But his opinions never fluttered or drooped: he was as impartial to cities, countries and continents as the wi

37、 deal.(3)Moody s said the government appeared to be pursuing objectives pointing towards a hard exit and said growth prospects over the medium term could be "materially weaker" if the U. K. fails to sign a trade deal allowing access to the single market. Kathrin Muehlbronner, a senior vice

38、 president at Moody's, said: "The likelihood of an abrupt and damaging exitwith no agreement and reversion to World Trade Organization trading rules has increased compared to our expectation after the referendum, with the government so far pursuing objectives that imply a hard exit. "(

39、4)Weaker public finances could lead to a "further delay in reversing the rising tend of public debt", the agency warned in a report. However, it said the Bank of England s credibility should ensure financial stability, with exchange rate flexibility giving support for exports.(5)Another ra

If they dodge overt problems like sexual harassment, sexist jokes, or poor treatment from professors, they often still have to evade subtler obstacles like the implicit tendency to see engineering as a male discipline.

They were less likely to drop out of their courses, and keener to look for engineering jobs after they graduated. "Often, science is messy and things don t turn out neatly," Dasgupta says. But in this study, "it was very gratifying how
