China has its first Nobel Prize in Science. And the winner, 84-year-old Chinese scientist Tu Youyou, also became the first Chinese woman to win the Nobel Prize. She won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with William C. Campbell, an Irish-born researcher, and Satoshi Omura of Japan. The three winners will share the prize of 8 million Swedish crowns ($920,000).
Half of the Prize was given to William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura for their new treatment against illness caused by roundworm parasites (寄生虫). Tu Youyou won the other half of the Prize for developing a medicine, Artemisinin(青蒿素), which can help people fight malaria(疟疾). More than 240 million people in Africa have benefited from the treatment, according to the WHO (World Health Organization), and more than 1.5 million lives have been saved since 2000, thanks to the medicine.
Tu Youyou started her research in 1969 when she was chosen as the director of a government project to find anti-malaria medicines. She and her workmates studied ancient Chinese medicine books and many different traditional treatments. They did nearly 200 experiments before they finally succeeded in getting the material Qinghaosu, later known as Artemisinin, in the 1970s. This medicine became the standard treatment for malaria in the WHO's list of important medicines.
Premier Li Keqiang congratulated Tu for winning the Prize. He said, "Tu's winning the prize shows China's progress in scientific and technological field, and marks a great contribution of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to human health."
Although it's a late honor for Tu and the world's recognition of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tu's winning the first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine makes Chinese scientists encouraged and confident to achieve more success in the future.

Celebrities(名人) are everywhere nowadays: on TV, in magazines, online. People think and talk about them a lot. Is this harmless fun or is it bad for us? How many people are truly crazy about modern idols(偶像)? And on the other side of the coin, is being famous harmful to the celebrities?
Studies suggest that most of the teenagers do not really idolize celebrities. Researchers have found three kinds of fans.
About 15% of young people have a social interest. They love chatting about their favorite celebrities with friends and this does not appear to do any harm.
Another 5% feel that they have a strong-personal relationship with a celebrity. Sometimes they see them as their soul-mates(心灵伴侣) and find that they are often thinking about them, even when they don't want to. These people are easy to feel depressed. If girls in this group idolize a woman star with a body they consider to be perfect, they are more likely to be unhappy with their own bodies.
That leaves 2% of young people with an unreasonable interest. They might spend several thousand pounds on a paper plate the celebrity had used, or they would do something lawbreaking. These people are in most danger of being seriously upset.
What about the celebrities themselves? Some researchers in the USA did a study to find out the effect of being famous on these people. The study showed celebrities showed off too much and they were very narcissistic(自恋的). The researchers looked at 200 celebrities, 200 young adults with MBAs (Masters in Business Administration), who were a group known for being narcissistic, and some general population. As the researchers expected, the celebrities were much more narcissistic than the MBAs and both of these two groups were a lot more narcissistic than the general population.
Four kinds of celebrities were included in the study. The most narcissistic were the ones who had become famous through reality TV shows. Next came comedians(喜剧演员) and then actors.
The least narcissistic were musicians. One interesting result was that there was no connection between narcissism and the length of time the celebrity had been famous.
So, what can we learn from this? Most people who are very successful or famous are usually self-centered and are likely to act only for their own benefits. As we can see from celebrity magazines, they also often feel lonely and even hopeless. They make harmful role models.
1.The underlined word "depressed" in Paragraph 3 probably means .
A. sad B. afraid C. pleased D. hopeful
2. According to Paragraph 5, who are the most narcissistic?
A. Celebrities.
B. The general population.
C. Young adults with MBAs.
D. Teenagers who admire celebrities.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A. Most fans of celebrities want to become famous.
B. Talking about celebrities does harm to teenagers.
C. Narcissism increases with the length of time of being famous.
D. Only a very small group of teenagers are crazy about celebrities.
4.What's the purpose of this passage?
A. To make us understand celebrities better.
B. To direct teenagers to become celebrities.
C. To compare different people with celebrities.
D. To discourage teenagers from taking celebrities as idols.
Did you know that about 55% of communication is unspoken, so in fact, our bodies are actually saying more than our words. I find that the key to a successful conversation in any language is to speak to people not only in their spoken language but also with the body language they know best.
Britain, along with much of Northern Europe, has a non-touch culture, so personal space is very important. In a formal(正式的) situation, we would usually greet each other with a handshake. Informally, but not so often, my British friends and I would greet with a hug. Hardly ever would we greet with a kiss on the cheek, let alone a hug and two kisses on the cheek!
Here in the south of Italy, and in many different parts of the world, both men and women greet with two kisses on the cheek, use a lot of hand signs and often touch each other. In other words, little personal space is left between people when communicating.
At university, I have learnt to successfully communicate in spoken Italian. And since I moved to live with the local people, I have also started to pick up their body language. Sometimes, I find myself not knowing what hand signs to use when expressing myself. However, what I know for sure is that I would miss the opportunity to fully put myself in the Italian culture if I keep my personal space unbroken.
Here are 5 body language tips in Italy;
● Use different signs; head, arms and hands.
● Use facial expressions. Always smile at people! It is said that smiling is the most powerful unspoken way to communicate friendliness.
● Use eye contact , because "the eyes are the window to the soul."
● Don't worry about personal space. Italians are a people who like to use the sense of touch, so moving away or keeping your distance may be considered as being unfriendly.
● Touch. When meeting and leaving, always shake hands.
1. In Britain, people usually greet each other with .
A. a warm hug B. a handshake

2. The writer uses Britain and Italy as examples to show .
A. men and women greet in the same way
B. Italians are more friendly than the British people

A. likes to keep his personal space
B. tries to learn Italian body language
C. knows little about Italian hand signs
