Marie Curie (Marie Curie) (1867.11.7-1934.6.5). French physicist and chemist. Originally from Poland, her original name was Maria Sklodowska. Born in Warsaw, Poland. In 1891, he entered the University of Paris in France for further study. Doctor of Science from the University of Paris. Married Pierre Curie in 1895. Together, they conducted research on the radioactive phenomenon first discovered by Becquerel at the time, and successively discovered two natural radioactive elements, radium and polonium. After Curie's death in 1906, she continued to study radioactivity and made achievements. She also wrote "General Theory of Radioactivity" and "Study of Radioactive Substances", etc., which promoted the development of nuclear science. For his research on radioactive phenomena, he, together with Curie and Becquerel, won the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics, and later won the 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, thus becoming a legendary great scientist in the history of science. She is the first female professor at the University of Paris and the first female academician of the French Academy of Sciences. She is also appointed as an academician of the Academy of Sciences in 15 other countries. She has received 24 prizes and medals from 7 countries and held 104 honorary positions in 25 countries. Madame Curie was not greedy for money or enjoyment, but dedicated herself to the development of science. On July 4, 1934, this great scientist passed away due to fatigue and long-term contact with radium, but her spirit will always inspire future generations.

Life is not easy for anyone, and we must have perseverance. The most important thing is that we must have confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we have a natural talent for everything, and we must complete it no matter what the cost. When it's over, you have to be able to say with a clear conscience: "I did the best I could." One spring, I was forced to rest at home for several weeks due to illness. I watch the silkworms my daughters raise as they spin their cocoons, and it interests me. Watching these silkworms working persistently and diligently, I feel that I am very similar to them. Like them, I always focus patiently on a goal. The reason why I am like this may be because some force is spurring me-just like the silkworm is spurred to spin a cocoon. For the past fifty years, I have been committed to scientific research, and research is the exploration of truth. I have many wonderful and happy memories. When I was a girl, I was studying alone at the University of Paris. During that entire period, my husband and I laboriously studied, as if in a dream, in the humble study where we later discovered radium. In my life, I always pursue a quiet work and a simple family life. In order to realize this ideal, I strive to maintain a quiet environment, free from the interference of human beings and the exaggeration of fame. I firmly believe that in science we are more interested in careers than in wealth. When Pierre Curie and I considered whether we should gain financial benefits from our discoveries, we both believed that it could not violate our pure concept of research. Therefore, we did not apply for a patent on radium, and we gave up a fortune. I firmly believe we are right. It is true that humanity needs reality-seeking people who are paid a lot for their work. However, human beings also need dreamers - they are strongly attracted by their careers, leaving them with no leisure or enthusiasm to pursue material interests. My only ambition is to work as a free scholar in a free country. I never took this benefit for granted because until I was 24 years old, I lived in occupied and ravaged Poland. I have estimated the price of freedom in France. I was not born with a gentle temperament. I have known for a long time that many sensitive people like me will be overly annoyed by even a half-word scolding, so I try to control my sensitivity as much as possible. I have benefited greatly from my husband's gentle and calm nature. When he passed away suddenly and suddenly, I learned to accept the situation as it came. The older I get, the more I appreciate the trivial things in life, such as planting flowers, trees, and architecture. I also have a little interest in reciting poetry and gazing at the stars. I have always been immersed in the beauty of the world, and the science I love is constantly adding new vistas. I believe that science itself has great beauty. A scientist engaged in research is not only a technician, but also a child. In the natural scenery, he seems to be fascinated by fairy tales. This kind of scientific charm is the main reason why I can work in the laboratory all my life.
Edit this article for understanding
1. Overall understanding In order to fully grasp the content of this article, you need to sort it out, which can be summarized into three aspects: purpose, environment and work. , some content in each aspect must also be organized. After sorting it out, you can integrate it and grasp it comprehensively. (1) The purpose of scientific workers is to explore the truth, rather than "seeking material interests." Marie Curie called her scientific career "pure research", which was conducted purely for the purpose of exploring the truth without any thought of fame or fortune. The discovery of radium could have made a huge fortune, but the Curies took it indifferently and did not even have the enthusiasm to apply for a patent. Science can discover the beauty of the world, and science itself has great beauty. This kind of beauty has infinite charm and arouses people's interest, just like a child in the natural scenery, "as if in a dream", and "as if intoxicated by fairy tales". This kind of interest makes people enjoy it endlessly.
