Most great discoverers are brilliant and hard-working. Many are perfectionists who are unwilling to accept anything but the best. I think both talent and effort are important for making discoveries. If a person doesn’t have any talent, it is possible that even though he or she works hard, it will be difficult to succeed. On the other hand, people----even those with great talent---- rarely achieve anything without putting in efforts. 02.

Part 2: Para 2 & 3 How was artemisinin discovered? …… In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease. Her team examined over 2, 000 old medical texts, and evaluated 280,000 plants for their medical properties. From their research, they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria. One medical text from the fourth century suggested using the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever. Tu's team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect. They then tried boiling fresh wormwood, and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either. Their project got stuck. However, Tu Youyou would not acknowledge defeat. She analysed the medical texts again, and by chance, she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood. She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical properties. Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a substance that worked. After failing more than 190 times, the team finally succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members 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. …… Part 2: Para 2 & 3 04. Detail Reading Para. 2-3 Complete the flow chart. What do you think of Tu and her team’s work?
