Marie Curie, a world famous woman scientist, was born into a teacher's family in Poland in 1867and died in1934.
When she was still a child, she was fond of study very much and had a dream of becoming a scientist, but that would not be easy. Her family became very poor, and at the age of18, Marie began to work in the government. She helped pay for her sister to study in Paris. Later, her sister helped Marie with her education. When she was 24, she went to study at Paris University, where she had a difficult time but still worked very hard. Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered two new elements(元素）and studied the x-rays they emitted. She devoted(奉献) all her life to scientific research and her efforts were rewarded. In1901, Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in physics and was honored with a second Nobel Prize in chemistry in1911.
“Of all the famous people in the world, Marie Curie is the only one that was not spoiled(宠坏) by fame.” Einstein once said. Today, as a famous female, Marie Curie is still remembered by the whole world. People will remember her forever for her spirit of courage and devotion.

Curiosity(好奇心) is part of human nature. Children are famous for wanting answers to thousands of questions. Books and TV shows often depend on curiosity. People keep reading or watching because they want to find out what happens. But curiosity also provides many advantages.
Learning is the easiest if you have a desire (愿望) for knowledge. Curiosity can create that desire when you have a question you want an answer to. Many of history’s greatest discoveries were made by curious people. Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world and have useful technology to help them.
Even if you don’t plan to be an inventor or researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. If you develop the joy of learning, classes will become more fun. And you’ll be better because you will fully take part in the process of learning. Even if you're no longer a student, curiosity will make you get more information and then a better worker.
What do you do if you're not already curious? Luckily, curiosity is a skill that can be improved. If you act like you're curious, you’ll quickly start to actually feel curious. Often, the more you learn about a topic, the more interesting it becomes.
As you learn about a topic, collect information from as many sources(来源) as possible. Read different kinds of books, listen to talks and ask questions. Don't always get your information from the same source. Instead, learn to appreciate (欣赏) facts that different people know and the different opinions that they express. Ask a lot of questions. Remember, everyone knows something that you don’t. Find out what that is, and ask about it. This lets you learn something and makes the other person happy by letting them show off their knowledge.
In the classroom or out of it, developing curiosity is sure to be valuable.
