　　An ichthyologist is a scientist who studies fish．Most people who do this job say they love their work because it is very rewarding and varied．They work not only inside a laboratory, but also out in the field．Fieldwork includes traveling to rivers, oceans and lakes in order to collect information and specimens(样本)．Reading, writing and speaking are also very important to the job．Fish scientists need to read the research of other scientists．They must be able to write up their own research clearly so that others can follow it．They also need to be able to give lectures about their findings, so that they can spread knowledge．

　　Ichthyologists who wish to specialize can choose any one of three areas of study．The first area is aquaculture(水产养殖)．This involves the study and practice of fish farming and management．Because it is a rather new study, there are very few job opportunities available．However, as there is so much to discover, many see it as an exciting area for a new ichthyologist to enter．The second area is fisheries science, which means working with a team of scientist to find out more about different fish species．The third area is about the protection of natural fish populations．This is very important today, given that many fish species are in danger of dying out because of the actions of humans．

　　To become a successful fish scientist, you need to have a curious mind and be able to work on your own．You also need to be able to handle equipment and perform experiments; but most importantly, you must love fish．To become an ichthyologist, you will need to train at a university to pass a Bachelor of Science degree．For this, you will need to be good at mathematics, physical science and biology．Then, you will need to study for another year to complete an honors degree in ichthyology．This honors degree contains coursework about all aspects of fish．You also need to complete a research paper．

The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone．Enter the Red Hat Society －a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun．

“My grandmothers didn’t do anything but keep house and serve everybody．They were programmed to do that,” said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society．

While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age．But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents’ way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old．

If you take into consideration feminism(女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的)．In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing．

“The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple．With a red hat which doesn’t go,” said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998．When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention．

“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,” Cooper saiD．“Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves．” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful．“We’re a ladies’ play group．It couldn’t be more simple,” added Cooper’s assistant Joe Heywood．

56．The underlined word “chapter” in paragraph 2 means __________．

         A．one branch of an organization  B．a written agreement of a club

         C．one part of a collection of poems     D．a period in a society’s history

57．From the text , we know that the “baby boomers” are a group of people who       ．

         A．have gradually become more noticeable         

         B．are worried about getting old too quickly 

         C．are enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spend

         D．tried living a different life from their parents when they were young

58．It could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are         ．

         A．interested in raising money for social work    

         B．programmers who can plan well for their future

         C．believers in equality between men and women

         D．good at cooking big meals and taking care of others

59．Who set up the Red Hat Society ?

         A．Emily Cornette．       B．Ellen Cooper． 

         C．Jenny Joseph．          D．Joe Heywood．
