Added to clothing, the material protects security officers and soldiers across the world. From childhood, she wanted to be a doctor. Today, thousands of people

18、 are glad that Stephanie Kwolek became a research chemist. In that job, she developed the first liquid crystal polymer. The polymer was a chemical product that formed the basis for Kevlar.

19、she studied chemistry and other sciences at a Pennsylvania college now known as Carnegie Mellon University. She got a job with the DuPont chemical company in 1946.

21、istant fibers for the job. Her experiments for the project were supposed to produce a clear substance similar to a thick syrup. Instead, what Stephanie Kwolek produced was unexpected. It was a liquid that looked cloudy or milky. She said she might have thrown it out. But she decided to let it sit fo

22、r awhile. The process calls for the chemical to be pushed through the small holes of a spinneret. She remembers that her team member operating the device at first refused to accept her material. He probably suspected it had solid particles that would block the holes. However, after awhile he said he

23、 would try it. That person must have been surprised when the substance passed the test. Ms. Kwolek did not tell anyone that she had produced something new and strong. She said she was afraid there might have been a mistake. Repeated testing, however, did not find anything wrong. DuPont first manufac

27、eB. following time orderC. following place orderD. comparing different opinions 2"Clothes-swapping" has become an increasingly popular activity for women in the United States. The women can give away unwanted clothing at a clothes swap event and get something different in return. Clothes s

28、wapping lovers are now using social media to help publicize such events. VOA's Michael Lipin went to one recent gathering in northern Virginia. Christopher Cruise has his report.About 300 women went to the clothes swap at a high school in Springfield, Virginia. It was the largest crowd ever for

29、the area's popular clothing-swap group. "Good brands here though, God, they're good brands. I mean, this is a J. Crew sweater!" The women bring to shirts, dresses and other clothing they no longer want. In return, they can take home almost anything they like. Ashley Moore was havin

31、keep the Earth green, there's no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what's already here. Give it a new home - you know, let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love." Kim Pratt organized the clothing-swapping event in Springfield. S

32、he also organized a money-raising activity for the high school's debate team. It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes. Another is by donating all of the "un-swapped" clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence. "I started doing this myself fou

33、r years ago, and we've been doing it for four years, getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap." She used the social media website to help publicize the events. The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300. Ms. Pratt says most of the members respect clothing swap

34、rules. But she says competition for desirable fashion can be strong. "We have to tell people sometimes not to hover over the new people coming in with their clothing. As they put it out, some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a free-for-all. We try to av
