BEIJING-Pharmacologist Tu Youyou has become the first scientist on the mainland to win America"s
respected Lasker Award for her discovery of a new approach to malaria (疟疾) treatment.
The 81yearold was presented with the medical prize by the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation on
September 23, 2011 in New York.
Tu, a scientist at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing, was praised by the jury (评判委员会) for her "drug therapy (治疗) for malaria that has saved millions of lives across the globe,
especially in the developing world," according to a statement on the foundation"s website.
In early 1969, Tu was appointed head of a government project that aimed to eradicate(消灭) malaria, and it was then that she began applying modern techniques with Chinese traditional medicine to find drug
therapy for malaria.
After detecting (检测) 380 extracts (提取物) made from 2,000 candidate recipes, Tu and her
colleagues obtained a pure substance called "Qinghaosu", which became known as artemisinin in 1972.
An artemisininbased drug combination is now the standard regimen (养生法) for malaria, and the World
Health Organization lists artemisinin and related agents in its catalog of "Essential Medicines", said a
statement from the foundation.
The Lasker Awards are given annually to people who have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of human diseases since 1945.
Lasker Awards are known as "America"s Nobels" for their knack (熟练技术) of gaining future

Following the UK Home Secretary’s meeting on reform of the student immigration system, the UK
government recently announced the end of the post-study work visa from April 2012. This will force tens
of thousands of Chinese students to leave the UK after graduation.
Sadly, the domestic（国内的）job market doesn’t welcome them with open arms. A report by
Tigtag.com at the end of 2011 showed that over 35 percent of students admitted that they have
employment problems.
"Returning students often have fluent English, creative minds and a serious attitude toward work,"said
Zhang Tingwen, an HR expert in ChinaHR.com. “But lack of work experience is a big problem.” Xia Lei, an HR manager, responded to Zhang. “We need people who can work for us. We don’t need people
from big name universities to attract customers”.
Difference in work practices is another problem that worries employers, Zhang pointed out. “Some
returning students might be used to Western ways of dealing with people and things.”
Huang Shanshan, 25, got a job in a communication company in Shenzhen.“I once worked part-time in UK. My colleagues ate snacks when they felt hungry, even during working time or in meetings.” Huang
brought some cakes to the office and ate them. When her manager saw that, he told her not to eat at
workplace. “It took me some time to adjust to company rules in China,” said Huang.
1. Why is Wang Lu forced to leave the UK after graduation?
A. Because post-study work visa will come to an end.
B. Because she has no effective ways to learn English.

2. From Xia Lei, we can learn that _______.
A. the domestic job market gives welcome to returnees with open arms
B. employers prefer people who can work to those from top universities
C. returnees are used to Western ways to deal with people and things around
D. it is hard for returning students with creative minds to take work seriously
3. It can be inferred from the text that _______.
A. the reform of immigration system has great effects on the British people
B. some practices like eating snacks are allowed at the workplace in China
C. lack of work experience is a big problem to find a suitable job in the UK

g.However, there is nothing fixed aboutattitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as
medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in.A particular
danger was, thought to lie in public baths.By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his
kingdom.So did the king of England in 1546.Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe
lived with dirt in a friendly way.Henry Ⅳ, King of France, was famously dirty.Upon learning that a
nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not
go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was longlived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor
ever since the 18th century.Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health.Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease.Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness
have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ.Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to
be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine.Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.Many firsttime parents nervously try to warn their children
off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an
American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune
system.And the latter position is gaining some ground.
1. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because _____.
A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment
B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
2. Which of the following best describes Henry Ⅳ"s attitude to bathing?
A. Afraid.
B. Curious.
C. Approving.
D. Uninterested.
3. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By providing examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By following
the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.
4. What is the author"s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the role of dirt.
B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D. To present the change of views on dirt.
hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.
Sounds unusual，doesn"t it? But it"s not that unrealistic，with the development of C
hina"s highspeed railway system.And that"s not all.China has an even greater highspeed railway plan-to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe.
China is negotiating to extend its own highspeed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15
years, eventually reaching London and Singapore.
China has proposed three such projects.The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore
via Vietnam and Malaysia.Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany.The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.
If China"s
plan for the highspeed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days.The new system would still follow China"s highspeed railway standard.And the trains would be able to
go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.
China"s bullet train (高速客车), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the world"s
fastest average speed.It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.
O
f course, there are some technical challenges to overcome.There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge (轨距), maintenance of railway tracks.So，it"s important to pay attention to every detail.
But the key issue is really money.China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic
railway expansion.
China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment.
Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.
It"
ll be a winwin project.For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those
countries.
For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some muchneeded resources, but would also help develop China"s far west.We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused.With highspeed
trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all.And they"ll trade with
Central Asian and Eastern European countries.
1．China"s new highspeed railway plan will be a winwin project because________.
A．China will get muchneeded resources and develop its western regions
B．China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways
C．China will develop
its railway system and communication with other countriesD．the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism
2．According to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new highspeed railway plan is________.
A．technical issues
B．safety of the system
C．financial problems
D．maintenance of railway tracks
3．Which of the following words best describes the author"s attitude towards China"s highspeed railway
plan?
A．Critical.
B．Reserved.
C．Doubtful.
D．Positive.
4．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．New Railway Standards
B．Big Railway Dreams
C．Highspeed Bullet Trains
D．International Railway Network