(2) Scientific work requires freedom, tranquility and time. 1. Scientific research requires freedom. Marie Curie said that her "only luxury is to engage in research as a free scholar in a free country." Freedom is a prerequisite for scientific research. Under the iron heel of the invaders and the interference of authoritarianism, research work cannot be carried out smoothly. 2. Scientific research requires silence. In order to be quiet, it was necessary to avoid personnel disputes, so Mrs. Curie was willing to accept the situation and tried her best to restrain herself, making herself gentle and calm, and not upset when she was stimulated. For the sake of tranquility, she was indifferent to fame and wealth and remained aloof from the world. 3. Scientific research takes time. In order to gain time, Madame Curie strived to keep her family life simple, was willing to live in poverty, and minimized housework. In order to gain time, she was willing to be lonely. Even in her youth, she did not want the joy of youth and devoted herself to studying alone. (3) Scientific research requires dedication. 1. The goal must be consistent: Marie Curie spent 50 years of research, perseverance, and persistent exploration, and finally discovered radium; 2. Have confidence: I believe that we all have innate talents for everything. Confidence makes people not afraid of temporary failure, and confidence gives people the courage to try again after failure; 3. Be perseverant; no matter how difficult the working conditions are, you can't shake your will, and no matter how many setbacks you have at work, you can't shake your confidence; 4. Be diligent and diligent: Marie Curie devoted herself to scientific research for nearly fifty years. She concentrated, worked diligently, and persevered, and finally achieved great achievements. 2. Problem Study 1. "Perhaps the reason why I am like this is because there is some kind of force that spurs me on." ──Just like silkworms being spurred to spin cocoons." What kind of power does "a certain kind of power" refer to? The reason why Marie Curie did not say it clearly is probably because this kind of power is difficult to express clearly. This force is a compounding factor. Paragraph 1 says, “No matter what the cost, we must complete this matter.” Determination to complete is a factor. Paragraph 3 says, “Research is the exploration of truth.” The desire for truth is a factor. At the end of the article, it is said, "This kind of charm is the main reason why I can devote myself to working in the laboratory all my life." The attraction of scientific charm is one factor. Marie Curie engaged in scientific research not for fame and fortune, but for a lofty sense of mission. Scientific undertakings are undertakings that benefit mankind. This sense of mission must also be a factor. 2. "When I was a girl, I was at the University of Paris and lived my study years alone." Why is "loneliness" also a beautiful and happy memory? The "loneliness" mentioned here may not be translated appropriately. What is loneliness? When you are single, you feel lonely when you need to communicate your feelings but cannot communicate. There is no feeling of loneliness when you are alone in a room and read quietly. What Madame Curie means here is that she devoted herself to her studies, always stayed away from the happy and noisy crowds, and studied quietly alone. She read many books in college and gained a lot. Looking back, she feels that her years were not wasted. Such a wonderful college life hapiness. 3. What does Marie Curie mean by "realistic people" and "dreamers"? It should be understood according to the context. "Realistic people get a lot of rewards at work." This is completely appropriate, so Marie Curie is also sure. Paying attention to reality is to obtain material benefits through work, because after all, life requires money, and only by getting a lot of rewards can you enjoy a good life. "Dreamers" study for the sake of research, work for work, and study for ideals. They have no concept of material interests at all. As Madame Curie herself said, "They are strongly attracted by their careers. There is neither leisure nor enthusiasm to pursue material interests." 4. "I have always been immersed in the beauty of the world, and the science I love is constantly adding new perspectives." What does "continuously increasing its new vistas" mean? We must first understand that "the beauty of the world" does not mean the beauty of the scenery. Natural science studies the material world, reveals the laws of the material world, and explores the mysteries of the material world. Once you understand the rules and discover the mysteries, you will feel that this world is really wonderful. Beauty refers to the laws of material motion and the internal structure of matter. After studying physics and chemistry, you will feel the beauty of the world. The more science develops, the more the world reveals its beauty, so it continues to add new vistas. 5. Marie Curie was both happy and lonely when she was studying in Paris as a girl. How do you understand it? The "happiness" and "loneliness" mentioned here are not contradictory. Because she concentrated on her studies, she stayed away from the happy and noisy crowd, and studied quietly alone, which was very rewarding. Looking back now, she feels that her years were not wasted, and she feels wonderful for such a "lonely" college life. Structure chart: Purpose: Explore the truth, not for money, and indulge in science. My beliefs: Environment: keep quiet, pursue freedom, and cherish time. Summary: Dedicate yourself to science and devote yourself to science. Work: The goal should be consistent, you must have confidence, perseverance, perseverance, and hard work.
