Tu Youyou is awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine because she has discovered artemisinin,a crucial drug for malaria.In fact,artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria. After graduating from university,Tu Youyou worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.She
committed herself to the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria. She and her scientific research team tried to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease.They evaluated 280,000 plants and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments. Tu’s team tried boiling fresh wormwood,and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria,but this did not work.Tu Youyou wouldn’t
acknowledge defeat. She insisted on analysing the medical texts again and drew a conclusion that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical
properties. By using a lower temperature to draw out the extract,she discovered the effective substance. Artemisinin,like penicillin,has stood up to clinical tests,just as other products or devices can stand wear and tear.
屠呦呦获得了诺贝尔 生理学或医学奖,因为她发现了治疗疟疾的关键药物青蒿素。事实上,青蒿素已经成为疟疾治疗的重要组成部分。大学毕业后,屠呦呦在中国中医研究院工作。她致力于发现疟疾新疗法的目标。她和她的科研团队试图找到治疗这种疾病的传统植物疗法。他们评估了28 万种植物,并测试了380 种不同的古代中医疗法。屠的研究小组尝试将新鲜的青蒿 煮沸,然后用从中提取的液体治疗疟疾,但没有成功。屠呦呦不承认 失败。她坚持要再次分析医学文献,并得出结论,煮沸这种青蒿 显然破坏了它的医学特性。她用较低的温度获取提取物,发现了这种有效的物质。青蒿素和青霉素一样,经得起临床检验,就像其他产品或设备经得起磨损一样。
The difference between a novelist and a professor is that the former mostly
uses his extraordinary creative genius to inspire people’s passion by writing
novels,while the latter pays more attention to academic research. A politician wants to found his own theories and tries tocome to power. A scientist hopes to make
remarkable achievements and have more inventions and patents. Take Albert Einstein for example. He made numerous contributions to the world,the most well-known being the general theory of relativity and the famous formula E=mc 2. He earned a doctorate in physics in 1905 and gradually became famous as the new Isaac Newton. Circumstances changed in 1933,when Hitler came to power in Germany. Einstein,who was Jewish,found the doors of academic institutions closed to him. As a consequence,he had to flee Germany. He finally took up a position as a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton,USA. Einstein was not only a genius,but also a very gentle man. He had a thick moustache and long white hair. Despite his peculiarities,he was loved by his friends and neighbors whom he encountered. Now let’s complete this flow chart to infer his further achievements. You can also write a draft to sum up Einstein’s life.
小说家和教授的区别在于,前者大多是利用自己非凡的创作天赋,通过写小说来激发人们的热情,而后者则更注重学术研究。政治家想要建立自己的学说并试图掌权。科学家希望取得非凡的成就,拥有更多的发明和专利。以阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦为例。他为世界做出了许多贡献,最著名的是广义相对论和著名的公式E=mc2。他在1905 年获得了物理学博士学位,并逐渐以新艾萨克·牛顿而闻名。1933 年希特勒在德国上台后,情况发生了变化。(因为)爱因斯坦是犹太人,他发现学术机构的大门对他关闭了。结果,他不得不逃离德国。最终,他在美国普林斯顿高等研究院 担任研究员一职。爱因斯坦不仅是个天才,而且是个非常温和的人。他留着浓密的胡子和长长的白发。尽管他性格古怪,但是他相识的朋友和邻居都喜欢他。现在让我们完成这个流程图来推断他的进一步成就。你也可以写一份草稿来总结 爱因斯坦的一生。

The Person I Respect
There are many respectable people around us. As for me, it is Mrs Lucky, my English teacher, who deserves the most respect.
Honestly speaking, English was always beyond my grasp, and I often got stuck in English problems. However, under Lucky’s professional guidance, I have made unbelievable progress and even feel it an enjoyment to be exposed to her English classes. Furthermore, whenever I encounter difficulties, she never fails to cheer me up and help me out, which fuels my enthusiasm for life and promotes me to regain confidence. The most important is that her sense of responsibility makes everyone, including me, considerate, optimistic and reliable.
All in all, no words are strong enough to convey my respect for her. But for her help, I wouldn’t become what I am today.
