Prize posted a photograph of her notebook saying."Marie Curie died of aplastic anaemia
(再生障碍性贫血)on4 July 1934,a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work.
Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902,is 1 and will be for 1.500
years."
The tales of Marie and other scientists of her time are in some sense very_2
Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered X-ray in 1895.A year later,Antoine Henri
Becquerel found that some natural substances_3 rays,too.Later,Marie and her
physicist husband,Pierre Curie,gave it a(n)_4,radioactivity.
However,the5 effects of radioactivity were not discovered until decades later.
Marie and her6 scientists dealt with radioactive substances for decades using
little or no protection.Marie's death is a reminder about the risks pioneers in science7
It was only after people handling radioactive substances began to get similar8
that medical experts asked people to use protection.Today,medical health workers and
patients wear heavy protective9 during X-rays.
It is almost _10 that those exploring new frontiers for science are exposing
themselves to unknown dangers.There is a(n)_11 for better protection for the
pioneers,but that is not possible until the dangers are fully known.For example,the space
suits astronauts wear12
them against radiation.However,only13
will tell if there are some other unknown dangers.
The contributions and sacrifices by such pioneers to the field of science are_14