Edit this paragraph exercise instructions
1. Read the full text aloud, grasp the meaning of the text, and then answer the questions below. 1. The author believes that "human beings also need dreamers." What are the most basic characteristics of "dreamers"? From what things can we see that the author is such a "dreamer"? What do you think of this? 2. Why The author says that scientists should also be "a child"? What kind of mentality does this reflect? This question captures two particularly insightful sentences to explore the author's personality and soul.
1. The most basic characteristic of a "dreamer" is that he or she is dedicated to his or her career and devotes himself wholeheartedly to his career. His career is everything and he does not consider material interests at all. From the fact that Madame Curie gave up her patent, we can see that she was such a "dreamer". (Feelings can be discussed freely) 2. Because science itself has great beauty and endless charm. This beauty and charm are like fairy tales. In front of such a wonderful scientific world, scientists are like children fascinated by fairy tales. Same. This reflects the author's obsession with scientific research. 2. Some words in the text can be regarded as aphorisms or aphorisms. Select some and copy them in your notebook. It will be better if you write down a little bit. This question is about learning to take reading notes. Of course, reading notes are not limited to excerpts, but excerpting and writing experience are the main contents of reading notes. Students should be instructed to develop the habit of taking reading notes. If you accumulate too much, you should sort it into categories. 3. Read Eve Curie's "The Biography of Madame Curie" outside class, and collect information about scientists as great as Madame Curie. After sorting it out, store it in your own learning material library. This question is a requirement for extracurricular reading. First, let students prepare books. If they cannot have one volume per person, they should have several books and read them in turn.
Teaching suggestions for editing this paragraph
1. Guide students to learn to sort out. Only after sorting out and being in order can they be easy to master. Sorting should be carried out from different levels. It is necessary to analyze and summarize several aspects of the first level and several points of the second level. It is also necessary to consider how to arrange them in an orderly manner. When you learn to sort out, you learn an important way to process information. 2. We must pay special attention to the word "dedication". The spirit of dedication is the core of the whole text and the foundation of Madame Curie's ideological quality. Only by grasping this can we understand everything. 3. There is no need to delve into the difficulties caused by translation. Generally speaking, this article is not bad, so I selected it as a text and used it as a text for intensive reading. However, the translation is hardly perfect. Due to translation, several places are difficult to understand. For example, "I have estimated the price of France's freedom." The word "price" can only be understood as the price France paid to win freedom, which is difficult to connect with the above. Another example is "I have never taken this kind of rights and interests for granted." The word "naturally" is a bit awkward. From the context, it seems that the meaning here should be "I have never taken this kind of rights and interests as no problem." . It is time-consuming and useless to delve into such problems, because the text is a translation and it is a translation problem. 4. A portrait of Madame Curie can be hung on the blackboard, or relevant videos and courseware can be played. Letting students face Madame Curie and read about Madame Curie can create a classroom atmosphere that is conducive to edification and infection. 5. Teaching design

Feelings after reading
1. I read the article "My Belief" because I know that Marie Curie is a two-time Nobel Prize winner. A great scientist, so when I saw this article, I read it very carefully. Madame Curie devoted her life to working in the laboratory for the development of science. This is one of Madame Curie’s noble qualities. I summarized it After a while, the article wrote two points around Madame Curie's beliefs. The first point is: Don't seek fame. People think that giving Madame Curie a great reputation expresses people's respect for her, and Madame Curie will be very happy. Unexpectedly Marie Curie always pursued quiet work and a simple family life, so she tried her best to maintain a quiet environment to avoid interference from personnel and the drag of fame. This is worth learning from me. In Fengdu before, the second point is : Not