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, 1987, 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.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 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 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(白血病) because of her work with radioactivity(放射性). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.

How to Prevent from Altitude Sickness

Being a paradise to many tourists, Tibet has been the dreaming wonderland and attracted tourists all over the world. And now as tourism in Tibet enters the peak season, more and more visitors are longing to travel to the mysterious highland. Meanwhile, they are worried about the altitude sickness (高原反应) which is most likely to experience in Tibet. Experts advised that tourists to Tibet should have a scientific and better understanding of the disease.

Altitude sickness, also known as acute high altitude disease (AHAD), is a common physiological reaction caused by acute exposure to low oxygen content and air pressure and dry weather when people getting up to a place with a certain altitude.

Acute altitude reaction usually occurs within hours or days after a person goes up to a highland above 2, 700 meters above sea level from a region with a lower altitude. It is believed that most visitors to Tibet will be certain to suffer from at least some symptoms which will generally disappear through acclimatization in several hours to several days. It presents as a collection of nonspecific symptoms including headache, shortness of breath, oppressed feeling in the chest, lack of appetite, fever, dizziness, fatigue or weakness, etc. Some will even take the chance to come down with drowsiness, insomnia, adrenaline surge, nosebleed and so on.

However, experts point out that human bodies can adapt to the surroundings (适应环境) in a gradual way. Therefore, altitude sickness is not that scary.

To prevent the occurrence of altitude sickness, visitors should have a proper preparation in advance and avoid heavy physical activities before they go to Tibet. After getting off the plane, they should try not to carry heavy things, run or avoid outdoor activities as much as possible.

Nifedipinum, Nuodikang Capsule and Suoluomabao Capsule (胶囊), which is also known as Hongjingtian Capsule, may help some people prevent the occurrence of altitude sickness when they are taken three days before people arrive in a highland.

Visitors with a severe cold, a high fever, acute or chronic pulmonary diseases, severe cardiovascular diseases, women in late pregnant and kids under three years old should avoid traveling to regions with a high altitude.

Proper rest, considerate preparation, and enough oxygen uptake can all help to relieve altitude sickness. If a patient does not show any sign of improvements after three to four hours, he/ she should go to a hospital for medical treatment.

How can the appearance of a product be more important than what it does? The battle between form and function rose again when James Dyson, British inventor of the Dyson vacuum(真空)cleaner that has sold in millions around the world, resigned as chairman of London's Design Museum. It is widely believed that Mr.Dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style and fashion at the expense of serious industrial design.

Mr.Dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself. He may be right, but these days, museums everywhere can no longer afford to be unique centers of scholarship and learning.Among competition for sponsorship, they must use exhibitions of populist culture, nice cafes and shops or, best of all, a new building by Frank Gehry to increase visitor numbers.

On the one hand, some producers can be too old-fashioned and too concerned with the importance of product engineering and the functionality of their goods.On the other hand there are those who believe that how a product looks is more important.Design is indeed a broad term, involving both function and form.Typically, in any given product area, it changes from the former to the latter. Clothing is a good example.But surely you would have to be a very shallow person to think something's appearance was more important than what it did.

Today nearly all goods at any given price-point do much the same job.So almost the only way producers can differentiate their products from those of their competitors is to create some sort of emotional connection with the consumer, which could be through the visual appeal of the product or its packaging; or the imagery(意象)created by advertising. And what of the Dyson vacuum cleaners? Mr. Dyson may believe that people buy these machines because of the graphs showing their superior suction(喝酒), but most vacuum cleaners do a good job; the main reason people pay extra for a Dyson is because it is a vacuum cleaner with a trendy brand. With its inside workings exposed, it is a bit like a Richard Rogers building with all its pipes shown in bright colors on the outside instead of being hidden inside. Functional it may be, but it is a bit of a trick, too.

1.Mr. Dyson left the Design Museum because he thought the museum .

A. didn't increase the number of visitors

B. couldn't provide scholarships for learners

C. hadn't great appeal for serious industrial designs

D. wasn't loyal to its original purpose of learning

2.Speaking of clothing, the underlined word "latter" refers to .

A. affording protection

B. indicating one's identity

C. making someone beautiful

D. providing warmth

3.What is the author's opinion in Paragraph 4?

A. A product with convenient packaging sells well.

B. The majority of consumers prefer to buy branded goods.

C. Emotion contributes much to the development of advertising industry.

D. Most similarly priced products are of a comparable standard.

4.The author believes that people buy the Dyson vacuum cleaner because .

A. it has a fashionable range

B. it has very good suction

C. it sells well around the world

D. it is invented by James Dyson

5.What is the author's attitude towards the form of a product?

A. Optimistic B. Skeptical

C. Objective D. Disapproving

If you think you’ve gained too much weight or are too skinny, you can talk to a doctor. Your doctor will tell you _1.__.

If it is concerned about your height, weight, or BMI(体重指数),your doctor may ask questions__2.__. Your doctor may also ask about your family background to find out if you’ve received something from your parents that might make you taller, shorter, or a late bloomer(someone who develops later than other people of the same age). The doctor can then put all the information together to decide _3.__.

If your weight isn’t in a healthy range, you will probably get specific diet and exercise recommendations (推荐)based on our individual needs,. Following a doctor’s or dietitian’s plan designed especially for you will work much better than following fad(时尚) diets. For teens, fad diets or starvation plans can actually slow down growth, and the weight loss usually doesn’t last.

What _4._? Most teens who weigh less than other teens of their age are just fine. They may be going through puberty on a different schedule than kids of the same age, and their bodies may be growing and changing at a different rate. Most underweight teens catch up in weight as they finish puberty during their later teen years so there’s rarely a need to try to gain weight.

In a few cases, teenagers can be underweight because of a health problem that needs treatment. If you feel tired or ill a lot, or __5.__, or other problems that have lasted for more than a week or two, be sure to let your parents or your doctor know.

A.whether you might have a weight or growth problem

B.if you have symptoms (症状)like a cough, stomachache.

D.if you’re worried about being too skinny
