四、阅读理解

It’s not easy to find a job. Many jobs have age or experience requirements that you might not meet. On top of

that, you need to juggle(

应付

)schoolwork, extracurriculars, and your social life. Fortunately, there are still some

good jobs for you to start gaining working experience.

Tutor

Straight-A student? Then a job as a tutor(

家庭教师

)might be the best option for you. Helping younger

students with their homework is a great way to put what you’ve studied to good use and make some extra money.

One of the easiest ways to show that you’re qualified to teach other students is by listing your GPA(Grade Point

Average) on your tutor resume.

Dog Walker

Love dogs? Then a position as a dog walker is the perfect fit for you. Dog walking requires no work

experience and has flexible hours. However, you may need to do some shadowing or an interview before people

trust you with their pets.

Delivery Driver

If you’re 16+ years old and have a driver’s license, you could try working as a delivery driver. Driving is a

great way to gain relevant experience and show future employers that you’re responsible and work well under

pressure.

Call Center Representative

If you don’t mind talking on the phone, then a job as a call center worker is a good choice for you. Working as

a call center representative can even teach you some useful customer service skills that will help your career later

on. To land a job at a call center, highlight your customer service and interpersonal skills on your resume.

The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary

school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation

of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the

Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my

father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months,

we spent hours playing catch. Come fall, our backyard football games began with passing practice.

Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the

Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for

points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, accelerating my competitive fever. However, in

girls’ sports games at my school, I was no star. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team.

School sports did not bleed into the weekends, as they do today, but at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and

biking were simply normal things we did. During break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These

regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of

completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage,

when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.

So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness

focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is

the richest with my feet in both worlds.

Today, poetry and science are often considered to be mutually exclusive(

互相排斥

)career paths. But that

wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both

accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in

the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging(

再现

)among scientists as

they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.

“Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works

at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience,

Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those

outside of their immediate scientific field.

Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth’s workshops.

In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem,

which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members’ research projects. “It was a lot of fun,

and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do a disservice(

伤害

)to

ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon

says.

That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often

dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication

involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says.

Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate

complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says.

Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others.

The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully

really interesting things to say and to share.

Science Communication: A Two-way Dialogue

Jason, a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to describe

how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard — he or she spends a

long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of a lack of focus and

concentration, he or she’s doesn’t actually accomplish much.

This phenomenon can be seen on most college campuses. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of

the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day, and the students I used to see there late at night crowded in

groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. The roommate who flips through her chemistry notes on

the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.

By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are
