Most people know that Marie Curie(居里夫人) ...

Most people know that Marie Curie(居里夫人) was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 1887, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris. Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities(设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognized in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.

In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.

1.Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?

A. Because she received a degree in mathematics.

B. Because she contributed to saving the wounded.

C. Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic.

D. Because she worked as a helper to her mother.

2.Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot?

A. At the Curie Institute.    B. At the university of Paris.

C. At a military hospital.    D. At the College of Sevigne.

1. B 2. A 3. D 4. C 【解析】 这是一篇人物介绍类文章。文章主要介绍了与她的母亲同样优秀的居里夫人的女儿 Irene Curie 的生平以及她的杰出成就。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段Her services were recognized in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.以及第三段In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute.可知因为Irene Curie救助伤员,所以她获得了一个军事奖章,故选B。 2.推理判断题。答案定位在第三段In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926.在 1918 年,Irene 在居里夫人研究院成为母亲的助手,1924 年 12 月 Frederic Joliot 加入了该研究院,Irene 教给他该项工作要求的技术,不久他们相爱了并于 1926年结婚。由此可推断出Irene Curie在居里夫人研究院见到了自己的丈夫Frederic Joliot,故选A。 3.计算题。答案定位在第三段Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.可知他们的女儿1927年出生,五年以后他们的儿子出生,所以他们第二个孩子出生的时间是:1927+5=1932,故选D。 4.细节理解题。根据第一段Most people know that Marie Curie(居里夫人) was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice.和最后一段Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize,可知居里夫人获得了两次诺贝尔奖,Irene获得了一次诺贝尔奖,这是她们的不同之处,故选C。

How will words influence others? Let me tell you one of my experience.Parents are always so much nervous about their children’s study that they do almost everything to them.I’m just one of these children.Even at age of 15,I failed to doing things well.I began to doubt my ability and felt very sadly.Then one day my deskmate said to me,“Always trusting yourself and you can surely do things well.”Encouraged by what he said,I tried to do everything by himself and I found that I can do things well.

Encouraged words can really help people a lot.
