我认为，科学家就是那些在工作中严格要求自己及专注于他们所从事的每件事的人。
科学家从不莽撞地做出结论。
反之，他对自己所提出的结论都极为谨慎，为此，他可以一次又一次做实验。
科学家都牢记这么一点：一个理论如果无法帮助世人从不可预料的困境中解脱的话，就不能称之为好理论。
而且，好的理论应该是可以为其他理论的建立提供基础的。
因此，我们不难看到科学家们耗尽一生的心血，只为找到一个放诸四海皆准的理论。

高考英语一轮复习第一部分基础考点聚焦Unit1Greatscientists知能演练轻松闯关新人教版必修5Ⅰ阅读理解A(2017·浙江卷10月)It’s surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights(领悟)．So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We’re all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive(认知的) performance or is it just a feeling?Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people’s powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.What they found was that people wearing white coatsperformed better than those who weren’t. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test(one way of measuring attention). The researchers call the effect “enclothed cognition，” suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways.This opens the way for all sorts of clothesbased experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef’s hat make the resultant food taste better?From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low. Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a cap and gown(学位服)．【解题导语】本文讲述了Adam和Galinsky所做的一个关于穿着白大褂人们注意力的实验。

The Nobel Foundation might consider changes at its next meeting.One possibility would be to withhold (阻止) the announcement of an award until a Nobel official hears the winner’s voice on the famous notification calls.【文章大意】诺贝尔奖是一个国际奖项，用来奖励前一年在科学上取得重大发现的人。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校Unit 1 Great Scientists Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·二模) 01830864Scientists investigated why Ebola virus is so deadly when it spreads from animals to humans and then from humantohuman contact. The research team looked at the Zaire Ebola virus in an animal system to understand how it gains strength. This virus is responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. They found that initially the animal systems were not affected by the virus, but succeeding transmission(传送) into other animals caused the virus to “hot up” and become more severe.The team analyzed the viruses at different stages and were able to identify several changes in its genetic material that were associated with increased disease.Professor Julian Hiscox, who led the study from the University's Institute of Infection and Global Health, explains: “The work tells us that the evolutionary goal of Ebola virus is to become more fatal.”“We were able to show through genetic analysis which parts of the virus are involved in this process. The information we have gathered will now allow us to monitor for such changes in an outbreak as well as develop future treatment strategies.”Professor Roger Hewson, leading the study from Public Health England, Porton Down, said: “Ebola virus is such a destructive infection to the people affected by the disease and the econ omy of West Africa.”“Our understanding of Ebola virus biology is way behind that of other viruses and our cooperation shows how we can bring together our specialists' skills to close this knowledge gap.”Professor Miles Carroll, a coauthor of the work, said: “This study has allowed the team to be at the forefront of developing methodologies to analyze patient samples recently taken by the European Mobile Laboratory from West Africa to understand disease evolution during the current outbreak.”文章大意：本文是医疗科研报告。
