3 . An 89-year-old man from the American state of Rhode Island has reached a goal he spent 20 years working toward and nearly a lifetime thinking about. He earned his Ph, D. and became a physicist.

Manfred Steiner successfully passed his paper recently at Brown University in Providence. Steiner values this degree because it is what he always wanted, and because he overcame health problems that could have affected his studies to get it.

As a young person in Vienna, Austria, Steiner wanted to become a physicist after reading about Albert Einstein. But after World War I, his mother and uncle told him that studying medicine would be a better choice. He earned his medical degree in 1955 and moved to the United States soon after. In America, he had a wonderful career studying blood. Then he became a full professor and led the hematology (血液学) department at Brown’s medical school from 1985 to 1994. Steiner helped set up, a research program in hematology at the University of North Carolina. He directed that program until he retired from medicine in 2000 and returned to Rhode Island.

Steiner found medical research pleasing, but it was not quite the same as his interest in physics. At age 70, he started taking undergraduate classes. He was planning to just take a few classes that interested him. But by 2007, he had managed to join the doctoral program.

Physics professor Brad Marston was surprised when Steiner entered his class. But the professor soon realized how serious Steiner was about the subject and how hard he worked. “He has written many papers in medical science, more papers than I’ve written in physics. He already had a scientific way of thinking that younger students have to develop,” Marston said. Steiner now hopes to help the professors he befriended during his studies with their research.

A．He left the United States.

B．He began to dislike medicine.

C．His physical condition was bad.

D．He was always supported by his mother.

Albert Einstein, the genius behind the theory of relativity, has     1     (recent) been making headlines again.     2    , this time it is not for a new scientific breakthrough, but for a handwritten note he gave a messenger 95 years ago.

In October 1922, Einstein was delivering a series of     3     (lecture) in Japan when he received a telegram     4     (inform) him that he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. Though pleased with the news, the Nobel winner decided to continue with his Japanese trip instead of heading to Stockholm to accept the honor.

While in Tokyo, he wrote a note in German, saying, “A quiet and peaceful life will bring more happiness     5     the pursuit of success…” Perhaps he had no loose change to tip a messenger     6     came to deliver the message, so he gave him the note, and told him, “Maybe if you are     7     (luck), the note will become more valuable than just a regular tip.”

Earlier this year, the messenger’s nephew decided     8     (hand) it to Jerusalem-based Winner’s Auctions (拍卖) and Exhibitions. The note     9     (put) up for auction, which might bring the     10     (own) a surprising $1.56 million from a European buyer. It was a record for an auction of a document in Israel and the wild-haired scientist deserved it.

8 . Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities (设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military Medal by the French government.

In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity (辐射能). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.

1. Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?

A．Because she received a degree in mathematics.

B．Because she contributed to saving the wounded.

Dr. Zhong Nanshan is one of the famous medical scientist in the 21st century. After graduating from high school, he entered into Beijing Medical College in 1960. In the first Chinese National Games, he sets up a National record of the men’s 400m Hurdles.

In spring of 2003, Zhong Nanshan took an active part in the battle against SARS. At that time, most people had no naturally defenses against the disease. Dangerous although it was, he worked hard day and night treated the patients. Through their hard work, Zhong Nanshan and our workmates achieved remarkable results. Soon the SARS epidemic was stopping.

Zhong Nanshan, that has been working in the medical field for over 60 years, is respected by all the people in China.
