One day,Vinod Menon,head of the physics department at City College of New York,was going through his office mails.He opened a box,only     1    (find)$180,000 with a nameless letter and a return address.Having never seen so much money,he was too shocked to know what to do with it.

City College of New York is one of     2    (productive) public university systems in the United States,and the physics department has played a key role.Three Nobel Prize winners in physics received their education there,and in 1921 Albert Einstein gave one of his first lectures     3     campus.

“    4    (suppose) that you are a bit curious as to why I am doing this,the reason is simple,” the letter read.It continued to explain that many years before,its generous writer     5    (take) advantage of the excellent educational opportunity,available at City College to study physics,earn a master’s degree,and do a long,productive,well-rewarding scientific job.The sender wished to offer the money to poor students learning physics and     6     sciences.

The return address was to a house in Pensacola,Florida     7     owners had no idea of the money.The money     8    (put) aside at first,but after     9     two-month-long research which had found nothing that could link it to     10    (activity) which are not lawful,the leaders of the college decided to keep and make good use of the money.

Dr.Menon,who grew up in India,noted that the gift would provide for two fully-funded scholarships（全额奖学金）every year for ten years,and that he would try to see it go into the hands of the students who had the fewest means-such as immigrants（移民）like him.

4 . According to the majority of Americans, women are every bit as capable of being good political leaders as men. The same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporate boardroom. And according to a new Pew Research Center survey on women and leadership, most Americans find women equal to men on key leadership characteristics such as intelligence and capacity for innovation, with many saying they’re stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders.

So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the United States? According to the public, at least, it’s not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets.

It’s also not all about work-life balance. Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key barrier for women seeking leadership roles. Only about one-in-five say women’s family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren’t more females in top leadership positions in business and politics.

Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male counterparts to prove themselves. Similar shares say the electorate (选民) and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions.

As a result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate America will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made major advances in the workplace. While 53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future, 44% say it’s only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men. Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics: 73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime.

5 . The Little Baby Face Foundation (LBFF) provides free plastic surgery (整容手术) for children born with facial deformities (畸形). Many teenagers who have been _________ for their looks are now applying to have their problem areas “fixed” by LBFF.

Nadia, one 14-year-old teenager, had her face greatly changed in June when she went under the _________. Her classmates had been constantly making fun of her appearance. “They said I have the biggest ears that they’ve ever seen. They called me elephant ears,” Nadia said. Those _________ hurt her a lot. She even _________ how to end her own life.

But Nadia tried to _________ the bullying a secret from her mother, Lynda. Her mother was already dealing with mounting medical _________ for her 9-year-old son, Josh, who had a serious brain disease. When her mother did finally _________ about the bullying, she was heartbroken.

Then her mother _________ the LBFF, which accepted Nadia’s application. The surgeries were very _________ and it took months for her face to heal, but she did __________ return to school with a new face, a face she was finally proud of.

Nadia’s surgery may have helped her overcome her emotional pain, but should teenagers go to those __________ just because they are being bullied?

Experts __________ if the deformities are not really a problem to the child, plastic surgery is not the answer! In fact, when a teen decides to get plastic surgery because he or she is being bullied, it can send the wrong __________. By surgically changing the victim (受害者) of a bully, it is as if you __________ the bullying and agree the victim is in fact worthy of all those __________ he or she has been called.

7 . After two years of working from home, we have adapted to communicating digitally, in short bursts of time. Remember in Before Times you could head to the gym after work and then get dressed for dinner and a night out? The pandemic(疫情) has changed this. Our social batteries have run out of charge. It’s been a long time since we had to perform our social role for an extended period.

For 23-year-old Jennie, the excitement of her friends and family to restart their social lives has left her astonished. “At the minute my parents are planning a trip abroad and I keep postponing getting back to them with a date,” she explains. “They don’t know it’s because of all of this. Just the thought of being in a room full of people is scary, it’s like going back to school.”

Heather Garbutt, psychotherapist of The Counselling & Psychotherapy Centre says communication is key to recharging your unused social battery. “Take it slowly and don’t immediately organise a large get-together,” she advises. “Go for a walk with somebody for no more than half an hour and gently get used to being with people again. It may actually be a shock to our system which has been shut down to some degree to cope with absence. We may have that longing to be with others, but that doesn’t mean we are free from anxiety. It would be good to start off with a conversation about what it’s going to be like when you are all together again.”

She says finding some casual topics to discuss also works. Understand that many of you may feel a bit awkward after being physically apart for so long. It’s a bit like learning to walk again after you’ve broken a leg. It may all be off-balance to begin with but you will find a new steadiness with practice. Whatever happens post-pandemic, your loved ones can’t judge if you want to take it easy and not engage in the festivities immediately. We are recovering from a post-pandemic stress disorder, after all.

8 . Teens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better health as adults, according to research published by an American research center.

“This research suggests that improving students’ relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success,” said Jinho Kim, a professor at Korea University and author of the study. “It could also bring about health implications in the long run.” Previous research has suggested that teens’ social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal (因果的) — it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens’ relationships with their peers (同龄人), rather than on their relationships with teachers.

To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20, 000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in the U. S. that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3, 400 pairs of siblings (兄弟姐妹). As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?” As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.

Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.

The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. “This is not something that most teachers receive much training in,” Kim said, “but it should be.”

10 . Identity theft is attracting increasing attention from the public.     1    When your identity is stolen, the thief often does fraud with that. He may get a credit card in your name and spend it carelessly without paying the bills. He may get a driver’s license in your name, and you will be held responsible for the traffic accidents he causes.

Why is identity theft becoming so common?    2    And the wealth of personal details people post on social networks such as Facebook also makes it easier for identity thieves to obtain personal information.

Many people are not aware of the problems caused by the crime.    3    

    4     This is why it is of importance that every person should become cautious when using the Internet. The following tips may prevent you from identity theft.

First, make sure your computer has an updated anti-virus and firewall system installed. Second,     5    Your date of birth, names of schools attended, phone number or the names of your parents are often required to verify an identity, and thieves can use this information, too. Last but not least, create complex passwords using a combination of numbers and keyboard symbols, and change your passwords on a regular basis.
