Wu’s father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women’s virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung’s life. Working in the scientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934, Wu registered at the University of California, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics. During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu’s pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”, “queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in Physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in Physics, the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University. To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was a saying among physicists: if the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct. She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of time calibrating (校准) instruments. She didn’t start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner. On Feb. 16, 1997, Wu died in the US. According to her will, she was buried in her hometown Taicang. She was a distinguished world citizen, and was forever a Chinese. (　)1.What influenced Wu Chien-shiung when she was young? A.Her life in America. B.Her love for physics. C.Her family background. D.Marie Curie’s achievements. (　)2.What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 3? A.Awards are usually gained through great efforts. B.Wu Chien-shiung was “a pioneer” in many ways. C.No scientists were better than Wu Chien-shiung. D.We cannot stress the importance of physics enough. (　)3.Which of the following can best describe Wu Chien-shiung? A.Caring and responsible. B.Courageous and creative. C.Stubborn and sensitive.
