I was delighted to receive a copy of Marie Curie and Her Daughters by Shelley Emling through my mailbox a few weeks ago.
Actually science has never really been my “thing”. At school I really struggled with physics and chemistry and was much happier in English Language or History classes. My mind is not structured enough to understand how science works. I’m a bit of a daydreamer and prefer using my imagination rather than learning facts, figures and formulae (公式）.Of course I knew who Marie Curie was, her great achievements, her contribution to science, to medical advances and her influence on the world, but other than those, I really had very little idea about her life.
Shelley Emling has based this book on Marie Curie’s relationship with her two daughters, Irene and Eve. The book begins after the early death of Pierre Curie, when Marie is left to carry on the work that they started as a couple and to bring up her two small daughters alone. Emling has concentrated her book on the communication between Marie and her daughters. In her daighter's opinion, she was not an overly-protective mother, nor did she hesitate to spend time away from her daughters, yet this did not weaken their relationship. Marie was a caring and loving mother, who encouraged her daughters to become individuals, to achieve what they wanted to.
Marie Curie and her husband made the decision not to profit from their discoveries. It was because of this that Marie had to depend on donations to carry out her work, and that she had to carry out tours of the States.
I was very impressed by Emling’s writing style—she has told the story of three extraordinary women who were way ahead of their time in an interesting and very readable manner.
1.What is the writer good at?
A. Daydreaming. B. English and History.
C. Physics and chemistry. D. Facts, figures and formulae.
2.What is Marie Curie like in the eyes of Irene and Eve?
A. She makes a pet of them like babies. ，
B. She avoids staying away from them.
C. She encourages them to build their own characters.
D. She wants to be involved in every area of their life.
3.Why did Marie Curie tour the States?
A. Because she meant to make herself a famous person.
B. Because she needed money to bring up her two small daughters by herself.
C. Because she wished to introduce the medical advances to people in the U. S.
D. Because she decided to continue her work without money made from discoveries.
4.What’s the focus of the book written by Shelley Emling?
A. The connection between Marie Curie and her daughters.
B. The contributions Marie Curie made to the world.
C. The research work of Marie Curie and her husband.
D. The decision made by Marie Curie and her husband.

When my daughter Sally was five, I bought Grimm’s Fairy Tales and read Snow White to her one night. At the end of the original Grimm tale, Snow White’s stepmother is made to put on red-hot iron shoes and dance until she falls down dead.
This came as something of a shock. I always thought fairytales had happy endings. And I didn’t want my five-year-old daughter going to sleep thinking: “Thank goodness they tortured (折磨) that old woman to death.” That’s when I decided to write fairy tales.
In the years that followed, I wrote tales non-stop and read them to Sally at bedtime. The Corn Dolly was based on a child who was always complaining; The Silly King was just a silly story Sally loved; I wrote The Witch and the Rainbow Cat for Sally because of her enormous appetite for stories about witches while Dr Bonocolus’s Devil is a new version of the Faust legend．Nicobobinus, however, was different. I wrote this book when Sally was older and took up all things girls have to do — who’s friends with who, who stuck a sticker on the back of whose boyfriend, or whatever thing she felt funny.
Nicobobinus, the boy who could do anything, came out of my desire for a more innocent world. He lived a 1ong time ago, in a city called Venice. Only his best friend, Rosie, knew he could, and nobody took any notice of anything Rosie said, because she was always having wild ideas anyway. Nicobobinus was so different that it turned out to be an instant hit. The Times called me “an author setting out to rival the classic fairytales”. I asked Sally what she thought of Nicobobinus. She said it was her favourite.
1.What led the writer to start writing fairy tales for her daughter?
A. The frightening ends of past fairy tales.
B. His daughter’s strong interest in fairy tales.
C. His desire to let his daughter know more stories.
D. His attempt to fill his daughter’s bedtime with something.
2.We can infer from the third paragraph that the writer _____.
A. was a very productive fairy tale writer.
B. based all his stories on some old legends.
C. never described witches in his fairy tales.
D. created his stories out of his own interest.
3.When creating Nicobobinus, the first thing the writer considered was _____.
A. what story the publisher wanted to get.
B. the changes of his daughter’s interests.
C. ways to keep his daughter Sally innocent.
D. the difference of the story from other stories.
4.The underlined word “rival” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A. follow B. explore
C. challenge D. recommend
