I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender(性别)politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus(相对于)right brain, or nature versus nurture(培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer: 45.I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them "war" stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?
选项
A、Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.
B、Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.
C、Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
D、Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.
答案
C
解析
本题问的是作者给学生们呈现的形象暗示了什么。文章最后一段指出,有些学生会担心如何处理科学研究和想要生儿育女之间的矛盾,而作者对于这个问题的回答就是她展现给学生们的一幅景象:她们怀了孕的物理教授挺着大肚子仍然坚持在做物理实验。由此可知,作者呈现的形象正是告诉那些学生们。女性不用担心想要生儿育女就不能继续工作,她们可以找到事业与家庭的平衡点,故本题选C。
