3 . Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.
Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.

6 . Jennifer Toth, who survived cancer as a child, is now a nurse at the hospital that helped save her life.
Toth was diagnosed (诊断) with hepatoblastoma when she was just 2 years old. No signs showed that anything was wrong with Toth until early 1995 when her mother felt a lump on her stomach. Her parents took her to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where scans showed she had a tumor (肿瘤) the size of a softball on her liver.
Hepatoblastoma is a tumor that begins in the liver and is usually found in children up to three years old. It is a rare form of cancer, affecting fewer than one in a million children, according to St Jude Children's Research Hospital. The exact cause is unknown. The survival rate is 80 percent if the tumor does not spread, and it can be removed following chemotherapy (化疗). If the entire liver is affected, then patients may need a liver transplant.
Toth's tumor was too large to remove so she went through six months of chemotherapy first. Luckily, after a few years of treatment at Children's Hospital, Toth was declared cancer-free.
Later she was awarded a college scholarship for cancer survivors, spending four years at the University of Pennsylvania, where she earned a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing.
Now, Toth is working as a nurse at that very same hospital. She told Fox News that she doesn't hide the fact that she is a cancer survivor. “ I always thought that it would be amazing to come full circle and work at the same hospital where I had been a patient,” Toth said, “ I hope that my experience as a patient and a survivor shapes my nursing practice in a way that conveys (传递) deep sympathy and understanding.”
