Broad Band: by Claire L. Evans. Portfolio，2018 ($27)
Though often outnumbered by men，women stayed in the booming field of computing. In this inspiring tale，writer Evans records the contributions of some of the many women who aided the rise of the modern Internet.

Memorable characters include Elizabeth "Jake" Feinler, an information scientist who helped researchers navigate the Arpane and Stacy Horn，who started one of the first social networks，Echo.
The Wizard and the Prophet: by Charles C. Mann. Knopf，2018( $28.95) The human population is moving toward 10 billion --- some experts think we'll nearly hit that mark by 2050. How will the earth feed，house and otherwise support such a crowd? Environmental thinkers usually fall into one of two camps: those who prefer conservation and controlling consumption，like William Vogt，and those who trust innovation to solve our problems, Norman Borlaug, for example. Writer Mann carefully records the lives and thought of the founders of these two philosophies.

A Lab of One's Own: by Patricia Fara. Oxford University Ptess，2018( $24.95)

In World War I many women in the U.K. replaced their aprons with chemical suits and stepped into previously male-only fields of science, where they led war research efforts. Science historian Fara illustrates the lives of many of these forgotten women. Although the era marked a major step forward for women scientists, many worked for small wages in an environment of discrimination.
In the nearly 100 years since, women have come a long way, Fara writes, but the glass ceilings remain solid and the pipelines leaky.
Atom Land: by Jon Butterworth. The Experiment，2018( $19.95)

Butterworth takes readers on an amusing journey through the unknown world of particle (粒子) physics. The first stop is "Atom Land，" where Butterworth explains how electrons，protons and neutrons come together to build up everything we know. As the journey unfolds，we learn about lesser-known particles. Thankfully, our ship is equipped with tools such as mathematical equations（方程式）and a "laser light" that lights up the darkest of concepts.

Flying down a 488-meter-long slide provides plenty of excitement for most people. But for those who like more extreme adventures, Nicaragua offers an even more exciting slide experience. The thought of racing down an active volcano with only a board is enough to get most people hot under the collar. But for thrill-seeking sports fanatics, boarding down a 2,380-foot-high volcano at the speed of 80 km/h is the coolest sport around.
Thousands of travelers are heading to the foothills of Nicaragua’s Cerro Negro to take part in the new sporting craze (狂热). Surfers, dressed in protective jump suits, knee-pads and helmets, receive brief instructions and then try sliding down a short slope(斜坡). After that, it’s time for the real thing. Sitting on their specially-constructed boards, surfers push off and fly straight down a 488-meter-long slope. The black volcanic ash provides a dusty, dirty ride. But boarders usually arrive at the bottom with smiles on their faces.
Phillip Southan, owner and manager of Bigfoot Hostel and Green Pathways Tours, said, "We started offering this trip in 2005 and it has become so popular. This is a unique tour as nowhere else in the world can you board down an active volcano."
"What we offer is a tour for everyone with absolutely no experience. One of the greatest attractions of the tour is that you get a bit of everything. Since 2005, more than 10,000 people have traveled to Cerro Negro to give it a try."
"When you are on the top you will have the opportunity to stand near the crater(火山口) and see a smoking volcano. But the biggest risk is that you will take the chance of getting some scratches if you fall over."
"Many years of experience has taken this tour to a level where it is safe but still fun and for some people a little frightening. We are always working on ways to continue improving it for the future."
【1】Which words can best describe the slide in Cerro Negro?
A. Secure but tiring. B. Enjoyable but risky.
C. Popular but demanding. D. Worthwhile but painful.
【2】What does the underlined words "the real thing" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Sliding down the volcanic slope.
B. Escaping the black volcanic ash.
C. Heading to the mountaintop alone.
D. Receiving professional slide instructions
【3】In what way is the slide in Cerro Negro special?
A. It is available to everyone.
B. It has the longest slope worldwide.
C. It is based on an active volcano.
D. It offers specially-constructed boards.
【4】What makes the slide in Cerro Negro relatively safe according to Phillip Southan?
A. High-tech safety facilities.
B. Knowledge and skills from practice.
C. Advanced training guidance on the slide.
D. Staff’s familiarity with the surroundings.

