During the First World War, Marie Curie played an important part and it is said that her unbelievable invention helped over one million wounded soldiers. Marie Curie was born in Poland on November 7, 1867. When she grew older, Marie wanted to go to university and study physics. Unfortunately, at that time women were not allowed to study in Poland, so Marie had to move to France where she was allowed to go to university. After she had completed a degree in physics, Marie worked together with her husband. During this time, Marie discovered two new elements which had never been heard of before. For her amazing discoveries, Marie Curie became the first woman ever to have won a Nobel Prize. A few years later, Marie went on to win a second Nobel Prize. At the outbreak of the First World War, Marie noticed that wounded soldiers — especially those with broken bones — recovered better if they were treated quickly. She already had a good understanding of radiation and how it was used to take x-rays, so she decided to put this knowledge to good use. Marie created mobile x-ray machines which could be used on the front line. This meant that soldiers who had been wounded could be treated a lot more quickly. Helped by her 17-year-old daughter, Irene, Marie Curie was able to install 20 mobile x-ray vehicles and 200 x-ray units at field hospitals in the first year of the First World War. These unbelievable machines were named Petites Curie after the amazing lady who created them. 38. Which country is Marie Curie’s motherland? A. France. B. Poland. C. Italy. D. Germany. 39.

British culture, for example, separates rooms into different uses so that people have the kitchen for cooking in, the dining room for eating in and the bedroom for sleeping in. They’re very protective of individual spaces and love to have their own bedrooms, their own chairs and their own secret drawers. This is very different in other cultures. Jamaican houses usually have a big back yard and a front garden. People play a lot outside — more outside than inside. It is almost as if the whole neighborhood was their house or their home, so to speak-they have a big family and they are always into each other’s spaces — it is never private. Arabs don’t have much space in public but they love to have big spaces inside their houses. They have large empty rooms with not much furniture because they don’t like to be alone — they like to be with each other inside these big spaces. The Japanese, on the other hand, don’t have much physical space — they have very small apartments and houses. But what they do with the space is very clever. The spaces are multifunctional. So during the day they’ll have a sitting room where at night they’ll remove all the furniture and it becomes a bedroom. The typical Japanese house is basically one big room — could be the dining area, the living area, the place they entertain (招待) guests and then could be the guestroom or even the bedroom. The old generation hardly really had their own room when they were children — they shared the room, they always stayed with their parents. Parents knew everything. 38. The British people like to have ________. A. small kitchens B. many mirrors C. private spaces D. big chairs 39. Jamaican houses ________. A. have much space in public B. have many gardens C. have different back yards D. have much private space 40. The Japanese people ________.

The design of houses is a work of art. B. The building of houses is a long process. C. The use of house space is related to culture. D. The size of rooms is based on practical needs. （2021年·四川对口高考） With the call for “staying local for the Spring Festival” this year, the number of railway passengers has dropped greatly.

The word itself is beautiful. The story of silk starts in China over 4000 years ago. One story says a silkworm's cocoon（茧）fell into a woman's teacup. It then opened into a single, unbroken thread. This was an important discovery. The Chinese learned they could use the cocoons to make cloth that was both beautiful to look at and soft to touch.

The services are quickly accepted by the public for their cheap prices and other benefits (益处) . For instance, people are exercising while riding a shared bike, which also helps to protect our environment. This is like shooting a few birds with one stone. But with the new bike-sharing fever come some problems. For a whole week, I kept seeing a shared bike at the front door of my neighbor’s flat where it should not be parked. It was there every morning when I headed to my workplace and it was still there every night when I came back home. Of course, it may not be the same one. Also, I have heard, more than once, from friends saying that they would like to lock up the bike or take it home. Clearly, some people still haven’t fully realized that it’s not right to do that. Of course, the government has realized this and some people have been warned or even lost their jobs for breaking the rules of using these bikes. As such services are still pretty new, both the public and the companies owning these bikes need time to adjust.

One story says a silkworm's cocoon（茧）fell into a woman's teacup. It then opened into a single, unbroken thread. This was an important discovery.

Also, I have heard, more than once, from friends saying that they would like to lock up the bike or take it home. Clearly, some people still haven’t fully realized that it’s not right to do that.
