Miss England, Jessica Gagen, is not the ordinary beauty pageant (选美) winner. She just earned an impressive title, rocket scientist.
The 27-year-old girl just graduated from the University of Liverpool with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and she has set her sights on being an astronaut. But winning her title just a few months before completing her degree was no easy task. She is the first rocket scientist to be crowned Miss England.
Gagen was able to balance between her competition and her schoolwork, but the stress of
doing both left her with chest pains and insomnia (失眠). However, she didn’t give up.
“The way to get to this point was a rocky five years in the making, and I faced challenges before I’d even begun,” Gagen told The Daily Mail. “I think it’s important that today’s youth know that sometimes things don’t go entirely as planned, and that’s perfectly OK.”
Before starting at the university, Gagen studied a year in physics while working at weekends because she didn’t have all the courses she needed for the program. She began studying at the university in 2019 and when the pandemic hit, all the coursework went online. She did this while working full time at night.
“I’d return home to do that day’s online lectures and homework and then stop at 8 pm to get ready for bed, before the cycle would repeat. I was constantly knackered, but I was a mature student and had bills to pay.”
During the course of her studies, Gagen saw that there were very few females in engineering and decided to make it her duty to promote careers in science for women and
girls on her social media. This idea led to her being scouted (物) for the Miss England contest. In 2022 Gagen was accepted into a Master’s program and she entered the Miss England pageant and won.
4．What did Gagen desire to do upon graduation?
A．Work as an engineer. B．Become a spacewoman.
C．Continue rocket research. D．Win a beauty contest.
5．What does Gagen want to convey in paragraph 4?
A．Plans do not change based on human will.
B．Today’s youth should perform perfectly.
C．Feeling a bit uncomfortable seems normal.
D．The youth should face the challenges bravely.
6．Why did Gagen work at night?
A．To support females. B．To enter the contest.
