Question

（重庆市西南师大附中2010届高三第七次月考B篇）

Alia Sabur from North NY US went to college at the age of 10. And by at the age of 14 Sabur was earning a bachelor of science degree in applied mathematics from stony Brook University – the youngest female in US history to do so. Her education continued at Drexel University where she earned an MS and a Phd.(博士学位) in materials science and engineering.

With an unlimited future ahead of her Sabur directed her first career choice to teaching. “I really enjoy teaching ” she said. She was three days short of her 19th birthday in February 2008 when she was hired to become a professor at Konkuk University in Seoul South Korea. This distinction(差异) made her the youngest college professor in history according to the Guinness Book of World Records beating the previous record held by Colin Maclaurin a student of physicist Isaac Newton in 1717.

Although she doesn’t start until next month Sabur has taken up teaching math and physics courses at Southern University in New Orleans. Sabur is old enough to teach but not to join her fellow professors in a bar after work. In South Korea where the drinking age is 20 she might have more luck. In traditional Korean culture children are considered to be 1 year old when they are born and add a year to their age every New Year instead of their actual birthday so in Korea Sabur is considered 20.

On top of her unprecedented(空前的) academic achievements Sabur has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do(跆拳道). She is also a talented clarinet(竖笛) player who has performed with musicians like Lang Lang and Smash Mouth. So is there anything Sabur can’t do?
