5．How to Succeed in Science
To succeed in science，you need a lot more than luck．In my view，you have to combine intelligence with a willingness not to follow conventions when they block your path forward．Thus，these have come to be my rules for success．
1．（36）EThat might sound proud，but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than yourself．It's like playing any game．Even as a child，I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was．If you win，it gives you no pleasure．And in the game of science or life，the highest goal isn't simply to win； it's to win at something really difficult．（37）C2．Take risks
To make a huge success，a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble．If you are going to make a huge jump in science，you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition．（38）GThis can be more than personally upsetting．
3．Never do anything that bores you．
My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things，and then leave you alone．I'm not good enough to do well in something I dislike．（39）FIt's very hard to succeed if you don't want to be with other scientists-you have to go to key meetings where you spot key facts that would have escaped you．And you have to chat with your competitors，even if you find them objectionable．
So my final rule is：（40）B
A．Meet challenges with great courage．
B．If you can't stand to be with your real peers，get out of science．
C．Put another way，it's to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top．
D．Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess．
E．Avoid foolish people．
F．In fact，I find it hard to do well in something I like．
G．Besides，you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes．
分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了如何在科学中获得成功，就此作者给出了几点建议．
解答 36．E．细节理解题，根据In my view，you have to combine intelligence with a willingness not to follow conventions when they block your path forward可知我们如果想要成功需要有智慧，避免愚蠢，故选E．
37．C．细节理解题，根据第二段And in the game of science or life，the highest goal isn't simply to win； it's to win at something really difficult可知在科学和生活的游戏中，最高的目标不是简单的取胜，而是赢得一些真正困难的事情，我们要超越自己的能力，故选C．
38．G．细节理解题，结构与第三段句首be prepared to呼应，句意上进一步说明科学家的困难，故选G．
39．F．细节理解题，根据前文I'm not good enough to do well in something I dislike可知作者不擅长做他不喜欢的事情，故选F．
40．B．细节理解题，根据前文And you have to chat with your competitors，even if you find them objectionable．So my final rule is．可知你必须和你的竞争对手聊天，即使你觉得你是不喜欢他们的，由此推知作者给出的建议是如果你不能忍受和你真正的同龄人在一起，那就远离科学，故选B．
点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
