The engineer's motto is: "Keep it simple and serious." But Dr. Arnold, though the fifth woman engineer in history to win the Nobel Prize, is somewhat 1. She always seems to meet something unexpected or have the talent to make things 2.
Here's a picture of a beaming President Obama, 3 her for winning the National Medal. That should have been a moment of 4. But you can never imagine what happened to her. The minibus that 5 the medal receivers should catch fire at the White House door. The bus filled with smoke, passengers within were gasping and crying and staggering toward the 6, the younger ones carrying the older ones — and all were greeted by a team of Secret Service agents, 7 aimed at the medalists' heads. They were amusingly 8 as terrorists. What a joke!
Another 9 story! When Dr. Arnold and her little son, landed in London, the border agent asked what brought them to the UK. Feeling very proud and hot-stuff, Dr. Arnold 10 she was going to a reception to meet the Queen. She then 11 shot her mouth off about her next award ceremony at the palace in Italy. The agent skeptically 12 her slightly disheveled (凌乱的) clothes and demanded the invitation letter. But she said it was in her suitcase. Without more 13, she, along with her son, was grabbed to the detention room (拘留室). They spent the next two and a half hours there 14 their story was verified (证实), and 15 made it to meet the Queen. Once again, the should-be 16 engineer was mistaken. Afterwards, she 17, "We should have been simple, sensed the environment and then respond." Her son replied, "Mom, next time why don't you keep your mouth 18."
See what the engineer has 19 ! Yes, indeed we can never tell one's experiences from their 20.
