17、, Engineering and Math (SoSTEM) event on Wednesday January 21. Before SoSTEM started, I interviewed Charles Bolden. He was an astronaut(宇航员) and has been to space four times. “I enjoy watching young people take their ideas and turn them into reality,” he said. Next I spoke to Dr. Ellen Stofan. She s

18、poke about her lifelong interest in science. “When I was in the middle school, I knew I wanted to be a scientist, but I wasnt sure what kind,” she told me. As she grew up, she became interested in space. Her advice to young people who want to became a scientist is to “follow your dreams”. My third i

19、nterview was with Megan Smith. She talked about encouraging more girls to step into STEM fields.

21、hnology careers were going to be most in need in the next 10 years, Dr. Stofan noted that careers having something to do with energy sources(能源) are certainly going to be needed.

24、e?A. Charles Bolden has never been to space.B. Megan Smith encouraged boys to step into STEM fields.C. Linda Scott attended the event on January 25.D. There will be many chances for people interested in STEM.CWe all know that zebras have stripes(条纹). But why? Its hard to get a black-and white answer

25、. This is a question not just common people like us have asked, but scientists too. Several studies have been done to find out the reason behind the stripes and many theories(理论) have been suggested. According to a recent study, the type of stripes changes depending on the temperature where zebras l

26、ive. The warmer the place is, the more stripes they may have. From this study, scientists believe that stripes may help to keep a zebra cool in warmer places. According to the cooler temperature theory, when air hits a zebra, the movements of air are stronger and faster over the black parts and slow

27、er over the white. This is because black color takes in more heat than white. So at the point where the black and white meet, there is cooling airflow. It can quickly cool a zebras skin! In fact, scientists have noticed that heavily striped zebras have 5.4 F lower skin temperature than other animals

28、 without stripes in the same area. Some scientists believe that stripes may be an adaptation(适应) by zebras to defend (防卫) themselves from the horseflies that follow zebras. The cooler temperature theory holds merit here too, since disease-carrying flies like it hot. Flies also dont like landing on s

29、triped surfaces. There also have been many other theories that have been suggested for why zebras have stripes. Some explanations are very common. One of them is that stripes may help zebras hide in grass especially from lions. Lions are color blind and even if they are not far away they may see str

30、ipes as grey and be confused by them. Whats more, zebras are a large group of animals living together. When a number of zebras stand or move together, stripes may confuse lions into thinking it is one large animal.48. Stripes are helpful for zebras to _.A. stay cool B. move togetherC. live in cold p
