Tu Youyou, a commited and patient scientist, was born in China and graduated from Peking University Medical School in 1955. After graduation, she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. In 1967, she was chosen by the government to join a team of scientists with the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria. Her team examined over 2,000 old medical texts, and evaluated 280,000 plants for their medical properties. From their research, they discoveredand tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria.
复述课文
Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a substance that worked. After a lot of failures, in 1971, Tu Youyou and her team members succeeded. They even insisted on testing the medicine on themselves to make sure that it was safe. Later, the medicine was tested on malaria patients, most of whom recovered. The medicine, which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria.
According to Tu Youyou, the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort. Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize, she said the honour belonged to the team behind her and all the people of her country and that the success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine.
