But their works may not even have existed if it hadnt been for Murasaki Shikibu, a Japanese woman widely considered to be the worlds first novelist. In addition to a two-part novel called The Tale of Genji, Shikibu also wrote a book of poems. Maria Sibylla Merian Today, children as young as preschool age can happily explain how a caterpillar (毛虫) turns into a butterfly. But there was a time when no one knew this not even scientists. Until the 1670s, scientists thought that caterpillars and butterflies were two totally different creatures. Thanks to Maria Sibylla Merian, we know the truth about these beautiful insects. Ada LovelaceAda Lovelace, born in 1815, was the daughter of famous British poet Lord Byron, but she wasnt a poet herself. She was the worlds first computer programmer. Lovelaces mathematical (数学的) talent was obvious at a young age and caught the attention of Charles Babbage. Babbage designed the early computing machine that he hoped would be able to quickly solve math problems. In addition to helping Babbage design the early computer program, Lovelace was also the first to recognize that the machine might be able to do more than calculation.Tu Youyou Tu Youyou, born in 1930, became the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. In the 1970s, Tu worked to find a way to prevent the spread of malaria (疟疾). She discovered artemisinin (青蒿素), which is used in life-saving, malaria-fighting drugs around the world today. 21.

An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles (障碍) and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me? He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didnt mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.Last summer I received a letter from Matthews parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Rick,My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I dont have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know Im a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.
