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, 1897, 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 Sévigné 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(設(shè)備) 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(輻射能). Irene Joliot­ Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.

1.Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?

A．Because she received a degree in mathematics.

B．Because she contributed to saving the wounded.

C．Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic.

D．Because she worked as a helper to her mother.

2.Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot?

A．At the Curie Institute.

B．At the University of Paris.

C．At a military hospital.

D．At the College of Sévigné.

3. In which of the following aspects was Irene Curie different from her mother?

B．Irene combined family and career.

C．Irene won the Nobel Prize once.

D．Irene died from leukemia.

Ten years ago I used to be very fit. I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.

Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.

There’s a lot of stress(壓力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.

Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!

Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something as I used to. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?

1.The writer’s health is becoming worse mainly because ________.

A. he is very fond of his job

B. he likes drinking and smoking

C. he doesn’t care about his health

D. his work makes him feel stressful

2.According to the passage, when the author got the better job, which of the following is NOT true?

A. He got higher pay.

B. His working hours weren’t long.

C. He found it very stressful.

D. He had little free time at weekends.

3.What can we learn about the author?

A. The author is not sure what he should do now.

C. The author has got another new job.

D. The author feels much better now.

Maybe you are aware that the latest job markets news isn’t promising: Unemployment is still more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero, which is bad for economy, of course. And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think.

That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job turnover data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resignations, terminations, and retirements. In both good times and bad, turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2007, when the economy was still falling along, job growth was only 132,000, while turnover was 4.7 million!

And as it turns out, even today — with job growth near zero — over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.

I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to land a job. It’s true that if total employment were higher, it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from. And it’s true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.

But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated. They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills; be creative about where and how to look; learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data showed that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t looked for a job within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.

So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up. Four million people get hired every month in the U.S. You can be one of them.

1.The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate _______.

A. causes many people to lose job opportunities

B. should not stop people from looking for a job

C. prevents many people from changing careers

D. does not mean the U.S. economy is worsening

2.Where do most job openings come from?

A. Job growth. B. Business expansion.

C. Improved economy. D. Job turnover.

3.What does the author say about overall job growth?

A. It increases people’s confidence in the economy.

B. It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers.

C. It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.

D. It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed.

4.What is the key to landing a job according to the author?

A. Never giving up. B. Being intelligent.

C. Being educated. D. Being experienced.

5.What do we learn from the passage about the unemployment figures in the US?

A. They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.

B. They provide the public with the latest information.

C. They don’t include those who have stopped looking for a job.

D. They warn of the structural problems in the economy.

Are you a volcano lover? Here is a list of some of the world's most beautiful volcanoes

that our travel agency can offer you to visit. Don't miss them!

Mount Mayon, the Philippines

Located about 450 km southeast of Manila on the island of Luzon, Mount Mayon is the

most active volcano in the Philippines; a September 2014 eruption forced thousands to flee the

area. Those who hike the volcano are rewarded with views of the towns in the Albay province

and the Pacific Ocean. But even those who prefer the view from a distance have a historical

good point at the Cagsawa Ruins, once an 18th Century Franciscan church that was destroyed

by an 1814 eruption.

Kilauea and Marina Kea, Hawaii

Hawaii's volcanoes are known for their active eruptions and extraordinary scenes. Mauna Kea is around one million years old, while Kilauea is the youngest volcano in Hawaii and has

been erupting continuously since 1983. The lava falls straight into the sea, creating fantastic

forms of black rocks and smoke clouds.

Mount Kelimutu, Indonesia

Kelimutu's three mysterious crater lakes attract both scientists and tourists to the island

of Flores in Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara province. One is emerald green (翡翠綠), another

dark red, and the third pitch black. Scientists say the lakes take on such colors because the

volcanic gases met the lakes' minerals centuries ago.

1.People who hike Mount Mayon can enjoy the following EXCEPT ______.

A. views of the towns in the Albay province

B. views of the Pacific Ocean

C. views of the Cagsawa Ruins

D. views of Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara province

2.According to the text, Kilauea_____________________.

A. is an active volcano

B. stopped erupting in 1983

C. is the youngest volcano in the world

D. forced thousands to flee in 2014

3.The colors of Kelimutu's three mysterious crater lakes are due to_______________.

A. water pollution B. different environments

C. chemical reaction D. different temperatures
