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(



).


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.

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.
