Science drives — and is driven by — human curiosity as we 【小题1】 (natural) want to understand everything from our bodies to our environment. We need science to help 【小题2】 (we) develop new ideas, improve industries, and revolutionize (彻底改变) daily life with new technology and methods 【小题3】 will impact lives for generations.

The fundamental (根本的) job of scientists has been — and will continue to be — research. Research jobs are available in all fields, industries, and 【小题4】 (organization): universities, private companies and governments. It's an incredibly 【小题5】 (excite) time to be a researcher because there are many new technologies, new discoveries, and new frontiers (尖端领域) to explore.

As a research scientist, your options are as open 【小题6】 your imagination and interests. Research 【小题7】 (happen) across all fields, all over the world! You might study lasers (激光) and win a Nobel Prize, or help create a supercomputer. Your research may lead 【小题8】 new pharmaceutical (制药的) methods of 【小题9】 (help) Alzheimer’s patients. Your career could also be above the earth studying black holes or on board the International Space Station as an astronaut. Science is a large field of study. There are plenty of opportunities 【小题10】 (develop) your skills to discover and create innovations that will change tomorrow.

As an educator, I know what is going on in the minds of my students. I look at 【小题1】 (they) body language.

When students are interested in a lesson, they lean forward and look at me. People have a tendency 【小题2】 (lean) towards whatever they are interested in. So if a student has his head 【小题3】 (lower) to look at his watch, it implies he is bored and just counting the minutes for the class to end. If two friends are leaning their heads together, they are 【小题4】 (probable) writing notes to each other. Of course, not everyone 【小题5】 looks up is paying attention in class. Some students look up, but there is an 【小题6】 (absent) of eye contact. Their eyes barely move, and they always have 【小题7】 same distant expression on their faces. It is as though they are asleep 【小题8】 their eyes open.

Some students are amused by something else. They spend all their time 【小题9】 (look) anywhere but at me. They are certainly interested in something, but who knows what. The main thing is reminding distracted 【小题10】 (student) that they need to pay attention in class.
