Tu Youyou, born in 1930, is a Chinese medical scientist. She won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for finding out artemisinin (also known as Qinghaosu), which saved millions of lives. When Tu was a high school student, she became interested in both traditional Chinese medicine and modern western medicine. She kept her work in the1960s and1970s. In that age, Malaria (疟疾) could take away people's lives. Scientists all over the world had already tried over 240,000 times but failed. Tu Youyou, a member of the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, BeiJing, began to study Chinese herbs (药草).
Before 2011, people didn’t know Tu very much. Many friends played jokes on her “the Professor of Three None’s”: no high degree (学历), no study experience abroad, not a member of any Chinese national academies. But she is hard-working. She read a lot of traditional Chinese medicine books and did a lot of research.
In February, 2012, Tu was named “National Outstanding Females” (One of the Ten). Tu is now a model of Chinese medical workers.

Christian was a little lion. He was born in a zoo because his parents were zoo lions. When he was very little, people took him to a big shop in London. It was unusual to see little lions in shops, so people came from all over the world to see him.
One night, Christian got out of his cage (笼子) and made a big mess in the shop. After that, he was put up for sale. When Alice and John saw Christian, they bought him and took him home.
Christian lived with Alice and John. He made a good pet. He was very clever and very gentle. Alice and John took him on walks and played games with him. They even took him to the beach.
Christian grew too big for Alice and John to keep at home. It was hard to look after him. They spent a lot of money feeding him. Alice and John knew they couldn’t keep him as a pet forever. One day, Alice and John took Christian to Africa. He was never away from London. He never lived in a forest. It was a very different world.
After a year, Alice and John went to visit him in his new home. When Christian saw them, he jumped up on them. He put his paws (爪子) on their shoulders and licked (舔) their faces. He knew they were his friends.
This story happened a long time ago. No one could have a lion for a pet now. Alice and John were right to let Christian go free.

【推荐2】Last year, I worked as a young marketing person in a company. It was one of those busy days...management meetings, sale calls, planning my travels, booking hotels, and the list was endless. By the end of the day, I was not only tired but also angry with myself and everyone around me. It was at this time that Paul invited me to his house for a “chill out”.
Although tired, I was excited to chat with Paul and share and learn through his rich experience in marketing. As I entered through the main door to his house, Paul started singing a song: I have a dream, to help me through in everything…and so on. I was in no mood to listen to his song. I wanted to hear about how he dealt with sale calls.
As I was ready to tell him about just that, I was totally surprised at what I saw next. Two young girls, aged between 7 and 10, walked over to Paul from their bedrooms and hugged him. They couldn’t walk steadily, and neither could they talk properly. Their faces were full of smiles when they heard the song.
Curious to know, I asked Paul who these girls were. I knew that Paul lived in that house but I had never seen these girls. Paul explained, “I also have a dream to make these girls happy. They are my daughters and they were born as special children.” And he further added, “They don’t have a mother. My wife died when they were very young.” And he was both mother and father to these beautiful daughters.
I was moved to tears. In the office, no one knew what Paul was going through in his personal life. He never looked for any pity from his friends. In fact, he always helped us and encouraged us to move forward in life.
I finished my tea and made my way out, when Paul said to me, “All of us have dreams.”

【推荐3】Little John was sick. Doctors said he couldn’t live long. A clown (小丑) saw sad John and asked, “Do you know the heaven (天堂) for sick children?”
John said no. Then the clown gave him a bag. “You have to fill it with notes so you can buy your tickets. You cannot die before the bag is full,” the clown said.
“Notes? Sounds interesting, but they’re not useful,” John said.
“They’re special notes. You should write down every good thing you do on it. At night an angel (天使) will come to exchange (交换) the good ones for tickets to heaven,” the clown answered.
It seemed wonderful, so he decided to try. That same day, when John’s mother came to see him, he gave her the best smile. This made her mother happy. Then, he wrote down this and put it in the bag.
The next morning, John ran to see the bag. There was a real ticket to heaven! The ticket made John very excited, and he spent the rest of that day doing everything he knew to cheer up others.

Gabriel Garcia Márquez, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, passed away at the age of 86 on April 17, 2014. The world paused to remember the cultural giant.
Garcia Márquez was born in Colombia, but he spent most of his adult life in Mexico City. As one of the most famous writers, he was widely regarded as "a giant of 20th-century literature". Garcia Márquez wrote in a style called "magical realism". In such works, people live a daily life in a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile, magical things happen to them.
Garcia Márquez is best known for his 1967 novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, which has sold about 50 million copies. It tells the tale of the small and isolated town of Macondo which was separated from the outside world—of its founding and its troubled history over a hundred years. The story is a metaphor for the development of Colombia since the 19 century. As Colombian President Juan Manuel Santons said, Garcia Márquez wrote about "the very essence of the Latin American beings".
