Ⅲ.阅读理解

Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times.Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for Science，one of the highest honors in the world.Some women scientists never married，some worked with their husbands，and others raised large families.It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.

In the early 1800s in England，Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for

her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth.Mary and her father collected fossils(化石) in their village on the south coast of Great Britain.Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.

When she was only twelve years old，Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons(骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on the earth.She didn't become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.

In 1891，a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics.She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland.She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie.Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together.They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist.Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911，this time for Chemistry.Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist.

Do People Need Small Talk to Be Happy?

Psychologists (心理学家) have long said that connecting with others is an important part of happiness, but just how much conversation we require is under examination.In one study, researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of their conversations related to happiness.  1     Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding.Late last year, Princeton researchers reported that small talk keeps closeness with loved ones, and isn't merely the stuff of awkward exchanges with strangers.

Still, chatting with strangers could brighten your morning.In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago passengers different directions about whether to talk with fellow passengers—something they typically avoided.  2     None of the chatters reported being rejected.

Small talk can also help us feel connected with our surroundings.People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas (服务员) reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction (交易).  3     One report found that when volunteers broke the silence to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected with the exhibit than those who were not approached.

  4     In one study, people who were rated “less curious” by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure (透露).But people who were considered “curious” needed no help when transforming conversations about ordinary things into personal exchanges.  5   

A．The same is true of gallery goers.
