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

two 110-story towers had been the tallest buildings until the Sears Tower in Chicago was
completed in 1974 at 1450.
The World Trade Center was hit by two planes and it fell in a short time later on
September 11 th, 2001.
America and United airlines both said two of their planes had been hijacked(劫持)and
crashed.
America said its planes were carrying a total of 156 people. One was a Boston-Los
Angeles. An FBI man said the former, a Boeing 767, hit one of the Trade Center towers;

Two United airliners with a total of 110 aboard also crashed -a Boeing 757 outside
Pittsburgh, the other, a Boeing 767, into the Trade Center.
The crash in Pennsylvania was a New York-San Francisco fight. It rushed into the
ground in a field about 85 miles from Pittsburgh. US officials said it was possible the
plane had been on a course for the presidential house at Camp David.
The police received a phone call at 9:58 am. It came from a man who said he was a
passenger locked in the bathroom of United Flight 93.

Joe Allison, from Totnes, Devon, beat the previous(先前的) record of 15 spoons set by
a 16-year-old in the United States in May 2004.
He could balance 16 spoons on his face ---- five from his forehead, one from his nose,
two from his chin, three from each cheek and one from each ear.
But he admitted he didn"t know what was behind his amazing talent.
"They just stick on," he said.
"It"s something I can do easily and I know I"ll make 17 one day, but I"ll probably have to
wait until I grow a bit so there"s some more space on my forehead," said the schoolboy.
Joe discovered his talent two years ago when his cousin challenged him to balance a
spoon on his nose.
His mother Fenella, 42, a swimming teacher, said, "I"m really, really proud of him because
he can do something that no one else in the world can do."
The little boy is to appear on the talent TV show ----Britain"s Got Talent, where he will
hang the spoons from his face and do a little dance.
Officials are now double-checking footage(影像资料) of Joe"s record attempt before
entering him into the Guinness Book of World Records.

after police shot and killed an armed man in what authorities described as a rush hour traffic stop that
turned deadly.
US Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt.Kim Schneider said the unidentified 35－year－old man sped
away in a white car after being stopped a few blocks from the Capitol.The man drove the wrong way
down a street and crashed into a police car in a heavily guarded area about a block north of the Capitol
grounds, striking two officers with his car along the way, she said.
Police then opened fire after seeing the man hold up his handgun and refuse to put it down, said
Schneider, who described the melee as "very fast moving". "The officers felt they were being
threatened-they were in fear for their lives, "Schneider said.
She did not know if the man ever fired at police.He was taken to a hospital, where he was
pronounced dead.
The officers who were hit-one of whom was on a motorcycle-had minor injuries, Schneider said.
The late afternoon scare occurred as lawmakers were wrapping up a third day of hearings for
Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.Police briefly closed up part of the Capitol as a precaution,
but the buildings were reopened about a half－hour later.Authorities said the shooting was not related to
the Capitol.
Carol Lanigan, of Toledo, Ohio, described how she saw a white car come flying down the street with
two police cars chasing it.She said she heard about four or five shots.
"There were so many gunshots being fired, my family got down, "said Robert Drumm of Oklahoma,
who was touring the nation"s capital with his family.
Numerous emergency vehicles converged quickly on the area.
Lanigan"s husband, Dale Lanigan, described a similar scene, saying that as the car sped past him the
driver had one hand on the wheel and it looked like he was reaching for something.

time and money into life after the NBA.
Yao said he did not only see his investment in the current CBA system in purely financial
terms, but also as a way to support the development of basketball in China and return the
favour to Shanghai for looking after him in his early days.
A few days before our most recent interview, Yao was asked to attend an award ceremony
for top athletes in China. He realised his superstar friends and fellow athletes were often forced
to take lowpaying jobs because they had little formal education.
As boss of the Shanghai Sharks, Yao has invited both teachers and mentors to help his players
better manage their financial futures.
Another of Yao"s problems has been balancing the knowledge he has gained in the NBA with
the traditions of home.
As head of the Sharks he has to consider what"s best for his team, even if it means hurting some
of his closest friends. Like his first coach, Li Qiuping, who was in hospital when Yao told him he
was going to have to replace him with an American coach.
Navigating traditional Chinese society, he said, can be tricky at times. He sometimes wistfully
thinks back to his early days, when he just played basketball. Even so, he never shies away from
the challenge.
When I think about these aspects of Yao"s life, I admire him as an example of someone who is
downtoearth and has not let fame go to his head.
As Yao will enter a new phase in his life, his 30s, fatherhood, returning to the NBA, and the
next step in his career as manager, he shows the courage to make a difference in the world.
Yang Lan One On One is shown on Shanghai Dragon TV, Sat.23:10 PM.
B. Yao pays his fellow athletes little money.
C. Yao has become a father of a boy.
D．Sometimes Yao has to hurt some friends for the profit of the whole team.
B．difficult
C．easy
D. special
B. runs after fame
C. is dependable
D．loves the earth
B．a novel
C．a memoir
D．an essay
paid parking at public hospitals.
Visitors had been paying up to $5 a day to park at Canberra and Calvary hospitals under the scheme
introduced in September, 2010.
Health Minister Katy Gallagher announced yesterday visitors would no longer pay these fees because
the idea had proved unworkable and unpopular.
The Government would also spend $29 million over two years to build a multistorey car park with
1,400 spaces at Canberra Hospital. But she could not rule out that visitors would be charged to park in the new structure.
Ms Gallagher said the Government had listened to the public concerns. "It is clear that, in spite of a
generous policy, many visitors to the hospitals don"t support the present system," she said.
The public would have access to twohour and threehour parking spaces from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
weekdays.
Opposition spokesman on urban services Steve Pratt congratulated the Government for "adopting"
Liberal policy to put an end to paid parking.
"Finally, the Stanhope Government has been forced to reduce the unfair burden that they put on ACT
residents," Mr Pratt said, "Why was it so necessary to put so many ACT residents particularly those who have to visit loved ones frequently or could hardly afford it through so much inconvenience and for so long before finally coming to their sense?"
Mr McGowan said the Government must come up with other ways to deal with problems such as
people parking at the hospital to avoid fees in Woden and Belconnen.
