You’ll need to take basic courses in biology，chemistry and physics to equip yourself with the basics of each science，as well as the scientific method of observing and experimenting. Skills in one or two foreign languages may be helpful as well，in order to read older scientific papers that are written in foreign languages.     3    

    4     After you’ve gotten your feet wet and you’re familiar with the directions this work could take you，choose a major in a more specific（具体的）branch of science.

Develop your writing skills. You’ll also need to mite well as a scientist，both to get money for your research and to publish your results in scientific magazines.     5     Always be reading scientific journals and keep up with the field. You’ll be in those journals yourself，in time. Look over their work for structure and the basics of a good scientific paper.

A．Get a higher education.

B．Be patient，and think creatively.

【推荐2】The conflict in the family can affect everyone's functioning. Remember to handle your family problems using the following problem-solving skills.

Schedule a time to talk as a group. Facing and overcoming family problems can seem impossible. When you work together, however, resolving family differences becomes more feasible.     1     Make everyone aware of the purpose of the meeting and that you want them to arrive at suggestions and solutions at the ready.

    2     When disagreements occur, people have a tendency to bring up every unresolved issue they have ever encountered with the other parties. Strive to uncover what is actually important about the current problem. Building a case or bringing up old misdeeds will not assist you in resolving this issue.

    3     Direct communication is essential to effective conflict resolution. Each party should use the "I" statement to clearly state their needs,wants, and concerns. Making an "I" statement allows each person to be responsible for what they are feeling, and suggests a remedy for the problem at the same time.

Listen without interrupting. To reach an agreement during a family conflict, listening is imperative.     4     Effective listening allows the other persons to feel heard and motivates the other parties to want to listen to you.

Decide on a solution together. Once everyone has shared their needs, wants, and concerns, then strive for a compromise.     5     Everyone present should feel good about the proposed solution. If necessary, develop a contract or a written agreement outlining how you will manage the problem.

A．Seek professional advice.

B．Focus on the issue at hand.

C．Have everyone state what they truly mean.

D．Be aware of how different family members may react to problems.

E．Have a meeting at a time that is mostly convenient for everyone.

F．Consider all the suggestions that each party has provided and look for middle ground.

G．Only by actively listening to each party can you understand what he is trying to communicate.
