China has its first Nobel Prize in Science. And the winner, 84-year-old Chinese scientist Tu Youyou, also became the first Chinese woman to win the Nobel Prize. She won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with William C. Campbell, an Irish-born researcher, and Satoshi Omura of Japan. The three winners will share the prize of 8 million Swedish crowns ($920,000).

Half of the Prize was given to William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura for their new treatment against illness caused by roundworm parasites (寄生蟲). Tu Youyou won the other half of the Prize for developing a medicine, Artemisinin(青蒿素), which can help people fight malaria(瘧疾). More than 240 million people in Africa have benefited from the treatment, according to the WHO (World Health Organization), and more than 1.5 million lives have been saved since 2000, thanks to the medicine.

Tu Youyou started her research in 1969 when she was chosen as the director of a government project to find anti-malaria medicines. She and her workmates studied ancient Chinese medicine books and many different traditional treatments. They did nearly 200 experiments before they finally succeeded in getting the material Qinghaosu, later known as Artemisinin, in the 1970s. This medicine became the standard treatment for malaria in the WHO's list of important medicines.

Premier Li Keqiang congratulated Tu for winning the Prize. He said, "Tu's winning the prize shows China's progress in scientific and technological field, and marks a great contribution of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to human health."

Although it's a late honor for Tu and the world's recognition of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tu's winning the first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine makes Chinese scientists encouraged and confident to achieve more success in the future.

Studies suggest that most of the teenagers do not really idolize celebrities. Researchers have found three kinds of fans.

About 15% of young people have a social interest. They love chatting about their favorite celebrities with friends and this does not appear to do any harm.

Another 5% feel that they have a strong-personal relationship with a celebrity. Sometimes they see them as their soul-mates(心靈伴侶) and find that they are often thinking about them, even when they don't want to. These people are easy to feel depressed. If girls in this group idolize a woman star with a body they consider to be perfect, they are more likely to be unhappy with their own bodies.

That leaves 2% of young people with an unreasonable interest. They might spend several thousand pounds on a paper plate the celebrity had used, or they would do something lawbreaking. These people are in most danger of being seriously upset.

What about the celebrities themselves? Some researchers in the USA did a study to find out the effect of being famous on these people. The study showed celebrities showed off too much and they were very narcissistic(自戀的). The researchers looked at 200 celebrities, 200 young adults with MBAs (Masters in Business Administration), who were a group known for being narcissistic, and some general population. As the researchers expected, the celebrities were much more narcissistic than the MBAs and both of these two groups were a lot more narcissistic than the general population.

Four kinds of celebrities were included in the study. The most narcissistic were the ones who had become famous through reality TV shows. Next came comedians(喜劇演員) and then actors.

The least narcissistic were musicians. One interesting result was that there was no connection between narcissism and the length of time the celebrity had been famous.

So, what can we learn from this? Most people who are very successful or famous are usually self-centered and are likely to act only for their own benefits. As we can see from celebrity magazines, they also often feel lonely and even hopeless. They make harmful role models.

【1】The underlined word "depressed" in Paragraph 3 probably means .

A. sad B. afraid C. pleased D. hopeful

【2】 According to Paragraph 5, who are the most narcissistic?

A. Celebrities.

B. The general population.

C. Young adults with MBAs.

D. Teenagers who admire celebrities.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Most fans of celebrities want to become famous.

B. Talking about celebrities does harm to teenagers.

C. Narcissism increases with the length of time of being famous.

D. Only a very small group of teenagers are crazy about celebrities.

【4】What's the purpose of this passage?

A. To make us understand celebrities better.

B. To direct teenagers to become celebrities.

C. To compare different people with celebrities.

D. To discourage teenagers from taking celebrities as idols.

With July coming, the summer holidays begin. Boys and girls in England will have a two month holiday. The holidays are the best time of the year for most children. They can spend most of their time in swimming, camping, and traveling with their parents.

The most enjoyable place is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for those who live far from the sea, their parents will take them to the seaside for the holidays.

Why do children like spending their holidays at seaside? It's because they like the sand, the sun, the cool wind and the salty water there more than anything else. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat and exciting things to do.
