5．I would recommend uVolunteer Programs in Costa Rica（哥斯达黎加） to anyone Everyone can learn something and enjoy their time here if they have the ability to adapt to different circumstances and a sense of adventure．
I came to San Ramon---the capital of Costa Rica，hardly knowing any Spanish，so the first thing I did there was to take Spanish courses at Spanish Language School for a week．My family stay was also of great help to my language study，but that experience with the classes gave me a huge jumpstart on the language，which has been extremely valuable．
Once in San Ramon，I was fortunate enough to experience several projects with amazing people．I taught Adult English Night Classes，helped at an elementary school，and also went to the Community Center in Bajo．The adult classes are just so awesome because it can be really engaging，social，and fun while being educational．We all learned a lot from each other and became pretty close．The Sabana School was a nice elementary school right by the dorm．The kids were so incredibly nice，even giving me lots of hugs and small gifts．I came at a time when there were many holiday celebrations so there were some scheduling challenges，resulting in me being there to assist English classes a couple of hours in the morning．I decided to go to Bajo in the afternoons．I，like all of the other volunteers，absolutely loved it．This is a place where I felt I was really helping in a more significant way．The kids started to open up more to me the more I was there playing with the kids and helping with the educational programs．The staff and kids are just incredible．
Aside from work，we decided on some weekend trips．By the end of my stay I had experienced hot volcanic springs in La Fortuna，snorkeling and hiking with incredible wildlife in Puerto Viejo，caving in Nicaragua，and kayaking and night fishing （we ate the fish too） in Playa Hermosa．I also enjoyed dancing，eating，and watching performances during the San Ramon festivals．

9．I don't ever 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 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，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 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（刺激）：I don't talk about that anymore．It took me 10years to get back the confidence I had at 19and 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．
I research and teach at Barnard，a women's college in New York City．Recently，someone asked me how many of the 45students 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 45women driven by a love of science．And that's a sight worth talking about．

B．She is not good at telling stories of the kind．
C．She is fed up with the issue of gender prejudice．
