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 Sevigne in Paris.

At the age of 17 Irene entered the University of Paris 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 recognized 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.

1.When did Irene Curie go to the University of Paris?

A. In 1897 B. In 1914

C. In 1918 D. In 1924

Dear friends,

May I have you attention, please? I'm going to talk about something focusing in Protecting Wildlife. So far millions of species have died off or, have endangered mainly for two reasons. For one thing, man has been killing them for food or other commercial reasons. Take antelopes for example. Poachers hunt them for their fur, that can be made into luxurious shawls. For another, human civilization has been developing very fast that man has invaded and destroyed wild animals' natural habitats. Human activity have greatly threatened their existence. If all the wild animals disappear one day from the planet, humans would feel lonely. The world is beautiful for its diversity. Besides, some animals are extreme useful in the field of science, while others are especially adorable, unique, and keep us a good company. However, we should learn to share the earth with them. Thank you for your time.

Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact (互動) these days. The term is "networked individualism". This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals (個體) and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.

Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.

A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that's a good thing. Why?

In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected－h(huán)elpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.

Thanks to the computer. We are able to be alone and together with other people－at the same time!

1.The underlined phrase "networked individualism" probably means that by using computers people ________.

A. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest

B. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people

C. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people

D. stick to their own ways no matter what other people say

2.It can be inferred from the Pew study that ________.

A. people have been separated from each other by using computers

B. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely

C. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication

D. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing.

3.According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decision?

A. Parents. B. Friends. C. Phones. D. Network.

4.Which would be the best title for this passage?

A. We're Alone on the Internet B. We're Communicating on the Internet

C. We're Alone Together on the Internet D. We're in the Imaginary World of the Internet

Investing in yourself

Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.

1. Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.

You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. 2.. There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.

So what are some specific things you can do? 3.. Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.

You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. 4.. Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.

Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn’t 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通貨膨脹) is taken into consideration. 5.. But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.

A. This is just one way.

B. The benefits will stay with you.

C. If you aren’t a reader, you should start with that.

D. The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.

E. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.

F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.

G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.

3．I had dressed quite nicely for my first day as a student at  St．Anne's College of Further Education．In celebration of this new beginning，I had changed my unusual clothes to formal clothing．
Like many young people my age，I was under the impression that the best way to show your personality was by wearing the kind of clothing that my mother considered was not fit to be seen in public．But for my first day as a student I had made an effort to look what my mother called‘respectable'．
There were fifteen of us，sitting in the theatre hall，while the head of the drama department，Mr Wilson，gave us a warm welcoming speech．To my horror （恐懼），he then invited us to say why we had decided to do a drama course．I had no idea what I would say．The truth was that although I had a taste for unusual clothing，I was painfully shy．
