Tu Youyou has become the first female scientist of the People's Republic of China to receive a Nobel Prize, awarded for her contribution to the fight against malaria, one of the deadliest diseases in human history. Thanks to her discovery of qinghaosu, malaria patients all over the world now have had a greatly increased chance of survival.
In the 1960s, many people were dying of malaria, and in 1969 Tu became head of a team that intended to find a cure for the disease. She collected over 2,000 traditional Chinese medical recipes for malaria treatment and made hundreds of extracts from different herbs. On 4 October 1971, after 190 failures, she succeeded in making qinghao extract that could treat malaria in mice.
However, it was hard to produce enough qinghao extract for large trials because research resources were limited.Tu and her team managed to find solutions to the problem.When there was no research equipment, they had to extract herbs using household water containers. They worked day and night and their health began to suffer because of the poor conditions, but they never gave up.
Even with large amounts of qinghao extract produced, however, they still faced another problem.The trials on patients were likely to be postponed because they did not have sufficient safety data. To speed up the process and ensure its safety, Tu and her team volunteered to test qinghao extract on themselves first.
The efforts of Tu and her team finally paid off. In November 1972, through trial and error, they successfully discovered qinghaosu — the most effective part of the qinghao extract. As a key part of many malaria medicines, qinghaosu has since benefited about 200 million malaria patients.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
On the first day of fourth grade, my teacher, Mrs Brown, told my class a story about her husband Rob, who is a brain cancer survivor. After what Mrs Brown experienced with Rob's illness, she decided to devote part of her life to an organization called Be Head Strong, which works to support families with a member suffering from brain cancer.
Along with typical maths and science, throughout the year, Mrs Brown shared stories with us about people in Be Head Strong who had overcome some tough and unfair battles. Mrs Brown never showed any sadness or confusion toward the disease. She instead spoke only with words of determination to find a cure.Whether news from Be Head Strong was good or bad, she always looked at the situation as an opportunity to improve and do more.
My parents taught me from a very young age that making wise choices with my money is important. I would always set aside most of my $2.50-a-week allowance. By the end of the school year, I had saved over one hundred dollars, $131.30 to be exact.One day, I was wondering what to do with it. I did not feel like any game or toy was worth the money I had spent much time saving. I thought about the stories Mrs Brown told us, then I decided that was where I wanted my money to go.
As the last day of school approached, my mom helped me wrap the heart-shaped box full of dollars and coins.After all the other kids had left on the last day of school, I handed Mrs Brown the present. As she opened it, I told her that I wanted the money to go to Be Head Strong to help people like Rob.She burst into tears and hugged me tightly.
People may not always realize how big an influence one kind gesture can make. One teacher encouraged a decision in my life that has changed the way I live.

B
In 2009, Dan Black was hit by a car in his hometown of Chepstow, Wales, as he was biking to his job at a grocery store. The accident left him unable to move from the chest down. During his recovery, he suffered from a stroke (中风) that made his right arm useless. Once a promising guitarist, Dan, lives with his parents and requires around-the-clock care that costs nearly $300,000 a year. After the accident,
a friend of his started the Help Dan Black Fund to cover some of Dan's medical expenses. Dan learned about an experimental stem cell (干细胞) treatment in China that could enable him to walk again. After four years, donations to help Dan Black totaled $30,000.
One day, in 2013, a news story caught the eye of Dan's mother, Michaela, who then shared the story with her son. The story featured a five-year-old boy named Brecon Vaughan. He had a rare form of disease and never walked by himself. The boy's family had created a website — the Vaughan website to collect $100,000 needed for the treatment in the St.Louis Children's Hospital, which could help Brecon walk. However, only half the amount had been raised, said the report.
Then, after considering that his own dream of walking could be years away, he donated his $30,000 to Brecon's cause. “I know how it feels to walk.Brecon doesn't. He needs it much more than I do，” Dan told a newspaper. Dan's generosity received a great deal of attention, and contributions started pouring into the Vaughan website.
Finally, the family soon went beyond their fund-raising goal. They've promised to give the extra funds to the Tree of Hope charity, which helps sick children in the United Kingdom find specialized medical help. In October, Brecon and his family travelled to St.Louis to begin the treatment. “What Dan did is great，” Brecon's mother said. “It is an extraordinary gift.”

A
On the first day of fourth grade, my teacher, Mrs Brown, told my class a story about her husband Rob, who is a brain cancer survivor. After what Mrs Brown experienced with Rob's illness, she decided to devote part of her life to an organization called Be Head Strong, which works to support families with a member suffering from brain cancer.
Along with typical maths and science, throughout the year, Mrs Brown shared stories with us about people in Be Head Strong who had overcome some tough and unfair battles. Mrs Brown never showed any sadness or confusion toward the disease. She instead spoke only with words of determination to find a cure.Whether news from Be Head Strong was good or bad, she always looked at the situation as an opportunity to improve and do more.
My parents taught me from a very young age that making wise choices with my money is important. I would always set aside most of my $2.50-a-week allowance. By the end of the school year, I had saved over one hundred dollars, $131.30 to be exact.One day, I was wondering what to do with it.

As the last day of school approached, my mom helped me wrap the heart-shaped box full of dollars and coins.After all the other kids had left on the last day of school, I handed Mrs Brown the present. As she opened it, I told her that I wanted the money to go to Be Head Strong to help people like Rob.She burst into tears and hugged me tightly.

In 2009, Dan Black was hit by a car in his hometown of Chepstow, Wales, as he was biking to his job at a grocery store. The accident left him unable to move from the chest down. During his recovery, he suffered from a stroke (中风) that made his right arm useless. Once a promising guitarist, Dan, lives with his parents and requires around-the-clock care that costs nearly $300,000 a year. After the accident, a friend of his started the Help Dan Black Fund to cover some of Dan's medical expenses. Dan learned about an experimental stem cell (干细胞) treatment in China that could enable him to walk again. After four years, donations to help Dan Black totaled $30,000.
One day, in 2013, a news story caught the eye of Dan's mother, Michaela, who then shared the story with her son. The story featured a five-year-old boy named Brecon Vaughan. He had a rare form of disease and never walked by himself. The boy's family had created a website — the Vaughan website to collect $100,000 needed for the treatment in the St.Louis Children's Hospital, which could help Brecon walk. However, only half the amount had been raised, said the report.
Then, after considering that his own dream of walking could be years away, he donated his $30,000 to Brecon's cause. “I know how it feels to walk.Brecon doesn't. He needs it much more than I do，” Dan told a newspaper. Dan's generosity received a great deal of attention, and contributions started pouring into the Vaughan website.
Finally, the family soon went beyond their fund-raising goal. They've promised to give the extra funds to the Tree of Hope charity, which helps sick children in the United Kingdom find specialized medical help. In October, Brecon and his family travelled to St.Louis to begin the treatment. “What Dan did is great，” Brecon's mother said. “It is an extraordinary gift.”
