One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the class on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.
Then she told them to think of the 31 thing they could say about each of their 32 and write it down.
It took the remainder of the class period to finish their 33 , and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.
That Saturday the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a 34 sheet of paper, and 35 what everyone else had said about that 36 .
On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was 37 . “Really?” she heard whispers (耳语). “I 38 knew I meant anything to anyone!” and, “I didn’t know 39 liked me so much!” were most of the 40 .
That group of students 41 on. Several years later, one of the students, Mark, was killed in
The church was 42 his friends. After the funeral, Mark’s parents met the teacher. “We want to 43 you something, “Mark’s father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket.” They 44 this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might 45 it.”
Opening the wallet, he 46 removed two 47 pieces of notebook paper that had been folded and unfolded many times.
The teacher knew without looking 48 the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark’s classmates had 49 about him.
“Thank you so much for doing that,” Mark’s mother said. “As you can see, Mark 50 it.”

I don’t want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (controlled) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space, time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens (镜片) of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations (挑衅) : I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
