LONDON，England，a capital city full of art and history，an important political centre，a huge financial market place.
Whatever you think about London, visiting as a tourist is very different from living there. Each part of London has its own character. Some parts are richer than others，or more industrial， or have better housing.
Let's start with the centre, the "Square Mile". This is the oldest part of London. In the past,this is where all financial business was done. Not many people live here,but 300,000 people work here every day.
Moving west,we come to the West End. This busy shopping and entertainment district is bursting with things to do. Take a walk down Oxford Street, past big department stores like Sel-fridges and Harrods. Rents here are very high,a one-bedroom apartment may cost around 1000 pounds (14,845 yuan) a week.
Further away is West London. This area is more residential and very fashionable. Go see the home of Diana, the Princess of Wales：Kensington Palace. Notting Hill,made famous by the film starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, is here.
The East End contains the Port of London，which historically is where many immigrants first arrived. Waves of French, Belgians, Jews,Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have all lived here. This makes the area very diverse(各式各樣的) ，but also quite poor. It has a reputation as being dangerous. Since London won the bid to hold the Olympics in 2012, many Londoners hope that housing, education and employment for many people in this area will improve.
It is difficult to be general about London. The city is made up of a "collection of villages"， each area with its own character and community. Put them all together, and you have London, a international capital.

Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married,some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils(4匕石) in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.
When she was only twelve years old，Mary became the first person to find the almost com?plete skeletons(骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn't become fa?mous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891 ，a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study phys?ics. She did so because she could not get a college education inPoland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another sci?entist. Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911，this time for Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist.
( ) 1. Mary Anning was one of the first women to .
A.win the Nobel Prize for Science after getting married

Scientist Florence Wambugu works with farmers in Kenya, a country in East Africa. She helps them grow bigger and better crops. Wambugu is especially interested in finding simple ways to produce more food.
In the past ten years,Wambugu has spent much of her time studying sweet potatoes, which are an important food in her part of Kenya. A virus kept attacking the plants. It stopped the sweet potatoes from growing well. Because of the virus,some farmers lost three quarters of their crops.
Wambugu went to war against the virus. Her search for a way to save the sweet potatoes led to a lab in St. Louis, Missouri.
The lab mainly works on genes, the chemical " computer programs" found in the cells of living things. Genes tell a plant to produce pink flowers or an animal to grow black hair. Now scientists have found ways to move genes from one living thing to another. That process is called genetic engineering.
Wambugu spent three years in the lab. As a result, she created a sweet potato plant that could fight off the virus. Wambugu tested her research in Kenya, and her plants produced won?derful sweet potatoes.
That's just the beginning, Wambugu believes. Genetically modified foods, she thinks,could help farmers in poor countries grow badly-needed crops，thus，fewer people will go hun?gry-
