1、Tu Youyou, the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize in science, has made us all proud. Tu, born in 1930,discovered artemisinin (青蒿素), a drug that has reduced the death rates for patients suffering from malaria (疟疾). “Artemisinin is a gift for the world people from the traditional Chinese medicin
2、e”. It is of great importance for curing malaria and other infectious diseases and for protecting the health of the world people.Tus winning the prize shows that China has made rapid progress in scientific and technological field and marks a great contribution of traditional Chinese medicine to the
3、cause of human health.Tu was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, China on 30 December, 1930. Tu studied at Beijing Medical University School of Pharmacy, and graduated in 1955. Later Tu was trained for two and a half years in traditional Chinese medicine. Tu worked at the Academy of Chinese Medicine
4、in Beijing after graduation. She was promoted to a researcher in 1980 only after the Chinese economic reform. In 2011, Tu became the first scientist in China to win Americas Lasker Award (拉斯克奖)for her achievements. Currently she is the Chief Scientist in the Academy.Section_Warming Up & Reading Prer

10、一位著名的医生他的确医术精湛,因而成了维多利亚女王的私人大夫。但当他一想到要帮助(那些)受到霍乱威胁的普通百姓,他就感到很振奋。霍乱是当时最致命的疾病。人们既不知道它的病源,也不知道它的治疗方法。因此,每次爆发霍乱时就有成千上万惊恐的人死去。约翰斯诺想面对这个挑战,解决这个问题。他知道在找到病源之前,疫情是无法控制的。对于霍乱是如何致人死亡的,当时有两种相对合理的看法,斯诺对这两种看法比较感兴趣。第一种看法是霍乱病毒在空气中繁殖,它像一股危险的气体到处飘浮,直到找到受害者为止。第二种看法是人们是在吃饭时把这种病毒引入体内的。 疾病从胃里发作而迅速殃及全身,患者很快就会死亡。John Snow
11、suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed evidence. So when another outbreak hit London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enquiry.

13、此,在1854年伦敦再次暴发霍乱时,约翰斯诺就准备开始他的调查。当霍乱在贫民区迅速蔓延的时候,他就开始收集资料。在两条特定的街上霍乱流行得很严重,以至于10天内就有500多人死亡。他决心要查明原因。First he marked on a map the exact places where all the dead people had lived. This gave him a valuable clue about the cause of the disease. Many of the deaths were near the water pump in Broad Street
14、(especially numbers 16, 37, 38 and 40)He also noticed that some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. He had not foreseen this, so he made further investigations. He discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been
15、given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the pump. It seemed that the water was to blame.Next, John Snow looked into the source of the water for these two streets. He found that it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from London. He immediately told the astonished people in Br

18、所有死者住过的确切的地方。这提供了一条说明霍乱病因的很有价值的线索。许多死者是住在宽街的水泵附近(特别是16、37、38、40号)。约翰斯诺还发现有些住宅(如宽街上的20号和21号以及剑桥大街上的8号和9号)却无人死亡。他以前没预见到这种情况,所以他要进行更进一步的调查。他发现,这些人都在剑桥大街7号的酒馆里工作。酒馆为他们免费提供啤酒喝,因此他们没有喝从宽街水泵里抽上来的水。看来水是罪魁祸首。接下来,约翰斯诺调查了这两条街的水源。他发现,水是从河里来的,而河水被从伦敦排放的脏水污染了。他马上叫宽街上惊慌失措的百姓拆掉水泵的把手,这样,水泵就用不成了。不久,疫情就得到缓解。他证明了霍乱是由病菌
19、而不是由气体传播的。In another part of London, he found supporting evidence from two other deaths that were linked to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved away from Broad Street, liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day. Both she and her daughter died
20、 of cholera after drinking the water.
