AFrom writers to scientists, here are the amazing stories of women you may not know about, but certainly should.Murasaki ShikibuYou may be familiar with lots of novels by male writers, from Mark Twain to Charles Dickens. But their works may not even have existed if it hadn’t been for Murasaki Shikibu, a Japanese woman widely considered to be the world’s first novelist. In addition to a two-part novel called The Tale of Genji, Shikibu also wrote a book of poems.Maria Sibylla MerianToday, children as young as preschool age can happily explain how a caterpillar (毛虫) turns into a butterfly. But there was a time when no one knew this — not even scientists. Until the 1670s, scientists thought that caterpillars and butterflies were two totally different creatures. Thanks to Maria Sibylla Merian, we know the truth about these beautiful insects.Ada LovelaceAda Lovelace, born in 1815, was the daughter of famous British poet Lord Byron, but she wasn’t a poet herself. She was the world’s first computer programmer. Lovelace’s mathematical(数学的) talent was obvious at a young age and caught the attention of CharlesBabbage. Babbage designed the early computing machine that he hoped would be able to quickly solve math problems. In addition to helping Babbage design the early computer program, Lovelace was also the first to recognize that the machine might be able to do more than calculation.Tu YouyouTu Youyou, born in 1930, became the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. In the 1970s, Tu worked to find a way to prevent the spread of malaria (疟疾). She discovered artemisinin(青蒿素), which is used in life-saving, malaria-fighting drugs around the world today.21. What can we learn about Murasaki Shikibu?A. She was a famous poet.B. She was highly educated.C. She was an award-winning writer.D. She was a pioneer in novel writing.22. What is Ada Lovelace best known for?A. Her family background.B. Her mathematical talent.C. Her work on computer programming.D. Her invention of computing machines.23.

Tu Youyou.BAfter giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles (障碍) and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Rick,My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live anymor e. But I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.Your friend,Mathew24.

A major rescue operation was performed on Sunday following two strikes which hit the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. Two men died, while two others were taken to hospital.A police spokeswoman said, “A man in a serious condition in hospital, following simultaneous(同时发生的) incidents in the Brecon Beacons, has now improved and he is recovering. Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing. All men were believed to be from England.”Mark Jones, of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team, described the lightning strike as a freak accident, and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service.The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents involving thunder and lightning were rare, electrical storms should be taken seriously by walkers.The organisation’s delivery officer, Elly Hannigan Popp, said, “We’d advise everyone to check the weather forecast before starting a walk. If you hear thunder, see lightning or if your hair stands on end, postpone activities even if the sky looks blue and clear. Lightning will strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Lightning can strike the same place repeatedly —especially tall, pointed, isolated objects.”“If there is no shelter you should keep moving. And if you become the tallest object, crouch(蹲) in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall. Make yourself as small as possible, stay on your toes and keep your heels together, as it will allow electricity to go up one foot, through the heels and back i nto the ground through the other.”28.

Warnings from a delivery officer.C. First aid in a lightning incident.D. Safety tips on a lightning strike.DLooking back on China’s road to outer space, people can easily find it has not been very smooth. In the past years, Chinese people have made hard and determined efforts to realize the dream their ancestors had for thousands of years.After China’s first satellite into the Earth’s orbit in 1970 came four flights of unmanned Shenzhou missions from 1999 to 2002.The country carried out its first one-piloted space flight in 0ctober, 2003, making China the third country in the world to have independent human spaceflight ability after the Soviet Union and the United States. Then came another breakthrough oil October 12,2005, wh en Shenzhou 6, China’s’ second human spaceflight, was launched, with a crew of two astronauts. What’s more, the landmark(里程碑)spacewalk done by ZhaiZhigang ,one of the three boarding Shenzhou 7, launched on Sept.25,2008, leads the country further in its space exploration.Meanwhile, China’s moon exploration project, started in 2004, has also been progressing satisfactorily. Fift y years after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world’s first man made satellite, China’s first circumlunar(绕月的)satellite Chang’e l took off on Oct.24,2007, which became another milestone in China’s space achievements after the. above-men-tioned manned flights. Chang’e l was expected to fulfill four scientific goals, one of which was to probe(探测)mineral elements on the moon, espe cially those not existent on the Earth. It’s said that the1unar regolith(月壤)is abundant in helium-3, a clean fuel that may support the Earth’s energy demands for more than a century. Nearly 3 years later,Oct.1. 2010 witnessed the blasting off of Chang’e 2.China’s 2nd unmanned lunar probe, marking another step forward in moon exploration. This time the aim is to test the key techniques of Chang’e 3 and Chang’e 4, as a preparation for a soft lunar landing in the future.With great expectations, people all ov er the world are looking forward to China’s greater space achievements.32. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?A. China sent its first satellite into the moon’s orbit in 1970.B. China is the third country in Asia to make human spaceflight.C.
