In 1970, everything began to change. Leaving home Isabel Allendes uncle was a political leader named Salvador Allende. In 1970, her uncle

12、was elected president of Chile. In 1973, President Allende was killed during the fighting. When Isabel Allende began to fear for her life, she and her family decided to move to Venezuela. From Newspaper to NovelsIt was really a painful experience for Isabel Allende to leave her country. Without this

13、 experience, however, Allende said she never would have begun writing novels. Then she got a phone call from Chile. Her grandfather was dying. She knew she could not return home to be with him, but she wanted to respect him in some way. “I decided to write a letter about all the things he told us wh

14、en we were young,” Allende explained. Later, she wrote a long letter which became Allendes first novel, The House of the Spirits. The Writing Life“I spent ten, twelve hours a day in a room, writing,” Allende says, “I dont talk to anybody; I dont answer the phone.” When she finished the first draft o

15、f a new novel, Allende mailed a copy to her strictest critic(评论家).“I send it to my mother. She read it and came here with a red pen.

As a boy, he was told he w

20、as hopeless at science and was at bottom of his class. Now, aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(坚持) can lead.When he was 15

21、 in 1948，Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdons high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.In spite of his teachers criticisms(批评), Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept w

22、orking hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.“My own belief is that we will, in the end，understand everything about how cells actually work，”Gurdon said.In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic (基因的) informati

23、on into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996，the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.In 2006，Gurdons work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample(样本) of a persons skin can be used to create stem c

24、ells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patients heart after a heart attack.“Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things dont work, but when they do, you have to seize(抓住) the chance.”31.

There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J. C.,” he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had

29、 a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before

30、 the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down the stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try,

31、and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.“It was all right with me,” he s

32、aid years later. “I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens Olympic victories made lit

33、tle difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “Th

Her parents were teachers, and she learned the importance of e

39、ducation at very early age. No higher education was offered to women in Poland at that time, so Manya took a job as a tuor. She sent part of her income to Paris to help pay for her older sisters medical studies. Her sister qualified as a doctor and married a fellow doctor in 1891. Manya went to join

40、 them in Paris, changing her name to Marie. She entered the Sorbornne (now the University of Paris) and studied physics and mathematics, graduating at the top of her class. For the research she wanted to do, she was introduced to another young scientist, Pierre Curie. Later they fell in love with ea

41、ch other. After their marriage, they worked togher on radioacticity(放射学). Fame troubled Marie and also her husband, because science and research were their world and in this world of science fame and honor to person had no value. One day, when a writer for a newpaper tried to ask Marie about herself

42、 and her thoughts and beliefs, she answered, “ In science we must be interested in things, not in persons.” Much of the real character and spirit Of this usual woman was found in these few words, which she was later often to repeat. One evening, at a big party, a friend asked if she would like to me

43、et the King of Greece, who was also a guest.
