　　练习：
I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There waas a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes… .

　　A. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
　　B. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.
　　C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
　　D. She finds space research more important.
