问题    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.
【F5】
选项
答案是时候把科研人员转行从事其他职业看作是件很正常的事了。大学、年长的科学家和科研活动赞助者都应该接受和支持年轻科研人员去尝试其他职业。
解析 ①本句是复合句，主句使用了It’s time(for sb．)to do sth．的结构，表示“某人是时候做某事了”。②sideways表示“向一旁的”，词组take a step sideways是常见搭配，表示“向旁边跨一步”。此句中的sideways steps比喻“科研人员选择其他职业”。③修饰scientists的senior既有“高级”，也有“年长”的意思，结合后面说的young researchers，这里senior scientists应该指“年长的科学家”。④funders指“提供资金的人、机构”；embrace意思为“拥抱”，引申义为“接受、接纳”。⑤that引导定语从句修饰the different paths。
