She became the most famous woman scientist of her time. That is the story of Marie Curie’s life. She did not mind working and she took little time of the honours(荣誉) that were given to her in later years. This was the secret of her greatness.Marie was born in 1867. Her name was Marie Sklodovska then. She lived in Poland where her father was a teacher. Everyone soon saw that Marie had a quick mind.Marie’s mother died when her youngest daughter was only ten. From then on , Marie knew that she would have to work hard at her lessons if she wanted to be successful in her life. She studied very hard and won top honours at her school.Marie and her older sister, Bronya, dreamed of studying in France at the Sorbonne. Their father, however, did not earn enough money to send them there . It was Marie who thought of a plan: she would teach at home and send her money to Bronya. After her sister finished studying in Paris, she could get work and send Marie the money to study there herself.With tears in their eyes the girls parted, and Marie worked very hard for six years to pay for her sister’s studies. At last it was Marie’s turn, but by the time she got to France, her sister was married and could not give her much help .Again Marie worked. She studied in a small room without heat and light. She lived on bread and tea most of the time, but all she ever thought of was her mathematics and science. This was her world , and above all , she liked her experiments.It was in Paris that she met and married Pierre Curie, a young scientist who had already earned(赢得) respect(尊重).Together they made their experiments in an old wooden house that was too cold and damp for their health. They knew that some elements(化学元素) in the world gave off a strange power(能量) that could go through other objects. They found more of this power in some elements than in others.For four years they tried experiments to separate(提取) this power new element. Then they found something which they called radium. Its power was very much greater than the power contained(包含) in other elements.The Curies were given the Nobel Prize for their great discovery, but they were too ill to go to Stockholm themselves to receive it. They used the money for further experiments on the uses of radium. They found it could be used in treating(治疗) diseases.Pierre died suddenly just after he had been offered a good post(职位) at the Sorbonne. Marie Curie was given the post . She thus became the first woman ever to teach there. She continued their work and made more important discoveries. In 1911 she received another Nobel Prize. It is the only time in history that two Nobel Prizes have been given to the same person .She always said that it was because of her children that she went on with her work-and in doing so, she discovered a hidden power and gave it to the world .
