Lesson1 A Medical Pioneer
英语四级阅读理解
At the Nobel Prize Lecture on 7 December，2015，an 84-year-old Chine woman walked slowly on to the stage ．She began to talk about the life-saving drug，artemisinin，which she had discovered with the help of her team in the 1970s．The woman was Tu Youyou，the first Chine female scientist to be awarded a Nobel Prize for her work． A scientist who was on the Nobel Prize Committee called Hans Forssberg explained that "the discovery of artemisinin has led to the development of new drugs which have saved the lives of millions"． When thanking the Committee for the honour ，Tu Youyou said，"This is not only an honour for mylf，but also recognition and encouragement for all scientists in China．"
Tu Youyou was born in Zhejiang Province，China，on 30 December，1930．She studie
d medicine at Peking University Health Science Centre．After graduation，she became a member of China Academy of Chine Medical Sciences．Later，she studied Chine medicine for two and a half years with experts in the field from whom she gained a deep knowledge about traditional practices．
In 1969，Tu Youyou was chon to establish a team to find a cure for malaria — a dia that killed millions of people every year．Across the world，scientists had been trying to find a cure．They tested more than 240，000 chemicals with no success． However，Tu Youyou had an idea that Chine herbs might hold the cret． She studied ancient Chine medical literature and visited experts in traditional Chine medicine．She rearched hundreds of traditional recipes connected to anti-malarial cures．Then Tu Youyou and her team began using modern rearch methods to study the Chine herbs one by one．
This was not an easy task．The reason why this was difficult was that the team had limited resources．They did not have enough staff，and the laboratory in which they w
orked had poor air quality．However，after hundreds of failed experiments，they eventually came across a promising chemical．It worked well in experiments on animals，but they had to know if it was safe for humans．Tu Youyou bravely volunteered to be the first human subject when they were ready to start testing and the rest of her team followed her．The test was a success．The medicine they discovered，artemisinin，has now become the world's most effective drug for fighting malaria．
adjustmentEven though Tu Youyou is not interested in fame ，she has become a scientist who work is internationally renowned． In 2019，she was lected by the BBC as one of the most influential figures of science in the 20th Century along with Albert Einstein and Alan Mathison Turing．Tu Youyou was noted for her bravery in being a scientist during a difficult time for science in China，her ability to u old wisdom and new methods to achieve her goals and the fact that her work bridged the Eastern and Western worlds，saving millions of lives．Today Tu Youyou continues to conduct rearch despite her age．According to Tu Youyou，"From our rearch experience in discovering artemisinin，we learnt the wisdom behind both Chine and Western medicine．There is
