问题    Emily wanted to see other people. Stuart had enjoyed a string of short-term relationships but realized that he needed more commitment. After years of uncertainty and making do, Fiona decided to follow her heart. Most found the decision emotional and stressful and felt guilty. Some worried that they were being superficial—but freely admitted they were leaving for the money.
   The stress of ending their relationship with an academic research career was difficult for these young scientists and others. Most of them, after a while, realized that they had made the right decision. Still, a few later regretted what they decided had been a toohasty exit, and wanted to patch things up. Such is life.
   【F1】Most importantly, all these people believe that they have learned from the experience and want to help others—people like you—who might be experiencing or considering a break-up. Their advice is the same as that offered by friends, family and advice columnists for centuries: if you’re not happy, then it’s not right.
   【F2】Produced by the Careers Research and Advisory Centre in Cambridge, UK, with help from others, the report What Do Research Staff Do Next? analyses survey responses of hundreds of former full-time academic researchers from across Europe who left to pursue other careers. Forget the redundant cliches. These were no "failures" or people who "couldn’t cope with the pace". More than three-quarters of them had published as a principal author and one-fifth had published a paper in a high-impact journal. One-quarter had managed to secure a competitive grant.
   Nor were they wide-eyed youngsters, rudely put in their place by the reality of the workplace. Most were in their thirties and almost one-third had a decade’s experience. 【F3】They changed their minds for three main reasons: they wanted better long-term prospects, they wanted more job security and they were no longer prepared to be employed on short-term and fixed contracts.
   In most cases, they got what they wanted. More than four in five were satisfied in their new jobs. Many had managed to stay in touch with science, and worked in a related function such as administration, outreach or publishing.
   Science should wish them well.【F4】As Nature has pointed out a regular flow of bright highly trained and scientifically literate workers heading into the wider world can only benefit society and science. 【F5】It is time to normalize these sideways steps, and for universities, senior scientists and research funders to accept and embrace the different paths that young researchers choose to follow. In most cases, the survey shows that these scientists were not forced out: they made an active choice to head elsewhere. And the outside world was delighted to have them.

选项

答案英国剑桥的职业调查与咨询中心和其他的一些组织对欧洲数百名已经转行的前全职科研人员进行了调查,并在《科研人员转行后在做什么》这份报告中对调查结果进行了分析。

解析 ①本句是复合句。句首的Produced by…with help from others是主句主语the report的定语修饰语,说明这份调查报告由哪家机构做出;What Do Research Staff Do Next?是the report“调查报告”的题名。②谓语analyses表示“对……进行分析”。survey responses表示此次调查的结果;of hundreds of...researchers是介词短语修饰survey responses,表示这项调查是针对“数百名前全职科研人员”,former表示他们现在已不再从事这项工作了。③from across Europe是修饰academic researchers的后置定语,from a country/place表示“某个地方的”,from across Europe即表示“欧洲的”。④who left to pursue other careers 是定语从句,同样修饰academic researchers,不定式短语to pursue other careers可以理解为left的目的状语,即“放弃科研工作去做其他的工作”;pursue career是常见表示“从事某项职业、某一领域”的表达。
