I am a Kid Reporter,Linda 、

Scott. I took part in the third yearly f 零

State of Science,Technology，

Engineering and Maths ( SoSTEM ) 滅i

event on Wednesday 21st January.

Before SoSTEM started,I interviewed Charles Bolden. He was an astronaut (宇航员) and has been to space four times. “I enjoy watching young people take their ideas and turn them into reality ,” he said.

Next I spoke to Dr. Ellen Stofan. She spoke about her lifelong interest in science. ⁴⁴When I was in the middle school,I knew I wanted to be a scientist,but I wasn’t sure what kind ,” she told me. As she grew up,she became interested in space. Her advice

to young people who want to become a scientist is to “follow your dreams”.

My third interview was with Megan Smith. She talked about encouraging more girls to step into STEM fields. She told me that women have always been part of amazing scientific discoveries,even though sometimes history records have left women out.

Finally,I interviewed Kathy Pham,who is working to improve health care for more Americans through IT services. I asked her advice for young people who want a career (耳只业) in computer science. She advised kids to join in groups working on science and technology and to read more books on the subject.

After the interview,we had a free talk. When I asked which technology careers were going to be most in need in the next 10 years,Dr. Stofan noted that careers having something to do with energy sources (能源) are certainly going to be needed.

My biggest take-away from the event was that the future holds many wonderful chances for people interested in STEM. Just as the computer scientist Kathy Pham said, “Whatever your love is—whether it's clothing,space or cars —today you can find a STEM field where you can do something you like. ”

2. C解析：事实细节题。第三段提到了 Dr. Ellen Stofan ,中学时的梦想是当科学家。

3. C解析:事实细节题。第五段提到了 Kathy Pham ,她对想从事计算机科学方面职业的孩子提出的建议是:多读相关书籍。

4. D解析:事实判断题。第二段提到Charles Bolden去过太空四次，所以排除A;第四段提到了 Megan Smith ,她鼓励更多女孩儿进入该领域，所以排除B;第一段提到了Linda Scott ,对应的时间是21st January ,所以排除C.D选项在最后一段中提到了。
