      Most people know that Marie Curie 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, 1897, 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 S?vign? 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 (設(shè)備) 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 recognised 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(輻射能). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17,
1956.(www.yygrammar.com)  

1. Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?

A. At the Curie Institute.                
B. At the Universityof Paris.
C. At a military hospital.                
D. At the Collegeof S ?vign ?.
3. When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born?
A. In 1932.                              
B. In 1927.  
C. In 1897.                              
D. In 1926.
4. In which of the following aspects was Irene Curie different from her mother?
A. Irene worked with radioactivity.

    　　Modcm inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly．Motor-cars cover a bundred miles in little more than an hour．Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed．Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending．Every ycar motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts(吹噓)of saving preeious seconds in handling tasks．

    　　All this saves timc, but at a prick．When we lose or gain half a day in speeding aeross the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so．We get the uncomfoerable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel tlru they have been left bebind in anot ar nine zoors Again pending too long at compulers resul's in painti ninrts and fingers．Mobile phones also to dange according to some seientists; too much uss may thesmit h bul radiation into our brains, a we do not like to think about．

    　　Howave, what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not or so it seems．We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time．Pcrhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imavination take us into another world．

    　　There was a time when some people's lives were devotcd simply to the cultivation of the land or the eare of eattle．No multi-tasking there; their lives wenl on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern．There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this．Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed;：they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone．Modem machinery has freed peope fre that primitive existcnee．

    認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文,根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中填入恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。注意:表格中每個(gè)空格只填1個(gè)詞。
         The history of Chinese calligraphy is probably as long as that of China itself.Calligraphy is a special
    category in China’s world of fine arts.Through the centuries Chinese characters have changed constantly
    and are mainly divided  into five categories today:the seal script(zhuan shu),official script(li shu),regular
    script(kai shu),running script(xing shu)and cursive script(cao shu). 
         Calligraphy involves a great deal of theory and requires many skills.Among the most outstanding
    calligraphers in ancient China were Wang Xizhi,Ouyang Xun,Yan Zhenqing,and Liu Gongquan,who are
    known for pioneering their own styles.
         In writing calligraphy,one will need a brush,paper,an ink stick and an ink stone,commonly referred to
    as the “Four Treasures of the Study”.There are different types of brushes.White goat hair,black rabbit hair and yellow weasel hair brushes are the main ones.According to their function,brushes are classified into
    three groups:hard,soft and medium.Brush sticks are usually made of bamboo,wood,or porcelain;ivory or
    jade sticks are rare and precious.
         The ink stick is a unique pigment used for Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy.The most famous
    ink stick is hui mo(Anhui ink stick),made from pines that grow on Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province.Clean water is needed to grind the ink stick.Press the ink stick hard and rub it lightly,slowly and evenly
    against the ink slab to make thick,liquid ink.
         While paper comes in many varieties,Xuan paper, produced  in Xuanzhou(today’s Anhui Province),is
    considered the best for Chinese calligraphy.The paper is soft and fine textured,suitable for conveying the
    artistic expression of both Chinese calligraphy and painting.With a good tensile strength and moth proof
    quality,the paper can be preserved for a long time.
         Ink stones or ink slabs have been classified into three categories:Duan,She and Tao.Features common
    to all three are hardness and fineness.Although the stone is hard and fine,it is not dry or slippery.Using a
    hard and smooth stone,liquid ink can be produced easily by rubbing the ink stick against the stone.
         By handling the brush and ink skillfully and carefully,the artist can produce an infinite variety of
    calligraphic styles and forms.
