Artemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of lives and has led to improved health for millions of people. Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year, and about 600,000 die from it.

Her team examined over 2, 000 old medical texts, and evaluated 280, 000 plants for their medical5. ________(property). From their research, they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria.
One medical text from the 4th century suggested using the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever. Tu’s team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect. They then tried boiling fresh wormwood, and using the liquid6. _______(obtain)from this to treat malaria, but this did not work7. ______. Their project got stuck. However, Tu Youyou would not acknowledge defeat. She analysed the medical texts again, and 8.____chance, she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood. She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical properties. Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a substance that worked. After failing more than 190 times, the team finally succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted 9.____ testing the medicine on themselves to make sure that it was safe. Later, the medicine was tested on malaria patients, most of 10.______recovered. This medicine，which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria.

There is a team behind me, and all the people of my country. This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine. It is indeed an honour for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.”
THE MAN WHO CHANGED OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE
Albert Einstein, 1.___ is perhaps the greatest scientist in modern physics，is often considered one of the smartest men who ever lived.He made2. ________(number)contributions to the world, the most well-known 3.____(be)the general theory of relativity and the famous formula E=mc2.Einstein was not only a genius; he was a 4.___________(courage)and kind figure loved by many people.

After two years of looking for work as a teacher, Einstein took a job as a clerk in the Swiss patent office. While working there,6. ________________(出于对知识的强烈热爱), he continued to study, earning a doctorate in physics in 1905.That same year, which was later recorded as a miracle year in science, he published four extraordinary physics papers.Following this, he gradually became famous throughout the world as the new Isaac Newton. After four years, he was able to quit his job at the patent office and enter research full-time at a university. In 1922, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his7. ________(explain) of the photoelectric effect.
