  Iranian lawyer and activist① Shirin Ebadi was awarded the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize on October 10 for her long fight for human rights, especially for the rights of women and children in her native land, becoming the first Iranian(伊朗人)and the first Muslim(穆斯林)woman to win the honor.

  Ebadi was chosen over such contenders② as Pope John Paul and former Czech President Vaclav Havel.The Nobel committee praised her work for nonviolent reform③ and described her as a beacon(灯塔)of hope for Muslims everywhere.“She sees no conflict④ between Islam and fundamental human rights,” committee chairman Old Danbolt Mjoes said in making the announcement in Plso.“It is a pleasure to award the peace prize to a woman who is part of the Muslim world and of whom that world can be proud.”

  News of the surprise choice reached the 56-year-old Ebadi while she was on a trip to Paris to attend a conference on Iranian films.During a news conference in the French capital, she showed serenity(沉着)she honed(磨炼)as Iran’s first female judge and later as a lawyer, writer and lecturer.“The duty of life is to fight in a difficult situation, as there is in Iran,” Ebadi told journalists.“If today, as a woman and lawyer, I was living in a country in which all the rights of women were respected, I wouldn’t be as proud of myself as I am today.”Dressed in a black suit and wearing lipstick(口红), the little Ebadi did not wear the traditional headscraf(头巾)required in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

  Iran’s President Mohammad Khatami on October 14 welcomed the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Ebadi.“There is no one who does not delight in the success of a compatriot(同胞),”Khatami told journalists after leaving parliament, adding that “obviously I am pleased that a compatriot has achieved such success.I hope that this achievement will serve the general interest of the people, the world peace and humanity(人类).”

  About 100 years ago, Ira Remsen, the Chairperson of the Chemistry Department at Johns Hopkins University and one of the pioneers of chemical education in America, wrote the following:

  While reading a textbook of chemistry, I came upon the statement nitric acid(硝酸) acts upon copper().” I was getting tired of reading such absurd stuff and I decided to see what this meantCopper was more or less familiar to me, for copper cents were then in useI had seen a bottle marked nitric acid on a table in the doctor's officeI did not know its characteristic, but I was getting on and likely to learnThe spirit of adventure was upon meHaving nitric acid and copper, I had only to learn what the words act upon meantThen the statement that nitric acid acts upon copper would be something more than mere words

  All was stillIn the interest of knowledge I was even willing to give up one of the few copper cents then in my possessionI put one of them on the table; opened the bottle marked nitric acid; poured some of the liquid on the copper; and prepared to make an observation

  Do you know what I saw? The cent has already changed greatlyA greenish-blue liquid foamed(起泡沫)and fumed(冒烟) over the cent and over the tableThe air in the neighborhood of the performance became dark redA great colored cloud aroseHow should I stop this? I tried to get rid of the mess by picking it up and throwing it out of the window, which I had openedI learned another fact nitric acid not only acts upon copper but it acts upon fingersThe pain led to another experimentI drew my fingers across my trousers and another fact was discoveredNitric acid also acts upon trousers