for money. Marie Curie firmly believed that in science she was interested in career rather than money. When she discovered the first gram of radium, her belief prevented her from violating her concept of pure research, so she did not apply for a radium license. Patent, throwing away a lot of wealth. Some people say she is stupid, but she insists that she is right. She believes that "it is true that human beings need realistic people who get a lot of rewards at work. But human beings also need dreams." Home - they are strongly attracted by their careers and have neither the leisure nor the enthusiasm to pursue material interests." This makes me even more admire this great scientist who has won the Nobel Prize twice. At the end of the article, I wrote: "A scientist engaged in research is not only a technician, but also a child. He seems to be intoxicated with fairy tales and the scenery of nature." I also want to be "intoxicated" with my hobby, otherwise I will be Become a "hodgepodge" - broad but not masterful. "We must believe that we have innate talents for everything, and, no matter what the cost, we must complete it. When this thing is over Sometimes, you must be able to say with a clear conscience: I have done my best." This famous saying of Marie Curie should become my motto. "I will always pursue a quiet work and a simple family life. In order to realize this ideal. I strive to maintain a tranquil environment, free from the distractions of human affairs and the drag of fame." This is a famous saying of Marie Curie. If you savor it carefully, this statement may seem calm, but it has profound meaning. 2. We learned the lesson "My Faith", which was written by Marie Curie. When we were preparing for this lesson, we looked up some stories about Marie Curie. For example: indifferent to fame and fortune, teaching daughters well, living a simple life... "Indifferent to fame and fortune" means: Madame Curie is famous all over the world, but she neither seeks fame nor fortune. She won 10 bonuses of various kinds, 16 medals of various kinds, and 117 honorary titles in her life, but she didn't care at all. One day, a friend of hers came to her home and suddenly saw her little daughter playing with the gold medal that the Royal Society had just awarded her. He was surprised and said, "Mrs. Curie, you got a medal from the Royal Society." , is a very high honor, how can you give it to your children to play with?" Madame Curie smiled and said: "I want my children to know from an early age that honors are like toys, they can only be played with, and they must not be taken too seriously. "Be careful, otherwise you will achieve nothing." "Teach your daughter well" is: Madame Curie had two daughters. "Seizing the age advantage of intellectual development" is Marie Curie's important "know-how" for developing children's intelligence. As early as when her daughter was less than one year old, Madame Curie guided her children to engage in intellectual gymnastics training for young children, guide them to have extensive contact with strangers, go to the zoo to watch animals, let them learn to swim, and appreciate the beauty of nature.
When the children were a little older, she taught them a kind of artistic intellectual gymnastics, and taught them to sing children's songs and tell fairy tales. When they get older, let the children undergo intellectual training, teach them to read, play the piano, do handicrafts, etc., and also teach them to drive and ride horses. "Simple life" is: When Madame Curie and Pierre Curie got married in 1895, there were only two chairs in the new house, one for each of them. Pierre Curie felt that there were too few chairs and suggested adding a few more to avoid having no place to sit when guests came. However, Madame Curie said: "It is good to have chairs, but guests will not leave after they sit down. In order to have more If you have time to do research, forget it!" Madame Curie's annual salary has increased to 40,000 francs, but she is still "generous". Every time she comes back from abroad, she always brings back some menus from the banquet, because these menus are made of very thick and fine paper, and it is very convenient to write on the back. No wonder some people said that Madame Curie was "like a poor woman in a hurry" until her death. Once, an American reporter was looking for Madame Curie. He walked to the door of a fisherman's house in the village and asked a woman sitting barefoot on the stone slab at the door where Madame Curie lived. When the woman raised her head, The reporter was shocked: it turned out that she was Madame Curie. The above are some short stories of Madame Curie. I was deeply inspired after reading it: Faith is the rope that holds people and makes them enterprising.
