How to become a scientist

Be curious. Scientists choose to become scientists because they are

curious about the world around them and how the things in it work.

This curiosity leads them to investigate the how and why behind what

they see.

1 Becoming a scientist takes a long time. There are very few

careers that take longer than this one. Even when you're doing with

your education, you still have to get research under your belt. If you're

an instant-gratification（即时满足）type of person, this may not be the

right career for you.

Be diligent and persevere. It's been said that jobs in science are the

lowest paid in the US. What this is getting at is that because of the long

path to success, for a while you won' t be living lavishly（丰富地）. 2

Have the need to always keep learning. 3 Whether It's

reading peer-reviewed journals, attending seminars, or working toward

getting yourself published, you'll always be learning.

4 In those years of waiting for results, you need to constantly

be looking for the smallest changes in what you expect to see. Your eye

needs to be focused and ready at all times.

Think differently. Think back to Newton ' s apple falling on his head

or Archimedes' jumping into his tub and displacing water. Most people

would think nothing of these events, but these men saw something

else, something no one else was seeing at the time. 5

A. Observation skills are also necessary.

B. Be patient in climbing the career ladder.

C. Things are going to be tough for a while.

D. Then you' re probably made of the right stuff.

E. As the saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”

F. Actually what every scientist does is seek out know ledge.

G. To make progress in human know ledge, you have to think

differently.

解析：本文是说明文。文章就如何成为科学家提供了几点建议。如：要有好奇心要有耐心；要勤奋并持之以恒等。

1.B根据“要成为科学家需要很长的时间”可知，B项“攀登事业阶梯要有耐心”可作为本段的小标题。

2.C上文提到“这是因为在通往成功的漫长道路上，有一段时间，你不会过着奢华的生活”。由此可知,有一段时间情况可能很艰难，C项符合语境。

3.F本段的小标题 是“要不断的学习”。F项“实际上每个科学家所做的都是寻知识”与标题语意相符。

4.A根据下文的“在等待结果的那些年里,你需要不断地寻你期望看到的最小的变化”可知,当科学家观察的技巧是必要的，所以用A项作小标题。

5.G本段的小标题是“要有不同的思维方式”。G项“要想在人类知识上取得进步，你必须有不同的思维方式”可与标题相呼应。
