（A）
Marie Curie was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1867. At that time, women in Poland couldn’t go to university, so she went to Paris to study physics and chemistry. There, she met Pierre Curie, a fellow scientist, and they married in 1895.
Together, Marie and Pierre studied radioactivity. In 1898, they discovered two new elements: polonium (named after Marie’s home country) and radium. Their work was dangerous because radium is harmful, but they kept researching. In 1903, they won the Nobel Prize in Physics. After Pierre’s death in 1906, Marie continued their work. In 1911, she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry—she is still the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences.
Marie Curie’s work helped develop X - ray machines, which are widely used in medicine today. She worked hard until her death in 1934, and her spirit of pursuing science still inspires people around the world.

Thomas Edison is one of the greatest inventors in history. He was born in 1847 in the US. He had little formal education—he only went to school for three months. His mother taught him at home, and he loved reading science books and doing experiments.
At 12, Edison sold newspapers on trains to earn money for his experiments. Later, he worked as a telegraph operator, but he never stopped inventing. In 1876, he built his own laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey. People called it “the invention factory” because Edison and his team invented many things there.
Edison’s most famous invention is the practical light bulb. He tested over 1,600 materials for the bulb’s filament (灯丝) before finding the right one. In addition to the light bulb, he invented the phonograph (the first machine to play sound), the motion picture camera, and many other useful things.
Edison once said, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety - nine percent perspiration.” He worked over 16 hours a day and believed hard work was the key to success. He died in 1931, but his inventions changed the world forever.

Leonardo da Vinci was more than just a great artist—he was also an inventor, scientist, and engineer. He was born in Italy in 1452. As a child, he loved drawing, and later he became a famous painter. His most famous works include Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, which are still admired by people today.
Da Vinci was also ahead of his time as an inventor. He drew plans for many inventions that were not built until hundreds of years later, such as a flying machine (similar to a modern airplane), a parachute, and a tank. He even designed a primitive robot!
As a scientist, da Vinci studied many fields. He made detailed drawings of human anatomy to learn how the body works. He also studied plants, animals, and the movement of water. His notes and drawings show his curiosity about the world around him.
