In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce

A lady who never gave up
She was a poor girl who worked to get
money to pay for her lessons. She became
the famous woman scientist
of her time. That’s
the
story of Marie Curie’s life. She
didn’t
mind working
and she didn’t
care about
the
honors(
荣誉
) that were given
to
her in later years.
Marie
was
born
in
1867.
Her
name
was
Marie
Sklosovska
then.
She
live
in
Poland. Her father was a teacher.
Everyone soon saw that Marie had a quick mind.
Marie’s
mother
died
whe
n
her
youngest
daughter
was
only
ten.
From
then
on,
Marie
knew
that
she
would
have
to
work
hard
at
her
lessons
if
she
wanted
to
be
successful(
成功的
)
in her life. She studied very hard and was one of
the best students
at her school.
Marie and her older sister, Bronya,
wanted to study in France at the Sorbonne.
But their father didn’t have enough
money to send them there. It was Marie who had
an
idea:
she
would
teach
at
home
and
send
her
money
to
Bronya.
After
her
sister
finished
studying
in
Paris,
she
would
get
work
and
send
Marie
the
money
to
study
there herself. So Marie worked very
hard for six years to pay for her sister’s
studies.
At
last
it
was
Marie’s
turn
but
when
she
got
to
France,
her
sister
was
married
and
could
not give her much help.
Again Marie
worked. She studied in a small room without heat
or light. She lived
on bread and tea
most of the time. But all she thought of was her
maths and science.
This was her world.
After four years’ hard work, Marie and
her husband found something which was
called
radium(
镭
).
They
were
given
the
Nobel
Prize(
诺贝尔奖
)
for
their
great
discovery(
发现
).
But they were too ill to go Stockholm themselves
to receive it.
Marie always said that
it was because if her children that she want her
work. And
she
discovered
a
hidden
power
and
gave
it
to
the
world.
It
was
the
same
power,
however, that killed Marie in 1934.

Australia has a lot of lovely animals.
The most famous ones are kangaroos and
koalas.
The kangaroo is the
symbol of Australia. They have large eyes and
ears. They
don’
t walk, they
jump. They use their strong back legs. They can
jump at up
to 74 kilometres per hour.
They can go over nine metres in one jump!
Kangaroo
mothers
have
pouches
(
育儿袋
)
to
carry
their
babies.
The
babies
stay inside to get
milk and keep warm. Kangaroos are everywhere in
Australia.
They are on TV
,
in books and in the shops. The government even
wants to put
them on passports
(
护照
).
There are
about 20 to 25 million kangaroos in Australia.
That’s more than the
number of people
in the country! Some kangaroos go hungry because
there is
not
enough
to
eat.
They
break
into
farms
for
food.
Farmers
are
very
angry
with
them.
To
help
the
farmers,
the
Australian
Government
kills
some
kangaroos each year.
The koala is another famous Australian
animal. They look like bears, and have
small
eyes
and
big noses. They
eat
leaves
from
gum
trees, where
they
spend
most of their time.
Koalas have a special smell. They use
it to mark (
标识
) their home
–
“
this is
my
place, you can
’
t come
in!
”
Like
kangaroos, a koala baby lives in i
ts
mother’s pouch.
But
koalas
have
fewer
places
to
live.
There
are
about
100,000
koalas
in
Australia. There is a law to keep them
safe.

think
cleaning sweeps away bad luck. It
makes the house ready for good luck.
The colour red is everywhere during the
Spring Festival. People think red is a
happy colour and will bring them a
bright future. People wear red, too. They
decorate (
装饰
)
their homes with pieces of red paper. Kids get a
lot of
“
hong
bao
”
. It is a red
paper bag with money in it. Usually, older people
give younger
ones hong bao. They think
it brings good luck.
The
Spring
Festival
is
the
time
to
make
everybody
happy.
So
don’t
say
any
bad words
or do anything that will bring unhappiness to
other people.
For
instance,
you’d
better
not
say
any
bad
words
like
“death”.
Don’t
break
anything. People think
that it means your luck is running out.
Also, don’t borrow or lend money on
these days. If you have borrowed money,
return it before the Spring Festival.

Look
at
the
light
and
beautiful
snowflakes
(
雪花
)
falling.
Ever
wanted
to
hold
them in your hands? They are always lost when they
meet your hands.
Well, this isn’t just
a problem for you. It was a problem for Wilson
Bentley,
too.
In the 1870s,
Wilson Bentley was just a teenager. His family
lived in a small
town
in
northeast
America.
Winters
there
were
long
and
hard.
Bentley’s
mother was once a school teacher. She
taught him at home. Bentley didn’t go
to school until he was 14. He was a
quiet boy, and loved reading his mother’s
books.
But it was his
mother
’
s microscope
(
显微镜
) that interested him.
When the
other
boys
were
playing
with
balls,
little
Bentley
was
studying
things
like
drops
of
water,
flowers
and
snowflakes.
Bentley
loved
watching
snowflakes.
For the next two years young Bentley
spent many winter days in a cold room
watching these ice crystals
(
晶体
) under his microscope.
The
boy
thought
they
were
so
beautiful
that
he
started
to
draw
pictures
of
them.
But there were so many snowflakes that he couldn’t
draw them all.
How could he
keep their beauty forever? Bentley thought of
buying a camera.
The
boy
and
his
mother
asked
his
father
to
buy
one.
But,
his
father
didn’t
agree. He thought the
whole thing was a bad idea. He thought the only
thing a
farmer should do was farming.
But
finally
Bentley
did
get
a
camera.
For
more
than
a
year
he
tried
to
take
pictures
of
snowflakes.
On
January
15,
1885,
during
a
snowstorm,
Bentley
took the first ever photo of an ice
crystal with his camera. “It was the greatest
moment of my life,” Bentley said
later.
For
13
years,
Bentley
worked
quietly
and
took
thousands
of
photos
of
ice
crystals. Later he became known as
“Snowflake” Bentley.

If you don’t keep
your
self warm enough, winter can be a
time of illness.
During the winter
months, people easily get colds and flu
(
流感
). Many think
they are the same, but these two
illnesses are different.
Colds can stay
with you for up to a week. You will have a running
nose, sore
throat, headache, cough and
a fever.
Flu is more serious. You will
feel sick very quickly. You will have a fever and
a
headache. Your body will hurt and
become weak. This could last for up to four
weeks.
Is there any way to
keep
yourself away from colds and flu?
Staying clear of
people with colds or
flu may work.
Try not to
touch (
触摸
) your nose or eyes
if you have been close to someone
who
has a cold. Wash your hands, especially after
cleaning your nose.
Going out with wet
hair can also give you a cold!
If you
catch a cold or flu, go to bed and rest. Doing
this will help you get better.
Drink
lots of water. Stay in a warm, well-aired room. If
you have a headache,
or your muscles
hurt, take some medicine.
