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 m 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(指望) 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 Infornmatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a plarmaceutical (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 usualIy 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 (多学科的) 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. \
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.\ 41. By \a one-way skeet\ (Para.1), the author means ____________. A. university researchers, know little about the commercial world B. there is little exchange between industry and academia
C. few university professors are willing to do industrial research D. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university.
42. The word \ most probably refers to something that _________ A. attracts people's attention B. helps to move the traffic
C. keeps someone from taking action
6
D. brings someone a financial burden
43. What was Helen Lee's major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?
A. Her research interests. B. Flexible work hours.
C. Her preference for the lifestyle on campus. D. Prospects of academic accomplishments.
44. Guy Grant chose to work as researcher at Cambridge in order to ___________ A. do financially more rewarding work B. exploit better intellectual opportunities C. enricb his experience in medical research D. raise his status in the academic world
45.What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university? A. Help it to obtain financial support from industry. B. Turn its research towards practical applications.
C. Increase its graduates' competitiveness in the job market.
D. Develop its students' potential in research.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are, and that it is the same with the challenges that come with friendship.
When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two choices. We can by to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn't worth the trouble and call it quits.
8
Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most cases all that is needed is commitment and communication .
When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to face it and work through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. If you can say to a friend, \my feelings hurt\ rather than \ou hurt my feelings\you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are: small hurdles you need to jump or get through on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger. It' s all part of growing up. It happens to everyone and some day you will look back on all of this and say, \ it made me who I am today. And that' s a good thing.\【写作内容】

Life is full of challenges. In my study, I always meet with new challenges. When I was in Senior One,used to fail in my math exams. This was a serious problem because math is a very important subject. However,I did not quit. I listened to the teacher attentively in class. I also bought some reference books and did as many exercises as I could. Besides, I turned to my teacher and classmates for help. In the end, after several months' hard work, I passed the final exam. Looking back on this, I realize that whatever challenges I am faced with, I will spare no effort and never give up. I' m sure to get final victories and become what I should be.
