Emily wanted to see other people. Stuart had enjoyed a string of short-term relationships but realized that he needed more commitment. After years of uncertainty and making do, Fiona decided to follow her heart. Most found the decision emotional and stressful and felt guilty. Some worried that they were being superficial—but freely admitted they were leaving for the money.
The stress of ending their relationship with an academic research career was difficult for these young scientists and others. Most of them, after a while, realized that they had made the right decision. Still, a few later regretted what they decided had been a toohasty exit, and wanted to patch things up. Such is life.
【F1】
Most importantly, all these people believe that they have learned from the experience and want to help others—people like you—who might be experiencing or considering a break-up.
Their advice is the same as that offered by friends, family and advice columnists for centuries: if you’re not happy, then it’s not right.
【F2】
Produced by the Careers Research and Advisory Centre in Cambridge, UK, with help from others, the report What Do Research Staff Do Next? analyses survey responses of hundreds of former full-time academic researchers from across Europe who left to pursue other careers.
Forget the redundant cliches. These were no "failures" or people who "couldn’t cope with the pace". More than three-quarters of them had published as a principal author and one-fifth had published a paper in a high-impact journal. One-quarter had managed to secure a competitive grant.
Nor were they wide-eyed youngsters, rudely put in their place by the reality of the workplace. Most were in their thirties and almost one-third had a decade’s experience. 【F3】
They changed their minds for three main reasons: they wanted better long-term prospects, they wanted more job security and they were no longer prepared to be employed on short-term and fixed contracts.
In most cases, they got what they wanted. More than four in five were satisfied in their new jobs. Many had managed to stay in touch with science, and worked in a related function such as administration, outreach or publishing.
Science should wish them well.【F4】
As Nature has pointed out a regular flow of bright highly trained and scientifically literate workers heading into the wider world can only benefit society and science.
【F5】
It is time to normalize these sideways steps, and for universities, senior scientists and research funders to accept and embrace the different paths that young researchers choose to follow.
In most cases, the survey shows that these scientists were not forced out: they made an active choice to head elsewhere. And the outside world was delighted to have them.
【F3】
选项
答案
他们换工作主要是因为以下这三个原因:他们想要一份前景更远大的工作;他们希望工作更有保障;他们对短期和固定任期的科研聘用都不再感兴趣了。
解析
①本句是由冒号连接的并列句,冒号后是three main reasons的具体内容。在第一个原因they wanted better long-term prospects中,better long-term prospects在形容一份工作时,指的是这个工作有比较好的前景。②在第二个原因中,security表示“安全,保障”,job security指“工作稳定,不容易失业”(正如文章中提到的,科研人员很多是短期雇佣的,所以工作不太稳定)。③在第三个原因中,be no longer prepared to…表示“不再准备做……了”:short-term and fixed修饰contracts,意为“短期和固定任期的合同”;be employed on…contracts是英文常用的表达,这里可以理解为“受(公司)聘用”。
