They asked Katherine Johnson for the moon,and she gave it to them.With little more than a pencil,a slide rule (計算尺) and one of the finest mathematical minds in the country,Mrs.Johnson,who died at 101 on Monday,calculated the precise track that would let Apollo 11 land on the moon in 1969 and,after Neil Armstrong's history- making moonwalk,let it return to Earth.
    Mrs.Johnson was one of several hundred strictly educated,supremely capable yet largely unrecognized women who,well before the modern feminist (男女平等主義者) movement,worked as NASA mathematicians.But it was not only her sex that kept her long unsung.For some years at midcentury,the black women were subjected to a double separation (隔離):They were kept separate from the much larger group of white women who in turn were separated from the agency's male mathematicians and engineers.
    Mrs.Johnson broke barriers at NASA.In old age,Mrs.Johnson became the most celebrated of the black women who served as mathematicians for the space agency.Their story was told in the 2016 Hollywood film Hidden Figures,which was nominated for three Oscars,including best picture.
    In 2017,NASA dedicated a building in her honor.That year,The Washington Post described her as "the most high-profile of the computers"- "computers" being the term originally used to describe Mrs.Johnson and her colleagues,much as "typewriters" were used in the 19th century to represent professional typists.
    She "helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space," NASA's administrator,Jim Bridenstine,said in a statement on Monday, "even as she made huge steps that also opened doors for women and people of color in the universal human quest to explore space."
As Mrs.Johnson herself was fond of saying,her term at Langley- from 1953 until her retirement in 1986- was "a time when computers wore skirts."

  • 1.Most smart phones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location.There are lots of great uses for this technology.(1)
    So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service,and pay attention to how you are using it.Here're some important points you may find helpful.
       Choose what's best for you.Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you've turned up at a particular spot.(2)
    Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting.Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location.
       Know who your friends are.(3)
    This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend.It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky,so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust.
       (4)
    Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time,but others will send it forever-until you stop it.Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location.
       Update parents.Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text.(5)
    If you're heading home late at night,you can also use a service like Glympse to share your location as you drive,so they'll know if you have car trouble or get stuck in traffic.

    B.Keep sending your location.
    C.However,these services are not for all children.
    D.With its help,you can easily share your location with them.
    E.Check-ins ease worries so they don't have to follow your every move.

  • 2.Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students,free periods (課、節(jié)) are useless.From what I have seen,few do homework. (1)
    .This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year,I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
       (2)
    .Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
       In my 8th grade,I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement;so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot,but I built mine incorrectly,so it broke in the kiln (窯). (3)
    .Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However,the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
       (4)
    !College is when we should focus on a specific major,but high school is when we have to figure it out.
       Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. (5)
    .

    A.Our school offers many classes
    B.We should find out what we are good at
    C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
    D.Instead,many are on their phones and talking
    E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
    F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
    G.The classes we choose can influence us in the future
