Tu Youyou, an 84-year-old Chinese female scientist, was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology (生理學(xué)) or Medicine on Oct. 5. She found a medicine that cures the deadly disease called malaria(瘧疾). Tu shared the prize with two scientists from the US and Japan. Tu is the first native Chinese person to get the Nobel Prize in natural science.

Tu found artemisinin (青篙素) in sweet wormwood(青篙) back in 1971. She spent the following years trying to improve the medicine. According to World Health Organization, about 200 million people suffer from malaria around the world, and about half a million die each year. Today, artemisinin is still the most useful medicine that fights against malaria.

When Tu joined the national research team to find the malaria medicine in the 1960s and the 1970s, things were hard. The team didn’t have advanced equipment then. Tu used to medicines by taking them herself. Tu’s team searched old Chinese medicine books by hand and tested over 2,000 traditional recipes (配方).

To do research, Tu also had to travel a lot. Once she returned to her family after six months away from home. Her little daughter didn’t recognize her and hid from the “strange woman”. However, Tu never complained. “ I feel rewarded when I see so many cured patients,” she said.

任務(wù)型閱讀,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下表，每空一詞

If you are asked to chair a meeting, remember the following six golden rules for meeting management.

Always start the meeting on time. If you begin on time, group members who show up late will realize the value of time. Beginning on time shows the skill as an effective time manager and sets an example for others to follow.

Select a note-taker or have the meeting recorded. You may need to go back to something that was discussed during the meeting at a later date. Good record-keeping is a sign of a good meeting manager as well.

Learn to listen. So many times we think about what we are going to say and, in the process, miss important points that other group members may be contributing （做貢獻(xiàn)）. What’s more, we often hear only what we want to hear, instead of really listening to other people. Meetings with effective listening are successful meetings.

Keep the discussion on track（軌道）. Many times an important topic can get sidetracked(轉(zhuǎn)變話題) in a meeting, especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic. Ask members who have different opinions to meet with you after the meeting. Doing so will help keep the discussion on track and reduce the chances of wasting group members’ time of great value.

Give everyone an opportunity to be heard. Some people like to control meetings, while others wait to be asked their opinions. As the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas freely.

End on time. If you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour, make sure the meeting lasts for only one hour. Running late with a meeting makes members late for other appointments, increases the chances that the members will mentally leave the meeting and reduces your reliability as an effective meeting manager.

Did you ever wonder how some of your favorite foods, products or toys came about? Believe it or not, they may have been an accident, or a failure of some other intention. Below, we found three mistakes we’re thankful for turned out to be what they are.

1. Most historians hold that the Chinese invented fireworks in the 9th century when they discovered how to make gunpowder. Story has it that a Chinese cook accidentally mixed together what were then considered common kitchen items and noticed they burnt. When put tightly(緊緊地）in a bamboo tube(管子and lit, it blew up.

2. In May of 1886, a law led John Pemberton, a pharmacist(藥劑師), to rewrite the formula(配方) for “Pemberton’s French Wine Coca”, his popular headache treatment. Containing sugar instead of wine as a sweetener, the outcome became something for Coke, which was later mixed with carbonated(碳酸) water. His bookkeeper suggested the name Coca-Cola because he thought the two C’s would look good together, which is how what we call Coca-Cola, a world-wide drink came into being.

3. During World WarⅡ, scientists at the University of Birmingham invented the magnetron(磁控管)—an important heat-producing part of the microwave oven. While working for Raytheon Corporation after the war, the American engineer Percy Spencer was testing the magnetron when a chocolate bar in his pocket melted. He went on to test other foods including popcorn kernels(仁), and found it to be a much more efficient way to cook. In 1947 Raytheon came out with the first restaurant microwave oven, which was six feet tall and weighed 750 lbs.
