Growing up, interest and enjoyment in learning were not important to my parents, and therefore not to me; only good grades mattered. I chose chemistry because it seemed like a path to varied possible professional futures. Learning chemistry wasn’t boring, but I did not love my subject.
When deciding what to do after finishing my undergraduate degree, I was largely driven by a desire for financial (财务的) independence. While exploring the job market, I found most asked for a master’s. I was offered a spot in a graduate program and decided to do it. It came with the opportunity to continue to a Ph.D., but I never saw a Ph.D. as my likely direction.
However, in my second year, during a lab project, my doubts about a Ph.D. began to give way. I spent a lot of time in the lab and never felt bored. I even started to prefer experiments over classes. Working in the lab seemed much more satisfying than scoring well on exams. I began to wonder: was there a place in academia for someone like me, without an inborn passion for science
As my master’s was drawing to a close, I became restless. My scores positioned me well for hiring — a valuable opportunity I didn’t want to miss. Everyone advised against a Ph.D., arguing for better pay and easier work outside academia. But my interest in research kept growing, and I didn’t want to live with “what if ”. I backed out and chose the Ph.D..
There are ups and downs, but it just feels right to start each day in the lab, learning something new. My career choice gives me confidence to follow my own direction instead of others’ expectations.
Having started my career as an “unwilling” chemist, I am yet to announce my love for what I do. But I try to solve problems for my own satisfaction. That makes me no less capable than other chemists, and no less worthy of a space in science.
14. What led the author to pick chemistry as a field of study
A. Strong performance in exams. B. Desire for broad career possibilities.
C. Passion for hands- on research. D. Determination for a place in academia.
15. What was the author unsure about as his master’s program approached completion
A. How to balance research with financial independence.
B. Whether to focus on lab work or academic achievements.
C. How to balance a love for experiments with the dream to be a Ph.
D. Whether to follow his academic interest or accept a well-paying job.
16. Why does the author describe himself as an “unwilling” chemist
A. He hates to be a chemist.
B. He suffers from learning chemistry.
C. He didn’t choose chemistry out of pure love.
D. He became a chemist by following others’ advice.
17. What can we learn from this passage
A. Fortune favors the patient. B. Passion can grow with experience.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Self-belief turns hesitation into strength.
C
In his book Homo Deus, writer Yuval Noah Harari asks, “Are creatures just programs and is life just data processing ” Could the human mind one day be downloaded onto a computer This existential, unsettling idea is key to Anti- Body, a new dance work from the Alexander Whitley Dance Company.
At a recent practice, I saw three dancers standing behind screens. Motion-capture (动作捕捉) sensors attached to their bodies pick up their routines and the movement data is sent to a computer. The technology creates a series of visuals on the screens, ranging from 3D cell-like images to human-like avatars, all shifting in real time in response to the dancers’ movements.
The dancers’ control of the visuals is a nod to our increasing reliance on technology and how this bridges the physical and digital worlds. “Our actions take effect far beyond the immediate presence of our bodies,” explains Alexander Whitley, the work’s artistic director. Who or what are we becoming, asks Whitley, in a post-human, real/ virtual world
The way technology reshapes our world may be unsettling, but Anti- Body feels more positive than that, with what motion capture can offer — art, creativity and self-expression. Whitley also wants to explore how the dancers’ movements influence the visuals, encouraging people to think about living beyond the physical limit of the body — welcome to the transhuman. In one scene, a dancer remotely (远程地) controls cell- like images that gradually develop into human- like avatars.
Anti-Body is an ambitious project, but the message may get a little lost in translation, with no dialogue or subtitles. Whitley, however, is unconcerned by the possibility that the audience will set about making their own interpretation of his dance piece. “There will always be ambiguity in understanding when working through dance,” he says.
While the dancing is obviously impressive the movements are less showy and technically demanding than in a traditional ballet or modern dance performance. Whitley seems less concerned with showing off his composition talents by putting his dancers through their paces. After all, if the simplicity of the movements lets the screen visuals do the work, Whitley is then free to concentrate on conveying his messages.
So, audiences with modern and adventurous tastes should enjoy the composition. But the big draw for many will be the “dancing” visuals more than the talented physical dancers themselves. As a more traditional dance fan, I think I will stick to Swan Lake. Regardless of different preferences, perhaps the most pressing question this experience leaves us with, however, extends beyond the stage and focuses on a new take on transhumanism or how the digital world will influence our life.
18. The author quotes Yuval Noah Harari’s question mainly to ________.
A. introduce the topic B. draw a comparison
C. support an argument D. make an assumption
19. What does the word “ambiguity” underlined in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Agreement. B. Disbelief. C. Uncertainty. D. Guidance.
20. What can we learn from this passage
A. It’s hard to unite the physical world and the digital world.
B. Motion capture translates the dancers’ moves into live visuals.
C. Modern and experimental performances attract more audiences.
D. Alexander Whitley favors technically demanding dance routines.
