The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome stuff they call “books ”.

I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn ’t answer, in fact I dared not.

The clock struck 12. " Oh, dear!" I cried, "ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to study so hard when he was a boy ."

The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep. 48.

Man is a born child, his power is the power of growth.

The trees come up to my window like the yearning（渴望的） voice of the dumb（哑的） earth. You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long. The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing.

But Man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the ___52___of the air.

The world rushes on over the strings of the lingering（踌躇的） heart making the music of sadness.

We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.

The mist, like love, plays upon the heart of the hills and brings out surprises of beauty. Your voice, my friend, wanders in my heart, like the muffled sound of the sea among these listening pines.

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves...

D

85-year-old Tu is awarded the Nobel Prize for her contribution to reducing the death rate of malaria（疟疾）, minimizing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. This is what science is all about.

Tu’s name “Youyou”, came from the Classic of Poetry. The characters depict（描绘）the cheerful sounds deer make when calling for mates. Tu’s finding has sa ved millions’ lives during the 40 years. This also proves the value of her research product. The moment of joy and satisfaction when she discovered the artemisinin (青蒿素) in 1971 after all kinds of failures in experiments is eternal.

Tu has won some attention when she got the Lasker Award in 2011. But there is no way to compare her popularity back to the attention she is receiving today. She studied at the Peking University Health Science Center, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, from 1951 to 1955.

Let’s backtrack to 40 years ago. Tu finished the findings without using any advanced equipment, communication with outside world and papers to research. Nowadays, Chinese scientists have the passion to invent. As Premiere Li Keqiang mentioned in his letter,

6

“Tu's winning the prize marks China's progress in scientific and technological field”.

Tu’s winning will help people come to realize that all those international publications, whether it is the Nobel Prize, SCI publishing, Nature, or Science, are all just gimmicks（花招） of measuring（衡量） tools. The sole key is to be oneself and try one’s best with confidence. There had been doubts about “whether there would be a Chinese national awarded the Nobel Prize.” This sort of doubts is unnecessary. The scientific awards are equal to all, as long as the research findings are good enough.

The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds also reminds us that science should be more accessible(易接近的) to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one devotes into scientific research. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researcher will be closer to the right one.

Artemisinin and science saved lived around the world. Tu saved the confidence of Chinese scientists, who will care less about whether a Chinese scientist be awarded the Nobel Prize in the future.

（Translated by Shen Chen and Joanna Law from Commentary 《屠呦呦获诺奖让我们更自信更自省》, published on People's Daily, Oct.6, 2015）

54. What does the writer think science is?

A. Winning the Nobel Prize

B. P romoting mankind’s health

C. Discovering the artemisinin

D. Making contribution to the country

55. What does the word “eternal” mean?

A. 无价的

B. 荣耀的

C. 永恒的

D. 成功的

56. What’s the right order of Tu’s life?

①Tu is awarded the Nobel Prize.

②Tu was given the name “Youyou”, came from the Classic of Poetry.

③Tu got the Lasker Award in 2011.

④Tu studied at the Peking University Health Science Center.

⑤Tu discovered the artemisinin after all kinds of failures in experiments.

A. ①②③④⑤

B. ②④⑤③①

C. ②③①⑤④

D. ②③④①⑤

57. Tu’s winning tells us that____________.

A. There would be a Chinese national awarded the Nobel Prize

B. We’d better have a name came from the Classic of Poetry

C. The artemisinin can reduce the death rate of malaria, minimize patients’

suffering and promote mankind’s health.
