8、backyard, Reeves developed a love for everything related to outer space, and the lab was a regular destination for school field trips. Even as a child, Reeves, now as an MIT senior, knew she wanted to work in the space industry. Her love of space was cultivated at home, too. At MIT, Reeves quickly f
9、ound her place in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (航空航天系).As a junior, Reeves was selected to participate in the GordonMIT Engineering Leadership Program. The program focuses on leadership for engineerspeople who may have high technical IQs but who may be not good at expressing themse
10、lves. Reeves holds the point that in industry, people have to communicate with other engineersto explain their ideas and fit into the organizational structure.In the second year of the program, students become coaches for the new students, which means a team coach observes, and instructs the younger
11、 group. So Reeves thinks its really the secondyear students who are guiding the firstyear students into how they can improve as leaders.Reeves has been with Women in Aerospace Engineering (WAE) since its beginning in her sophomore year. The group builds a community for women in all aspects of aerona
12、utics. Last month, Reeves helped organize the first WAE Day, an event for 18 high school girls in the Boston area to come to MIT to learn about aerospace engineering. Reeves says events like these are especially important for exposing young women to the possibilities of the field.Just as she says, “
13、Being a person who has gone into the aerospace industry and has seen the lack of women, there are often times when I am the only female in the room. I think its important for young women and girls to have role models, and just see that there are women doing it. I have met a lot of strong female role
14、 models for myself in industry. A lot of our events are open to men as well. We want to build a community of people who support women in aerospace.”21.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Reeves seldom visited JPL at an early age.B. Reeves became interested in space from childhood.C. Reeves

Teenager and adult beginners can also learn levels 1&2 in an off-road and quiet environment.Confident teenagers and

25、nded for?A. Bike riding lovers. B. Children and teenagers.C. Travelers in London. D. Parents loving cycling.CFood blogs, celebrities, and nutritionists all advocate the benefits of eating organic (有机的) fruits and vegetables. But a new study published in Science Advances paints a more complex picture
26、. While organic produce is likely slightly healthier to eat and, in some ways, more sustainable to grow, there are also downsides.Organic fruits and vegetables typically cost more than conventional ones. To get a certificate as organic, farmers must meet specific criteria, including growing produce
27、without the use of genetic engineering and chemical inputs. Without these methods, the growing process typically requires more labor, time, and money, a cost that is passed down to consumers.Its true that in many ways, organic is more sustainable than conventional farming. But when it comes to envir
28、onmental concerns such as greenhouse gas output and water loss, the comparison gets complex. Organic farms produce less greenhouse gas output per acre. However, because they are barred from using genetic engineering, pesticides (杀虫剂), and other methods that increase efficiency (效率), organic farms al
29、so produce an estimated 19% to 25% less yield than conventional farms. While there isnt a whole lot research on the topic, the few studies that do exist suggest green gas output and water loss might actually be higher on organic farms, on a per unit basis, says study author Verena Seurfert.In additi
30、on, while organic produce is likely more nutritious than conventional fruit and vegetables, theres not a lot of evidence to support the claim that these often slight differences influence consumer health. The same is true for pesticide remainder. In developed countries, where pesticide use is tightl
31、y regulated, theres no scientific consensus on how these often slight differences influence human health.Still, Seurfert stresses that if you can afford to eat organic, you should do so. Organic farms provide safer work environments for workers, plus they support great biodiversity. The real takeaway from her study is not that
