Passage A
Over the past decades, Tu Youyou has become one of the most inspiring scientists all over the world. Nearly every Chinese student admires her for her lifelong devotion to medical research and the great achievement she has made.
When Tu was a young girl, she witnessed many people lose their lives because of malaria. At that time, effective treatment for this disease was hard to find. She made up her mind to study medicine, hoping to find a safe way to save poor patients in the countryside.
After graduating from university, she started long years of hard research. The working conditions were far from perfect. She had no top-level lab equipment, and most experiments had to be done by hand. Besides, she needed to read thousands of old Chinese medical records day after night to find useful plants. She met hundreds of failures, but courage never left her.
It took her more than 19 years to finally find artemisinin, a special plant material that can greatly reduce deaths from malaria. This amazing discovery has saved millions of people in developing countries. In 2015, Tu Youyou received the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Even after winning such a great honor, she never slowed down her research steps. She still spends most of her time studying new medical methods to help more sick people.
To Tu Youyou, true success never comes from luck. It comes from lasting persistence and a heart full of care for others. Her story tells teenagers that as long as we stick to our meaningful goals, we will finally make a difference.

Passage B
Zhong Yang is an inspiring botanist whose whole life was tied to plant seeds. When people talk about him, they always speak of his courage, selflessness and deep love for our motherland.
In his forties, Zhong left the comfortable city life and began long-term research on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The high land brought lots of challenges. The air was thin, the temperature dropped sharply at night, and the mountain roads were full of danger. Every time he went out to collect plant samples, he might face strong wind or sudden heavy rain.
He had a clear lifelong goal: build a complete seed bank for China to protect different plant kinds. For sixteen years, he traveled over 500,000 kilometers across high mountains. He often carried heavy sample bags and walked for hours without enough food or warm coats. Some friends asked him to stop such hard work, but he never planned to drop out.
Sadly, Zhong passed away in a traffic accident when he was still busy with his seed collection task. Before he left the world, he had collected more than 40 million valuable plant seeds. These seeds are well kept in the seed bank and will help plant research for hundreds of years.
Now many young college students look up to Zhong Yang. They say he sets a perfect example for them. From his life experience, we can learn that great achievements always require long-term hard work and a sense of responsibility for our country.

Passage C
Two years ago, Li Man was a girl who easily lost heart when meeting difficulties. She loved biology and hoped to join the school biology competition, but she failed the school selection twice in a row. After the second failure, she locked herself in the room and refused to read biology textbooks any more.
Her biology teacher found her sadness and had a long talk with her. “All inspiring people you admire have failed many times before their success. Failure is not the end of your dream. It is a chance for you to find your weak points and make progress,” the teacher told her softly. These words deeply inspired Li Man.
From that day on, Li made big changes to her study habits. She prepared a mistake notebook to record every wrong exercise. After each class, she stayed behind to ask the teacher for unclear knowledge points. When she met hard biology theories, she drew mind maps to remember them instead of feeling upset.
Months of steady effort brought good results. Last spring, she took part in the city middle school biology competition and won the second prize. Standing on the award stage, Li thought of the two failures she had experienced.
Now Li often shares her experience with her classmates. She tells them that the inspiring people around us are not those who never make mistakes. They are people who hold enough courage to start again after every fall.

Passage D
When we talk about inspiring people, different teenagers have different ideas. Some only admire pop stars or sports players for their fame and bright public performances. However, if we look deeper, we will find that every person who is worth admiring shares the same shining qualities: courage, devotion and perseverance.
It is true that many famous stars look perfect on TV or online. But most teenagers pay no attention to the hard days behind their success. Before getting public praise, they practiced thousands of times, faced countless doubts and overcame plenty of difficulties. No bright achievement can come easily to anyone.
What’s more, inspiring people do not only mean world-famous pioneers or super stars. Ordinary people around us can also light up our life and become our role models. A headteacher who stays late to help slow students, a community doctor who works hard on holidays, a volunteer who spends free time helping the old—all of them carry valuable spirit that we should learn from.
Looking up to inspiring people is meaningful for middle school students. Their life stories teach us two important lessons. First, never be afraid of difficulties and temporary failures. Second, keep a lasting wish to improve ourselves every day.
If we take these two lessons into our daily study and life, we will gradually become stronger and more responsible. One day, we may also become an inspiring person for people around us.
