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.”
【小题1】By “a one-way street” (Line 1, Para. 1), the author means ________.

A.university researchers know little about the commercial world
B.there is little exchange between industry and academia

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route.He replied, “You mean fortunately.”He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.

    My attitude to the hill has now changed.I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following.This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will help me to lose weight and get fit.It will mean that I live longer.This hill is my friend.Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free.I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.

Problems are there to be faced and overcome.We cannot achieve anything with an easy life.Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree.Her activism and writing proved inspirational.She wrote,“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened,vision cleared,ambition inspired and success achieved.”   

   One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity(逆境).From time to time we all face hardships,problems.accidents、afflictions and difficulties.Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own.While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.

Douglas Bader was 21 when in 193l he had both legs cut off following a flying accident.He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans.He was an inspiration to others during the war.He said, “Don't listen to any-one who tells you that you can’t do this or that.That's nonsense.Make up your mind,you'll never use crutches(拐杖)or a stick,then have a go at everything.Go to school,join in all the games you can.Go anywhere you want to.But never,never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”

    The biographies(传记)of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced.The common thread is that they did not become depressed.They chose their attitude.They chose to be positive.They took on the challenge.They won.

Nevertheless.there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.

1.Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?

A.Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise.

B.People are silly to pay to go to the gym.

C.Those who want to achieve success can't expect to live all easy life.

D.People's attitude towards adversity is the only factor that determines whether they will succeed.

2.By quoting what Douglas Bader said,the author intends to tell us“             .”

A.Failure is the mother of Success.   

B.A fall into the pit,a gain in your wit.

C.If you venture nothing,you will have nothing. 

D.Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.

3.Following this passage,the author will further talk about         .

A.how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he faced

B.what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you face

C.what great people have in common[来源:Z+xx+k.Com]

D.why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversity

4.Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?

A.Face adversity with a smile           B.Different attitudes towards adversity

C.Nothing is impossible               D.Life is full of adversity
