Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Born on Oct. 17, 1956, in Decatur, Ala., and raised in Chicago, Jemison was a hard-working child, spending hours in the school library reading about astronomy and other sciences. Her parents — a carpenter father and a teacher mother — encouraged her curiosity, even allowing her to study pus (膿) when she got an infection from a splinter (碎片).
“It sounds a little sickening, but I was fascinated with pus,” Jemison said during a 1996 interview with Stafford Today.” I ran and showed it to my mother and she was telling me it was pus. And I ended up doing this whole project, reading about pus.”
This desire to learn about nature and how it all fits together eventually led her to pursue a degree in chemical engineering from Stanford University, which she started at 16 years old in 1973. By 1981, Jemison had her Doctor of Medicine Degree from Cornel Medical College.
It wasn’t until 1992, however, that another childhood desire was achieved: she launched into orbit above the earth aboard the space shuttle Endeavour. She was so determined, in fact, that even though her first application to NASA was turned down in 1983, she reapplied in 1987. After being selected for the astronaut program upon her second try, she was assigned to launch support activities at the Kennedy Space Center, Fla.
After working on the ground for five years, Jemison was finally sent into space as the science mission specialist on STS-47 Spacelab-J mission from Sept. 12-20, 1992.
The mission made Jemison not only the first African American woman accepted to the astronaut training program, but also the first to travel in space. She highlighted this fact, according to Doris L. Rich, the biographer of Bessie Coleman, by bringing a photo of Coleman with her into space. Coleman was the first African-American woman to fly an airplane in the U.S.
