1. What makes women leave careers in science and engineering according to Jennifer Hunt ?

[材料题] For years ,researchers have struggled to understand why so many women leave careers in science and engineering .Theories run the gamut ( 整个范围） , from family-unfriendly work schedules to natural differences between the genders . A new paper by McGill University economist Jennifer Hunt offers another explanation : women leave such jobs when they feel disappointed about pay and the chance of promotion. To reach that conclusion , Hunt combed through data collected by the National Science Foundation in 1993 and 2003 on some 200,000 college graduates . Her first finding was that women actually don't leave jobs in science at an above average rate . The difference , Hunt found , comes from the engineering sector. That's not simply because women are exiting the workforce to raise families . About 21% of all graduates surveyed were working in a field unrelated to their highest college degree. That proportion held steady for both men and women . Yet in engineering , there was a gap ：about 10% of male engin
