B Katherine Johnson was an African-American mathematician whose calculations (计算) were critical to the success of the first US human spaceflights. Born in 1918, she was a math genius as a child and skipped several grades. In 1953, she joined NASA (then called NACA) as a “human computer,” calculating complex flight paths by hand. At that time, racial segregation (种族隔离) existed, and women, especially Black women, faced huge barriers. But Katherine's brilliance could not be ignored. She calculated the trajectory (轨道) for Alan Shepard's first US spaceflight in 1961 and later verified (核实) the calculations for John Glenn's orbit around the Earth in 1962. Glenn famously insisted that Katherine personally check the computer's numbers before his flight. Later, she worked on the Apollo missions to the Moon and the Space Shuttle program. In 2015, President Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She died in 2020 at age 101. Her story was told in the film Hidden Figures. She proved that talent and determination can break any barrier. 36．What was Katherine Johnson's main job at NASA? A．A pilot. B．A mathematician doing calculations. C．A spacecraft designer. D．A medical doctor. 37．Why did John Glenn want Katherine to check the numbers? A．Because he didn't trust computers. B．Because she was the only worker there.

I'm Li Hua. Today I'd like to share an inspiring person with you. The person I admire most is Tu Youyou, a great scientist who discovered artemisinin. She is inspiring because, first, she never gave up even after hundreds of failed experiments; second, she tested the medicine on herself to make sure it was safe, showing great devotion to saving lives. Her persistence and selflessness deeply move me. As a student, I will learn from her spirit — when I meet difficulties in study, I will keep trying instead of giving up, and I will work hard to contribute to society in the future. That's all.
