept speaking,as if I was saying something at that very moment.Yes,so,she said.You are enjoying the lab so 85 far?I love it,I blurted out.Its my favorite classthis semester.Super!she said.Thats super.She nodded some more.After a few additional 90 seconds of painful silence and sustained eye contact she asked,Are you interested in becoming a research scientist?I thought I wanted to be a doctor,but that didnt seem like the right answer.95 Yes,I said.I am.Good,super.Because there is something you should do then,a program.Its a summer position at our field laboratory off the coast of Santa Barbara,in California.You would be perfect for it.100 1 In the passage,a major source of tension for the narrator is between her A)artistic pursuits and medical ambitions.B)romantic ideals and practical considerations.C)childhood

Constitutional Convention in 1787.There are two passions which have a powerful influence in the affairs of men.These are ambition and avarice;the love of power and the love of money.Separately,each of these has great force in prompting men to action;but,when united in view 5 of the same object,they have,in many minds,the most violent effects.Place before the eyes of such men a post of honor,that shall,at the same time,be a place of profit,and they will move heaven and earth to obtain it.The vast number of such places it 10 is that renders the British Government so tempestuous.The struggles for them are the true source of all those factions which are perpetually dividing the nation,distracting its councils,hurrying it sometimes into fruitless and 15 mischievous wars,and often compelling a submission to dishonorable terms of peace.And of what kind are the men that will strive for this profitable pre-eminence,through all the bustle of cabal,the heat of contention,the infinite mutual 20 20 abuse of parties,tearing to pieces the best of characters?It will not be the wise and moderate,the lovers of peace and good order,the men fittest for the trust.It will be the bold and the violent,the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in their 25 selfish pursuits.These will thrust themselves into your government,and be your rulers.And these,too,will be mistaken in the expected happiness of their situation,for their vanquished competitors,of the same spirit,and from the same motives,will 30 perpetually be endeavoring to distress their administration,thwart their measures,and render them odious to the people.Besides these evils,.though we may set out in the beginning with moderate salaries,we shall find 35 that such will not be of long continuance.Reasons will never be wanting for proposed augmentations;and there will always be a party for giving more to the rulers,that the rulers may be able,in return,to give more to them.Hence,as all history informs us,40 there has been in every state and kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing and the governed;the one striving to obtain more for its support,and the other to pay less.And this has alone occasioned great convulsions,actual civil 45 wars,ending either in dethroning of the princes or enslaving of the people.Generally,indeed,the ruling power carries its point,and we see the revenues of princes constantly increasing and see that they are never satisfied,but always in want of 50 more.The more the people are discontented with the oppression of taxes,the greater need the prince has of money to distribute among his partisans,and pay the troops that are to suppress all resistance,and enable him to plunder at pleasure.There is 55 scarce a king in a hundred,who would not,if he could,follow the example of Pharaoh,get first all the peoples money,then all their lands,and then make them and their children servants forever.It will be said that we do not propose to establish 60 kings,I know it.But there is a natural inclination in mankind to kingly government.It sometimes relieves them from aristocratic domination.They had rather have one tyrant than five hundred.It gives more of the appearance of equality among 65 citizens;and that they appearance of equality among citizens:and that they like.I am apprehensive,therefore,perhaps too apprehensive,that the government of these States may,in future times,end in a monarchy.But this 70 catastrophe,I think,may be long delayed,if in our proposed system we do not sow the seeds of contention,faction,and tumult,by making our posts of honor places of profit.11 The main purpose of the passage is to A)support the establishment of a democraticgovernment.B)caution against overcompensating governmentofficialsC)propose limitations to executive authority inthe United States.D)express regret over humanitys propensitytoward autocratic rule.12 As used in line 2,affairs most nearly means

Evidence for Evolution.2009 by Richard Dawkins.There are two small islets off the Croatian coast called Pod Kopiste and Pod Mrcaru.In 1971 a population of common Mediterranean lizards,Podarcis sicula,which mainly eat insects,was present on Pod Kopiste but there were none on Pod 5 Mrcaru.In that year experimenters transported five pairs of Podarcis sicula from Pod Kopiste and released them on Pod Mrcaru.Then,in 2008,another group of mainly Belgian scientists,associated with Anthony Herrel,visited the isl
