屠呦呦获诺贝尔奖

今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予了屠呦呦(共同获奖者)，她的研究促使了青蒿素的发现。这是一种至关

重要的治疗疟疾的新疗法。青蒿素挽救了数十万人的生命，并改善了数百万人的健康状况。全世界每年有

超过2亿人罹患疟疾，约60万人死于疟疾。青蒿素已成为治疗疟疾的重要组成部分，据认为仅在非洲一

年就能挽救10万人的生命。

屠呦呦是一位坚定而耐心的科学家，1930年12月30日出生于中国宁波，1955年毕业于北京大学医学院。

毕业后，她在北京的中国中医研究院工作。1967年，中国政府组建了一支以探索治疗疟疾新方法为目的的

科学家队伍，屠呦呦是其中首批入选的研究人员。在开始的时候，屠呦呦去了海南研究疟疾患者，在那里

疟疾较为普遍。1969年，她成为北京项目的负责人，并决定复阅中国古代医药文献，寻找这种疾病的传统

植物疗法。她的团队查阅了2000多本古老的医药文献，并对280000种植物的药用价值进行了评估。在他

们的研究中，他们发现并测试了380种不同的中国古代疗法，这些方法为抗击疟疾带来了希望。

一本四世纪的医药文献推荐使用青蒿提取物来治疗发烧。屠呦呦的团队测试了一批干青蒿，但没有发现效

果。然后，他们试着把新鲜的青蒿煮沸，并用从中提取的液体来治疗疟疾，但这也不起作用。他们的项目

陷入了困境。然而，屠呦呦并不承认失败。她再次分析了一遍医药文献，偶然间，她发现了一句话，建议

用另一种方法来处理青蒿。她得出结论，煮青蒿显然破坏了它的药用价值。她用较低的温度提取提取物，

发现了一种有效的物质。在失败了190多次之后，这个团队终于在1971年成功了。屠呦呦和她的团队成

员甚至坚持在自己身上测试药物，以确保它是安全的。后来，这种药物在疟疾患者身上进行了测试，大部

分受试患者都康复了。这种被称为青蒿素的药物很快成为治疗疟疾的标准药物。

AccordingtoTuybuyou,thediscoveryofartemisininwasateameffort.Uponhearingthatshehadbeenawarded

屠呦呦说，青蒿素的发现是一个团队努力的结果。当听到自己被授予诺贝尔奖时，她说：“这个荣誉不仅仅

属于我。在我身后有一个团队，还有我的国家的全体人民。这一成功证明了中医的巨大价值。中国的科学

研究和中医药走向世界，确实是一种荣誉。”

lovedbymanypeople.

阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦，也许是现代物理学中最伟大的科学家，通常被认为是有史以来最聪明的人之一。他

对世界做出了许多贡献，其中最著名的是广义相对论和著名的公式E=mc2。爱因斯坦不仅是一个天才，还

是一个勇敢而善良的人，受到许多人的喜爱。

ThisgentlegeniuswasborninGermanyon14March1879.Whenhewas16,hetriedtoenteruniversityin

Switzerland,butfailedduetohislowscoresinthegeneralpartoftheentranceexam,despiteobtainingexceptional

scoresinmathsandphysics.Afterstudyingforanotheryear,hemanagedtopasstheexam,enteringuniversityin

1896andgraduatingin1900.

这位文静的天才于1879年3月14日出生于德国。16岁时，他曾试图去瑞士上大学，尽管他在数学和物理

方面取得了优异的成绩，但由于入学考试的综合部分分数较低，他未能如愿。经过又一年的学习，他通过

了考试，1896年进入大学，并于1900年毕业。

Aftertwoyearsoflookingforworkasateacher,EinsteintookajobasaclerkintheSwisspatentoffice.While

the1921NobelPrizeforPhysicsforhisexplanationofthephotoelectriceffect.

在找了两年的教师工作后，爱因斯坦在瑞士专利局找到了一份职员的工作。在此工作期间，出于对知识的

强烈热情，他继续学习，并于1905年获得了物理学博士学位。同年，他发表了四篇杰出的物理学论文，这

一年后来被誉为科学史上的奇迹之年。此后，他逐渐以新艾萨克・牛顿闻名于世。四年后，他辞去了专利局

的工作，进入一所大学做全职研究。1922年，他因对光电效应的解释而被授予1921年诺贝尔物理学奖。

ofacademicinstitutionsclosedtohim.Asaconsequence,hehadtofleeGermany.AfterspendingtimeinEurope,

hefinallytookupapositionasaresearcherattheInstituteforAdvancedStudyinPrinceton,USA.Followingthat,

hecontinuedtomakegreatachievementsinphysicsandmathematics.

1933年，当希特勒在德国掌权时，情况发生了变化。爱因斯坦是犹太人，他发现学术机构的大门对他关闭

了。因此，他不得不逃离德国。在欧洲待了一段时间后，他终于在美国普林斯顿高等研究院担任研究员一

职。此后，他继续在物理和数学方面取得了巨大成就。

Tothepublic,hewasseenasaslightlyodd-lookingbutkindandfunnyman.Hehadathickmoustacheandlong

mistakenforProfessorEinstein!

在公众看来，他看似有点古怪，但很善良又有趣的人。他胡须浓密，有时白发挺立，就好像刚遭了电击。

虽然他是个天才，但他有时会忘记一些事情，比如他朋友的生日。尽管他性格古怪，但他深受朋友和邻居

的喜爱。甚至还有一个关于他如何帮助一个小女孩的故事：这个女孩敲了他的门，请求他帮她做家庭作业。

事实上，爱因斯坦经常在街上遇到一些人，他们会拦住他，请他帮忙解释一些事情。经过多次这样的场合

后，他终于开始说：“对不起！对不起！我总是被误认为是爱因斯坦教授！”

On18AprH1955,itwasreportedthatEinsteinhadpassedaway,andthewholeworldmournedthegreatlossofa

1955年4月18日，有报道说爱因斯坦去世了，全世界都为一位杰出科学家的逝世而哀悼。

不幸的是，这样的成就来之不易。由于研究的节奏太快，黄某缺席了父亲的葬礼，甚至连自己的癌症也因

你有没有曾忘记锁门？或者，你曾经忘记关掉电视或电脑吗？这种事情经常发生在我们身上，浪费资源，

有时还会导致问题。然而，在不远的将来，我们将生活在智能住宅中。当我们外出时，智能家居会为我们

锁门；当我们忘记关电视时，智能家居会记得关掉它。这些智能住宅将使我们安全，节省能源，并提供一

个更舒适的居住环境。
