68、 College of Svign in Paris.Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics.

69、ay facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgrum. Her services were recognised in the form of a Militarys Medal by the French government. In 1918, Irene became her mothers assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the tech

74、utler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art fr

75、om his familyboth his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical

76、 experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didnt lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeatss poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats gen

77、erally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to

78、the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the age of 50 and 75. After Yeatss death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the fallin
