While-reading Scanning:Match the main idea with each paragraph The introduction of Tu Youyou and her research Tu Youyou was awarded the Nobel Prize Tu Youyou’s response to the award The process of discovering the artemisinin Careful reading: Answer the questions This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou (co-winner), whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin, a crucial new treatment for malariaArtemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and has led to improved health for millions of people. Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year, and about 600,000 die from it. Artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria, and is thought to save 100,000 lives a year in Africa alone. Q1: Why is the discovery of artemisinin important? A. Because it was discovered by a Chinese scientist. B. Because it is a new type of medicine that tastes good. C. Because it has saved hundreds of thousands of lives and become a vital treatment for malaria. D. Because it is the only medicine that can cure all diseases. Para 1 Para 2 Tu Youyou, a committed and patient scientist, was born in Ningbo, China, on 30 December 1930, and graduated from Peking University Medical School in 1955. After she graduated, she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. In 1967, the Chinese government formed a team of scientists with the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria, and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers chosen. In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. 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. Q2:Why did Tu Youyou go to Hainan at first? A. To graduate from a medical college there B. Because malaria spread more widely in Hainan C. To look through ancient medical books locally D. To set up a research team in Hainan 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. This medicine, which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria. Para 3 Q3:What was the key to getting a good extract from the wormwood? A. Using dried wormwood B. Boiling the wormwood C. Using a lower temperature D. Testing on themselves Q4: Why did boiling wormwood fail to work? A. The wormwood was not fresh enough. B. High temperature ruined its medical effects. C. The team used the wrong kind of plant. D. The method from ancient books was wrong. Q5: Why did Tu’s team test the drug on their own bodies first? A. To save malaria patients’ lives B. To win public praise C. To shorten the research period D. To confirm the safety of the new medicine How was artemisinin discovered?

Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize, she said, “The honour is not just mine. There is a team behind me, and all the people of my country. This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine. It is indeed an honour for China‘s scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.” Q6: What did Tu Youyou think of the discovery of artemisinin? A. It was only her personal achievement. B. It was the fruit of the whole team’s hard work. C. It had nothing to do with traditional Chinese medicine. D. It brought no honour to Chinese science.

Because she was committed, patient, persistent, selfless, and modest, and her discovery saved millions of lives. D. Because she discovered that traditional Chinese medicine is better than Western medicine. personal qualities of the great people What qualities do you think a great people should have? determined dedicated patient persistent hard-working selfless courageous responsible intelligent strong-willed Post-reading Activity 1: Which is more important for making a great discovery,talent or effort? talent effort Discussion effort Student A: “I think effort is more important. Tu Youyou failed over 190 times but she never gave up. If she only had talent without effort, she might not have succeeded. Talent gives you a start, but effort keeps you going. Just like Michael Jordan said, he learned from failures. So I believe effort matters more than talent.” talent Student B: “I think talent is more important. Not everyone can become a great scientist like Tu Youyou. You need a special talent for science and research. Effort is important too, but without talent, you may work very hard and still not make a great discovery. So I believe talent comes first.” Talent may give you a head start, but effort takes you to the finish line! Remember: Success = Effort + Perseverance + Dedication.