A project in Gambia is empowering women and reducing dangerous waste at the same time.
The Waste Innovation Center, funded by the European Union’s Global Climate Change Alliance，shows women in the Brikama area how to recycle waste into useful materials and products, which they can then sell in local markets.
Wood-like waste is recycled into charcoal (木炭)，for example，which can be used to supersede firewood and reduce the number of trees that are cut down for firewood. Food waste is recycled into compost(混合肥料）to function as environmentally friendly fertilizers and plastic is turned into many useful things.
Supported by WasteAid UK and the Gambia Women’s Initiative (GWI), among others, the project provides women with skills they can use to become self-sufficient (自给自足的). Women learning at the center come from five communities, and some of them travel as far as 12 miles to learn these important skills that will provide them with an income, according to The Guardian.
Isatou Ceesay, who now leads the GWI，highlighted the need to focus on economic equality in her country, telling The Guardian, “In terms of education, women are the ones who are always behind. Boys are chosen to go to school. When we conduct our training, we find women can do a lot，but don’t know who they are, or how to implement (实施）things. ”
According to the World Health Organization’s Country Cooperation Strategy 2008—2013 report, the main environmental issue facing Gambia is poor waste management in urban areas.
Ndey Sireng Bakurin, executive director of the National Environment Agency, has voiced concern over health and environmental risks, such as water pollution, the increase of insects as well as flooding that occur as a result of poor waste management.
【1】What does the Waste Innovation Center try to do?
A. Develop local markets in Brikama.
B. Teach women how to invent new things.
C. Keep women away from dangerous waste.
D. Help women in Brikama benefit from waste.
【2】What does the underlined word “supersede” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Replace. B. Transform.
C. Burn. D. Reserve.
【3】From what Isatou Ceesay said we can learn that women in Gambia___.
A. don’t learn new things fast
B. aren’t interested in education
C. really hope for economic equality
D. are not fairly treated in the country
【4】What is the writer’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?
A. To summarize the previous paragraphs.
B. To provide some advice for the readers.
C. To add some background information.
D. To introduce a new topic for discussion.

Bees are unimaginably territorial (有地盘意识的), fighting to death to defend their home with painful stings (螫刺). But killer bees are particularly fierce. They appeared after African bees were imported to Brazil in the 1950s. By the 1980s, they had spread north to the United States, outgunning native bees along the way. Their massive attacks have killed more than 1,000 people.
Mario Palma, a biochemist at Sao Paulo State University in Rio Claro, Brazil, who studies social behavior in bees, wanted to understand the basis of this aggression. So he and his colleagues swung a black leather ball in front of some killer bees and collected the bees whose stingers got stuck in the ball during the attack. They also collected killer bees that remained in the cell. The analysis suggested that killer bee brains have two proteins that—in the aggressive bees—quickly break into pieces to form a so-called “neuropeptide (神经肽)”, they reported this week in the Journal of Proteome Research.
Palma and his colleagues already knew that bee brains have these two proteins. “We were astonished when we identified some very simple neuropeptides, which were produced in a few seconds,” Palma said. Killer bees that remained in the cell did not make these neuropeptides, he reported. And when his team put these neuropeptides into young, less aggressive bees, they “became aggressive like older individuals”.
Palma added that these neuropeptides also increase the production of energy and alarm chemicals. They could also encourage the nerve cells in killer bees needed to make the stinging attack. “There is a fine biochemical regulation in the killer bee brain,” he said. Researchers have found these neuropeptides in other insects, but few had associated them with “fight” behavior.
【1】What is special about bees?
A. They are particularly fierce. B. They show territorial behavior.
C. They were imported to Brazil. D. They live in harmony with other insects.
【2】Why did Palma and his colleagues perform the experiment?
A. To understand bees’ social behavior.
B. To study why killer bees are aggressive.
C. To prove bees love flying around.
D. To learn how bees communicate with each other.
【3】What finding surprised the researchers during the experiment?
A. There are two proteins in killer bee brains.
B. Young killer bees are fiercer than older ones.
C. The killer bees make an attack immediately.
D. Killer bee brains produce neuropeptide quickly.
【4】What will the author probably talk about following the last paragraph?
A. The form of these neuropeptides in killer bees.
B. The function of these neuropeptides in other insects.
C. The application of these scientific methods in other insects.
D. The production of energy and alarm chemicals in killer bees.
