Characteristics of an Excellent Scientist
The Free Dictionary defines(定义)a
scientist as a person having professional knowledge
on one or more sciences,especially natural science
or physical science.
1 Let's look at some characteristics of
an excellent scientist.
Curiosity.
2 Scientists such as Thomas Edison
and George Westinghouse discovered things
mainly because they wanted to know how
things work.If a scientist doesn't have the
drive to ask questions or even wonder,then
he/she never gets to the first stage of the
scientific process.
Patience.
3 There are very few jobs that take
longer than this one.Even if you think you
have received some education on science,you
still have a lot of scientific research to do.If
you're an instant-gratification(及时满足的)
type of person,this may not be the best choice
卓尔英语
卓尔英语
U-BEET ENGLIS
for you.
Ethical(道德的)qualities..
In order to truly discover and use
knowledge for the greater good,a scientist
must have a desire to improve people's life as
well as the environment and living things,
since they are all linked and they can affect
one another in the long run.A scientist must
report findings honestly regardless of personal
or outside commercial(商业的)interests.
Sticking to an old belief contradicted(反驳)by
evidence is dishonest.4
Working habits.
An excellent scientist even takes notes of
the smallest observation,keeping it in mind
and recording it.5 He/She also needs to
communicate thoughts on paper and verbally.
Networking skills connect him/her with
colleagues working on similar projects where
he/she may discover something new.
A.Becoming a scientist takes a long time.
B.An excellent scientist must be very
curious about things.
C.It also defines a scientist as someone
who uses scientific methods.
D.However,that belief shouldn't be
changed without powerful evidence.
E.He/She can work well alone or in
groups,depending on what's needed.
F.To make discoveries in
human
knowledge,you have to think differently.
G.One of the main places that many
scientists work in is the research laboratory.

About 1.5 billion people speak English
around the world.But for more than 1.1 billion
of them,English is their second language-
often with a noticeable accent.
"Someone's accent really reveals a lot
about who they are and what their identity is.
It will tell people what their native language is
and probably where they come from,"says
Marc D.Pell,a communication professor at
McGill University in Montreal.And according
to Pell,.one reaction to it can be a bias(偏见)
against that person.
Previous research that has been done
elsewhere shows that people who have an
accent tend to be trusted less,simply because
they have an accent.But accents aren't the
only thing we listen to when we have to decide
if we trust another person.The tone of voice
also plays a role.Pell and his team wanted to
know if people would trust a confident tone,
even if it came from someone with an accent.
The researchers had Canadian English
speakers listen to different versions of people
saying neutral(中立的)statements like“she
has access to the building"while they were
getting a brain scan in an MRI(磁共振成像)
machine.Subjects heard someone say it in a
confident tone with a Canadian English accent,
an Australian accent or a French accent.
Participants also heard the sentence with the
three accents spoken in a doubtful or neutral
tone.
The MRI scans showed that the
participants had to use more brain power to
卓尔英语
【专项必备】一高
decide if they could trust the statements said
with the non-native accents.When the study
participants heard the Australian or French
accents,blood flow increased to the part of the
brain that we use to process sound.They
seemed to have to analyze that perhaps more
carefully,or for a longer period of time to
make this decision about whether they truly
believed the speaker,especially when the
speaker sounded doubtful.When asked,the
participants reported not trusting either
Australian or French accents-except when the
statements were said confidently.It seems that
confidence speaks for itself.
l.What does the underlined word“it”in
Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.A person's accent.
B.A person's identity.
C.A person's hometown
D.A person's native language.
