Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He
moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends. My
earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and
family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him, as a school girl and young
adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s
and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I
went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an
outdoor café.
We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over
my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules.
Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around?
What had held him back before?
The next day，my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about 高中英语期中考试试卷

him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so
doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from
where he was.

WHAT are scientists? They are often described as gray- haired white-coated dull scholars.
But the world has changed. Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their
powers on the world stage.
This is also true in China. Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji, university
professor Liu Mingzhen, and biologist Wang Ruixue. At the age of 28 in 2018, Wan Ruixue
received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. This is a global prize to
reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.
She focuses mainly on biomedicine(生物医学)and artificial intelligence(人工智能). "Both
are cutting-edge( 前沿 )technologies at an early stage of development," she said. "So, I think
they have great potential to be developed. I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies, China
and other leading countries in the world are standing on the same starting line. And in the study of
structural biology, China is likely to become the leader."
