阅读理解     University of New South Wales has launched its new 12-month Women in Maths & Science Champions Program designed to give women the skills and confidence to build their public recognition and set up a connected network of women in maths and science. The first group of 30 female PhD students started in August this year, and the second group of 19 early- career researchers was formally announced yesterday.     Over the 12 months, the champions complete at least 20 hours of related activities as part of a community of representatives who will influence and inspire women to pursue a career in maths and science. The activities are varied, ranging from visiting schools and conducting science presentations, to attending conferences and creating content for social media. At the end of the program, PhD champions have the chance to apply everything they've learned to the Postgraduate Research Competition. Above all, participating is a requirement for program completion.     Rose O'Dea, a member of the first group, is a PhD candidate at the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. She said, "I'm excited about the opportunity to work with school children. I hope to inspire some girls so they see not all scientists are older men in lab coals and that science is quite diverse and means different things depending on who you are."     Dr. Mariana Mayer Pinto is an early-career researcher at the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, where she mainly works with marine (海洋的) ecologists. She is originally from Brazil and said that being a woman from a developing country meant she knew the struggles that lack of role models can create. "You can't be what you can't see! I always have the hope that I can change the world bit by bit, and if one little girl says she can become a scientist because I talked to them, that'd be awesome, and that would make everything worth it." （1） What is the program intended to do? A . Test female PhD's learning results. B . Promote the equality of men and women. C . Set up an organization for women scientists. D . Improve women's participation in math and science. （2） What is required if a participant want to complete the program? A . To persuade as least one female to take up science. B . To participate in at least 20 hours of related activities. C . To apply what they have learnt to their graduation paper. D . To work as a representative to give presentations. （3） What does Rose O'Dea think about science? A . Varied. B . Inspiring. C . Unchangeable. D . Exciting. （4） What's the purpose of the last paragraph? A . To share how family background matters. B . To show the overall results of this program. C . To add an example of how a participant feels.
