                                        A 

          Our tiny boat was ploughing through(費(fèi)力穿過(guò)) the waves across the Indian Ocean and I was absolutely freezing. The further we got from the shelter of the land,the more I thought how foolish I'd been to come along on this trip.

          The pilot of the boat looked almost 60 but,perhaps because of a lifetime on the open sea in the hot sun,was very fit and strbng. I was wondering how he managed to find his way. To me,it seemed difficult enough to navigate a boat without any electronic equipment even on a sunny day.

           So at least we were safe. But this was not what we had come along for. A look at the other diversfaces suggested that now they were also doubtflil that we'd ever get the chancy to see a whale shark — these weather conditions were totally unsuitable for diving!None of us spoke. It seemed too much of an effort. Then suddenly the boatman stopped the engine. He said a few words in his own language to the diving instructor,who immediately jumped up from his seat and told us to get ready to dive.

           When I jumped into the grey sea,I was sure I wouldn’t  see anything. But then …there it was!An enormous whale shark,slowly swimming  through the water. I couldn,t believe my eyes — my first whale shark!I hardly dared breathe — I was afraid my streams of bubbles(氣泡) might scare the huge creature away. And the other divers were equally awed. Slowly we approached this huge animal. It was swimming quite slowly and we were able to swim with it,looking at the beautiful markings on its back. I was still holding my breath,telling myself that this huge fish was harmless!Then I reached out and touched it'stroking (輕撫) its thick skin. It was amazing how this giant suddenly gained speed — we watched it as it swam away from us,and a few moments later it was gone.

Dear Editor,

          Please publish more articles about women scientists. Women scientists have made outstanding contributions to the world. These women make excellent role models. More young women may choose science as a profession if women read featured articles on female scientists like Marie Curie and Rachel -Carson. Both women were encouraged to study science,and they both accomplished great things.

          With her father,s encouragement,Marie Curie made the world a better place through her scientific accomplishments. She studied the emission(放射) gf rays from uranium(鈾) ,a feature she called “radioactivity(放射性) .” Later,Curie and her husband,also a scientist,processed the mineral pitchblende before separating two radioactive elements(元素). With this discovery,Marie Curie earned her doctorate,and shortly thereafter,both she and her husband were awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize in physics. In 1911 Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for her work with the newly discovered elements; this work laid the foundation for X-rays and atomic physics.

           When Rachel Carson was young,her mother encouraged her to study nature. As an adult,she became known as the mother of the modem environmental movement. After studying marine biology and zoology in college,Carson worked as2.government scientist End wrote several books on how all living things relate to each other. In 1951 her book The Sea Around Us made scientific knowledge about the sea accessible to the general reader and remained on the best-seller list for eighty-six weeks. In 1962 Carson wrote Silent Spring,a book that helped lead to improvements in the use of chemical pesticides (農(nóng)藥) .

           Humans have benefited greatly from the work of Marie Curie and Rachel Carson. What if these women had not been encouraged to become scientists? I believe that we need to encourage young women to enter the field of science. With that goal in mind,I sincerely hope your magazine can publish more articles about the contributions that women make to science.

                               Sincerely,

                               Annie Bastien,Grade 7

                               Capistrano Middle School
