Finally the great day came. Helen went to the airport to meet her parents. The last time Helen saw her family was two years ago. At the airport, Helen gave her parents clothing, and her parents gave her the camera she wanted so much. She didn't lose any time and began to take pictures immediately.

　　Helen and her parents went sightseeing（观光）every day and visited many friends. Wherever they went, Helen took a picture. Toward the end of her parents' stay, Helen noticed that the film in the camera was up to number 39. With each picture, the number advanced--40, 41, 42, 43. She knew that the most film you can have in a camera is 36 pictures. Something was wrong. Maybe the film ripped. She immediately went to a camera store and told the salesperson（售货员）her problem.“Can you check my camera for me? The film keeps advancing. It's already on number 43. But please be careful. Don' t expose the film. I have pictures in there and I don't want to lose them.”

　　“I'll be careful,”promised the woman.

　　She went into the dark room to check the film. About five minutes later she came out laughing.

　　“What did you find?”asked Helen.

　　“Nothing,”replied the saleswoman.

　　“What do you mean by saying 'nothing' ?”questioned Helen.

　　“I mean exactly that! Nothing.”

(1) Helen liked taking pictures, ________.

[　　]

A．but she didn't know very well how to use a camera

B．and she knew very well how to use a camera

C．but she had little hope of having a camera

D．and she knew how to fix a camera

(2) The underlined word“ripped”here means“________”.

[　　]

(3)“I have pictures in there,”Helen said. She meant she had pictures ________.

It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial considerations.

　　Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.

　　The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.

　　Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”
