Tu Yoyo was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Oct. 5. She was the first Chinese citizen {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(win) a Nobel Prize in science. Tu {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(share) the prize with the Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan.

    Tu is a researcher at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine now. She  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(give) the prize for  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (develop) artemisinin (青蒿素) , a new drug therapy against malaria( 疟疾)， {#blank#}6{#/blank#} has saved millions of lives worldwide, especially in developing countries.

    Tu and her colleagues joined a government project to find a new malaria drug in the late 1960s. They made 380 herbal extracts from two thousand recipes from traditional Chinese medical books. In 1971, after nearly two hundred  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (fail), Tu's team  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(final) found an extract that was 100% effective against the malaria parasites-atremisinin. In 2001, the World Health Organization made artemisinin {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (it) first choice in the treatment of malaria.

    “The discovery of artemisinin is a gift to mankind from traditional Chinese medicine. It's the achievement of the research team. Winning the prize is  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} honor for Chinese science and traditional Chinese medicine,” Tu said.

    Chinese high-speed railways are a very. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (comfort) way to travel. They are clean, quiet and efficient. China has led other developing countries and even some developed ones in this field since the first high-speed train {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (come) into use in 2008.

    The stations are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (main) built outside the town center, but local transport has been lengthened {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (connect) the high-speed network. The facilities on the train are new and the staff are well trained. Even the second class {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (chair) provide plenty of space. The passages are so wide {#blank#}6{#/blank#} you can move without disturbing anyone. You can use your mobile phone, access {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Internet or work on your laptop. There is also a restaurant car, though the kinds of food {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) limited. The toilets arc large, clean and user-friendly too. The train almost doesn't rock. Even when the train brakes, you can hardly feel it shake.

    What's more, with a faster check-in, the high-speed train are also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (little) affected by weather than planes. Seldom are {#blank#}10{#/blank#} delayed or cancelled for weather condition. Therefore, they have become the first choice for many passengers.

    Poetry is never far away from our daily lives. Many of us grew up reciting classic poems, learning to enjoy this beautiful art form that's able to use just a few lines {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(express) such rich meanings.

    The Chinese Shijing, which dates back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, has a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(long) history than the Homeric Epics(荷马史诗). Even today, classic poems {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(love) by a lot of people.

    To recognize the special {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(able) of poetry and get its creative spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression.

    The Chinese Poetry Congress(中国诗词大会) showing classic poetry is {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(extreme)popular. The competition saw over 100 hopeful participants taking part in {#blank#}6{#/blank#}number of challenges. The participants, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}ages range from 7 to 70, include students, farmers, teachers and foreign competitors with an interest {#blank#}8{#/blank#}Chinese literature.

    And even TV series involving poetry are very {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(success). For example, in The Legend of Zhenhuan, one of the drama's most moving songs was adapted from a poem {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (write)by Wen Tingyun of the Tang Dynasty.
